What I think is that they endeavored to hurt his campaign in order to help their own.
CNN never said Carson is going to drop out, so Carson’s voters should support Cruz and Rubio.
Cruz and Rubio did that all on their own.
Neither voice mail said anything about dropping out. This is completely consistent with what Cruz said happened, it’s consistent with what was reported, and it most likely reflects the truth. Carson, whatever he calls it, is not campaigning, is not serious about winning, and people are wasting their votes on him.
The voice mails never said he was dropping out.
