"...from the Ted Cruz campaign, calling to get to a precinct captain, and it has just been announced that Ben Carson is taking a leave of absence from the campaign trail, so it is very important that you tell any Ben Carson voters that for tonight, uh, that they not waste a vote on Ben Carson, and vote for Ted Cruz. He is taking a leave of absence from his campaign. All right? Thank you. Bye."

So what? That tweet is not inaccurate.

The only issue is that the tweeter characterized Carson's R&R as a leave of absence. Even if that characterization was intentional, Carson did not plan to campaign in NH or SC and was, in fact, returning to his home in FL.

There was nothing wrong with telling Iowa caucus voters to not waste their vote on Carson. That's kind of the purpose of a caucus gathering.

Cruz's precinct captains should have advised each precinct captain to also advise their caucus attendees to not waste their votes on Santorum, Huckabee, Rand Paul, Jeb, Rubio or Trump.

Sorry Trumpboners, there's no "there" there.

"There was nothing wrong with telling Iowa caucus voters to not waste their vote on Carson."

Sure, tell people to switch their votes based on a 'LIE'!

It's called deceit!

This type of thinking belongs in the Democrat party.

I have lost my respect for Ted Cruz!
