What matters is who the slimeballs spreading the lie at the last minute were working for. I wasn't prepared to cast any blame on Cruz himself until I heard that he gave the go ahead to spread the lie and that following the disclosure of the dirty trick he failed to take any action within his campaign.
Apparently Cruz was counting on idiots believing it. His own camp said to get the word out and try to persuade Carson voters to change.
Now WHY would they do that if they didn’t think Iowa voters were dumb enough to buy it?
“...Cruz himself...gave the go ahead to spread the lie...”
So you’re saying that Cruz told his volunteers to lie? BS!
If you were running and found out that one of your opponents was leaving Iowa before the caucus, going to Florida, and wasn’t going to New Hampshire or South Carolina, what would you conclude?
Yeah, I know, you’d conclude that Ted Cruz had a secret loan with Goldman Sachs. Your tin hat is leaking.
