Are you disgusted with the crap Team Cruz pulled on caucus night?? Or is that what a “principled” politician looks like to you?

If you won’t answer neither will I.

In regard to the Cruz campaign emails and tweets?

Carson's campaign cited an email Cruz's campaign sent to their supporters that read, "The press is reporting that Dr. Ben Carson is taking time off from the campaign trail after Iowa and making a big announcement next week. Please inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted Cruz."

However, that information originally came from CNN and I think MSNBC who also speculated that Carson's own announcement that he was leaving Iowa (even before the voting was over) and heading back to Florida for a "Change of Clothes" and some R&R might be an indication that he was dropping out and also CNN's Chris Moody's tweets.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/02/02/20/30D1CF3F00000578-3427846-This_tweet_from_a_CNN_reporter_sent_at_6_43_pm_Iowa_time_set_off-a-32_1454443729740.jpg

Saying that Carson was taking time off the campaign trail after Iowa was not at all untruthful as it was and is the truth. If Cruz's campaign had announced the same thing, I'm sure Trump would have been all over Twitter announcing that Cruz was dropping out (and probably calling him a big LOSER!). That's politics. It is a rough sport.

In all honesty Steve King's tweets saying that Carson was dropping out was a stretch and IMO, bad judgement on his part.

However, if one looks at Ben Carson's own website under Events, note that there are only 3 events listed, and all three very small events and all in CA, all small "grassroots organizational meetings." and nary even one event listed for NH or SC. That doesn't look like someone in the race. I predict that Carson will drop out in the next two weeks, and not because of "dirty tricks" but because Carson has run a poor campaign and is bleeding cash and campaign staffers. Take that for what it is worth.

Now the ball is in your court.

Were you disgusted when Trump compared Carson to a pathological pedophile and suggested that the only cure for people like Carson was the death penalty or castration?

Were you disgusted when Trump said Carson was "perhaps" a doctor and just an "OK" doctor?
