I heard Cruz speak that night, at my caucus. He didn't say anything about Carson getting out, nor did any of his people. I have talked to a lot of friends that also attended their caucus meetings. Again, no one heard anything about this until later, after they got home, or maybe the next day.
It is weird trying to correct an emotion-driven story with facts, when I was actually there, but can't get thru the noise...frustrating...
There was no mention of this at my caucus in suburban Des Moines. I spoke to a person who was Steve King’s caucus. King did not mention the story when he spoke for Cruz, and no one else mentioned it either.
I also spoke to attendees (including Carson and Trump supporters) from Humboldt, Kossuth and Wright counties. No one mentioned the story at their caucuses.
Some people, FReepers included, are knowingly making false claims about this.
Trump’s followers are basing their choice largely on feelings. They hope Trump believes what he is saying. He changes positions faster than impatient drivers change lanes, but they ignore it because they have hope that he will build the wall.
One minute he wants to sue Cruz because he’s not an NBC, the next minute he wants him as a VP. One minute he congratulates his opponent, the next minute he says he was robbed.
Eventually people see through the veneer. Donald Trump is a very expensive empty suit.
