Then the Cruz camp and apparently the Rubio camp put the news out to the caucuses; and why not?
I don’t see anything evil, underhanded, dirty or unscrupulous here. This is a big nothing.
The biggest takeaway is that Carson has somebody on his staff that he shouldn’t have.
Sorry,but to me, it is not what Carson or CNN did. It was what the Cruz campaign chose to do wih the information they received.
In the other Van Susteren interview, the Cruz campaign said the Carson campaign was suspended...that implied it was stopped.
Sorry but my take-away is that the Cruz campaign ran with very loose facts—come on—did you not see Steven King’s tweet?!?!
The Cruz campaign could have and should have confirmed. They chose not to—they took advantage...perhaps not illegal but very bad form. If I had a kid like Cruz or King on my soccer game, they’d get a yellow card at least!
It reminds me of playing cards with someone—maybe someone not as adept (A POLITICAL OUTSIDER) and inadvertently seeing one of their cards and using that info to win the game...may not be illegal...but it was really poor form what the Cruz campaign did in my and many others’ opinion,
Sorry, I have to disagree. I think it was entirely fair and in fact I would say that Cruz was obliged to make it known once CNN broadcast the news. I suppose you could fault the Cruz people for believing ANYTHING sourced from CNN, but that’s another issue entirely.
The Cruz people were totally in the right using this, and so were the Rubio people, even though that story is not getting as much airtime - since the MSM is not interested in harming Rubio.
Look, I LIKE Carson, but this is hurting him more than Cruz, and Trump is looking like a total loser.
Responsibility for the entire fiasco rests entirely on the Carson staff.
