A picture really is worth a thousand words isn’t it?

Thank you for posting that. I’ve been trying to get to the bottom of this “scandal” and that is pictorial proof that the Cruz campaign did NOT “lie” and indeed (foolishly) went off what CNN was reporting at the time.

I’m saving that picture and sending it to the Cruz campaign. Thank God you, or whoever it was, took that picture.

All the Cruz detractors here and elsewhere need to stop with the nonsense.

They should ask themselves one question: who are the ones supporting Trump right now? Karl Rove and CNN, that’s who; Trump supporters need to take that to heart. If they even want to try to honestly claim to be true conservatives.

Maybe they don’t though. Maybe it’s true that Trump’s support is really “blue collar right of center” but not necessarily conservative. If that’s the case then the country is lost already. It’s lost already if there really isn’t a conservative groundswell out there. We are lost already if what this country wants and responds to is just some slick huckster who will tell them what they want to hear at the moment, and turn around to something else a few months (or days) later.

Wake UP people, for the love of all that is true!!

Everybody is ‘interpreting’ this scandal in a way that defends their own chosen candidate.
How do you know that the Cruz team/supporters didn’t subconsciously or intentionally see the message they wanted to see and acted accordingly? You simply blame it entirely on CNN,
AND, CNN simply blames it on team Carson’s own messy ‘message’....
We all think candidates tell people what they want to hear and then do something different once elected - how then do you know that Cruz is not doing the same thing that you are accusing Trump of? Rubio has already proven to be such a candidate (lied his way into the Senate then reversed course..)
I think we all should use our own judgement to weigh the pros and cons and choose the candidate we judge to be the one who will do most good.

Had to search for it. Local news here in the Dallas area have been showing that CNN clip so I knew it was out there somewhere. I’ll see if I can find a news clip and post it here.

This page, while trying to defend CNN, has a video of CNN reporting about Carson about 1/3 of the way down. Certainly sounds like he was dropping out and that an announcement was coming soon.
