Carson says an apologetic Cruz asked for a meeting at debate (busTED)
Washington Post ^ | 2/7/16 | Robert Costa

Posted on 02/07/2016 7:57:55 AM PST by patq

Ben Carson said late Saturday that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas approached him during an off-camera break at ABC’s Republican debate to apologize for his campaign’s conduct during the Iowa caucuses and requested a one-on-one meeting with him.

“He said he’s sorry that this happened and he wants to sit down and talk,” Carson said in an interview with The Washington Post. “He wants to discuss the whole thing and clear the air.”

In the interview, Carson said pointedly that if the meeting with Cruz is scheduled, that does not mean the the senator will be absolved.

“The evidence is there,” he said, citing voice-mails that his campaign has released of Cruz allies telling caucus-goers that Carson was likely to suspend his bid. “Tapes, written communications, it’s all out there. People have to decide whether this kind of behavior is acceptable to them.”

Not to go off course but was speaking to my old Master Chief friday and said how many missions did you run?

He said 28, that conservatively runs to 6 years Under the sea.

I know he did 7.

As long as he destroys Cruz I am cool with it. Cruz is not a good person. His win at all cost is disgusting. And worse the fact that he has wanted to be President since birth is weird. Reminds me of Bill Clinton.

it’s funny how people want to shift blame to ANYONE BUT THE GUY WHO ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING, because they want to elect the guy who actually did something president.

What a bunch of hypocrites.

but the blame goes to the Carson team

Has Dr. Carson ever explained why his on the scene campaign team did not correct the information themselves. He said that his wife did this where she was located, but obviously no one else made any effort. Does he expect the other candidates to look out for his interest. Does his supporters take the word of an opponent and immediately jump ship or do they act reasonably and call the campaign for clarification. The more he pushes this issue, the more disorganized his campaign appears. If he gets the nomination, I sure hope he doesn't go into the general election with this naive approach.
