So, in essence, you are making the argument that Cruze is not Christ.
We are in complete agreement.
No, I'm making the argument that Cruz is just another political hack. Both he and Rubio participated in this and it's beyond shameful.
Put Trump aside for a moment, Cruz & Rubio didn't give Carson a thought before they pulled this. Carson was looking forward to caucus, kept saying he'd do well. That opportunity, to do well and get that bump is gone. The one caucus where Mrs. Carson walked in to find her husband was supposedly out of the race went big for Carson when they learned he was still in.
Thanks to a couple of junior senators and their political ambitions, we'll never know.
