Again, what’s your source? Carson was interviewed on Fox this afternoon and said the reorganization was planned. But that was never part of the CNN story nor did I see any mention prior to today. So what’s your source that says he planned to do it prior to Iowa?
Yes, Carson has gone through a lot of money. But as reported earlier, he has one of the highest spend to donation ratio of all the candidates. And I hate to use Bill O’Reilly as a source, but on his Talking Points memo last night, even he said Carson had events scheduled in New Hampshire prior to this dust-up in Iowa and he (Carson) was only in Florida for a day.
I will be the first to admit that Carson has managed to shoot himself in the foot multiple times and it appears he doesn’t have the advisers he needs to mount a national campaign, but this doesn’t address the issue at hand. Did the Cruz campaign purposely lie Monday night in order to pick off votes? It certainly seems like they were quick to put the innuendo out that Carson was through, but can you show me ONE tweet from any Cruz campaign official that says the information was wrong? You can’t have it both ways. The CNN reporter who “broke” the story and who people like Steve King say were the reason they tweeted the information, also tweeted out that Carson was not dropping out. So if they saw one tweet, how come they didn’t see the other?
Lastly, the birther issue is a non-issue and you know it. Trump can call Cruz a Canadian anchor baby all he wants but he is just throwing red meat to his supporters. Most know Cruz is eligible for the presidency, so I’m afraid your analogy is a straw-man argument.
Look, politics IS a rough game and I understand everyone is jockeying for an edge, but where I have a problem is Cruz portrays himself as a Washington outsider who is a man of principal and character. I’m afraid this shows he’s neither.

Well What the hell was Carson going to say? that he was planning to suspend the campaign?
His “reorganization” was gutting his campaign staff when he needs to be fully staffed to compete on Super Tuesday in 1)+ states.
He still hasn’t returned to NH and won’t be in NH until Saturday for the debate.
Taking off the week before a critical primary? Seriously? Gimme a break.
The opportunity for others to exploit his campaign’s problems are HIS FAULT. If this was planned in advanced (not going to NH to take a brief vacation. Why not announce it earlier rather than bolt the state and drop your campaign for a week within hours of the start of the Caucus.
People are working hard and are playing to win. If your campaign is that poorly run it speaks poorly of your ability to lead. HE left others and opening by being stupid and they ran with it.
When we get to the general election you are damn right a want a tough campaign that will take advantage of every opening and exploit every self inflicted wound.
Did you ever hear of Reagan;s campaign manager Lee Atwater? You should look him up he makes Cruz’s guys look like Choirboys.
You think the Chicoms Norks ISIS or Russkies will play nice?
I am especially disappointed by Carson’s reaction to HIS F’up.
