Cruz didn’t “ask” for votes. He told voters, already in caucus with not opportunity to verify, that their candidate was no longer an option therefore vote for him.

It was wrong, he knows it’s wrong, apologized but too little too late. It’s not normal politics, it’s not ok. What would you people have thought if someone interpreted a Cruz comment as he was dropping out and pulled this crap.

I know it’s hard to accept when you’ve backed a liar and cheater but it is what it is.

I know it’s hard to accept that Cruz won Iowa fair and square. But accusations against his character are pure Alinsky. His people made a rational interpretation of Carson’s actions. It is even reasonable under those circumstances to question Carson’s denial and ask for his votes anyway. The only way you get a smoking gun to prove a lie is if you can show the people who relayed the message knew it was false at the time they sent it. When the denial came later, they were free to believe or disbelieve it. At best, all you can show is an error in judgment. I don’t think it was even that. But why are people here so ready to throw a good, honest conservative under the bus for someone like Trump? It really makes no sense to me.

Peace,

The first tweet came from a Rubio supporter at 6:29pm that wasn't even IN Iowa. The man then deleted it but not before others saved it.

6:56 First Cruz Email. Please show me where it states Carson is dropping out.

Carson isn't even holding rallies or really campaigning.

Ben Carson's campaign had a bus driving around for most of 2015 and I thought it was brilliant and clever. They got it all painted up and drove all over the place so people would think Carson was here when he wasn't. They weren't lying to people. The campaign was trying to the best it could with a candidate who wouldn't campaign. You had to get his face out there somehow so they drove around this moving billboard all over the state. That's clever. That's using your resources to maximum advantage. And that's the exact same thing the Ted Cruz campaign did with this caucus story.

The fake Ben Carson controversy should end here and now
