There is quite literally NO evidence that any Carson voters switched to Cruz, Trump or Rubio as a result of this last-minute appeal.

In watching 50 years of election watching I have never seen a controversy with less substance than this one. What a bunch of crybabies

Whether or not it was effective is not the issue here. The issue is whether it was ethical and moral, especially for a candidate who parades himself around as a devout Christian.

well you are wrong sorry but on Greta’s show there was a named person who did see people change their votes to Cruz.. and even if there were no votes changed,, them attempting to do it is just as bad.. like a bank robber getting caught before he walks away from the teller’s booth.. he’s still just as guilty

LOL I am certain if this had happened to Cruz...and Trump had been the one to state Cruz campaign was suspended, you would be screaming!

You can call Dr. Carson a crybaby if you wish. However, had you watched the video, you would have learned that his wife walked into a precinct after the “word” had gone out from the Cruz campaign. Mrs. Carson was allowed to speak and she refuted the claims that Dr. Carson was suspending his campaign (well of course, she would know...) and Dr. Carson stated that he won that precinct.

I wonder had Mrs. Carson been able to refute the incorrect information that was disseminated to 1500 precincts, perhaps the outcome would have far different.

Just becuasae there is NO evidence that any Carson voters switched to Cruz Trump or Rubio, does not mean they didn’t...And I wonder how many people have actually sought to find out if votes had been switched.

Regardless, it was ethically wrong—and every day more comes out to indicate that. Sorry, but for some of us, it is really hard to stomach when the Cruz campaign infers that they are taking the moral high ground and invoking God’s will, etc...As Dr.Carson stated, there were no consequences for sketchy behavior.

So

If 4 Carson supporters in each of Iowa’s precincts switched their vote to Cruz, they would have accounted for Cruz’s margin of victory. There are 1,681 in Iowa and each of the precinct captains received word that Carson was dropping out and a Carson vote was just as good if it went to Cruz. I think there was a fairly good chance that some of them went to Cruz which accounted for his over-performance. And some of them went to Rubio, which accounted for his over-performance. In short, this dirty trick created havoc in the vote.

I am hoping the controversy means the GOP won’t allow the Dems to cheat this election without some serious hurting.
