The actions of Ted "Nixon" Cruz contradict both claims.
Note also he apologized without holding his staff accountable. I've come to believe he knew about the mailer. Knew about the text indicating Carson was dropping out. This man has situational ethics.
A number of his staff left before the Iowa election. They accused him of being a phony. I discounted it at the time. Now I understand what they said they witnessed.
Although Reagan is who he mimics verbally, Nixon is his role model on action.
Hows the weather out there in la la land?
A lot of Carsons staff left around the 10th of January, too. Does that make Carson a phony, too? —Or just a sad loser who had not the firt idea of how to run a campaign. Also, where were Carsons staff when that story was circulating? No one there disputed it? I guess they must have believed it too considering Carsons’ past actions
