I posted about my caucus elsewhere.
1. One rumor - a candidate was gonna stop, heard that buzz before starting.
2. There were 7 precincts in the room (2k people?)
3. National Anthem, pledge, invocation.
4. 8ish folks spoke for misc candidates
5. Neither Cruz speaker nor Carson speaker talked about this ‘issue’
6. Ted showed up and spoke...way cool.
7. I hung out for a couple hours - most had already gone home, I wanted to get results and such (Ted, Rubio, then Carson/Trump would be the results where I was, across the 7 precincts)
8. I first heard about the CNN report and Cruz staff tweets when I got back home and on FR.
I can’t say that it wasn’t mentioned in the room I was in, but 1) I did hear the one rumor and 2) this wasn’t mentioned.
Carson spoke at my church on Jan 24th. An incredible story, loved to hear him. Was cool to realize that I may have never been in a room with a smarter man before...
Full disclosure - I voted for Cruz at the caucus. And I would do it again if Trump gets his way and we have to re-vote.
I appreciate the fullness of your answer and am glad to hear you did not witness any false narrative arm-twisting of Carson caucus goers.
One more question if you don’t mind...were cell phones working in the building where you were and if so were folks using them during the caucus?
