If that had been done to you guys, you’d be miffed, too. Campaigns should know better than to take the word of one news outlet for news like that. Why would anyone quit their campaign when people are in the process of voting, it did not make sense, anyway.

If it was a sincere apology, Cruz would have already fired the staffer
responsible.

Carson may have more to worry about than a little dust up with Edward.

No, moron, Carson would not be responsible for clarifying the Cruz story.

And now it is up to "Evil" status. You're simply an idiot. Tweeting a CNN story, even one with poorly-worded details, is not "evil", nor shall it ever be.

Why did Cruz apologize since he’d already gone record saying nothing wrong was done and no one would be disciplined.

Only politicians apologize just because they think it will make a problem go away without really admitting they did anything wrong. Just listen to Hillary talking about Benghazi.


hmmm... I’m tempted, that word is on the tip of my tongue, can’t help myself, it must be said. Because he is a felis catus.

For what it’s worth, I see no signs of Carson fighting in SC. No radio nor TV ads, nothing in the mail. And I mean nothing at all. So how serious is he, really, especially with that huge war chest he’s mounted.

Cruz is a slimy DC politician weasel. Why he had to push rumors in Iowa to try to get votes from the only African American in the race is a mystery. He probably saw himself losing ground in Iowa and panicked.

If all Canadians treat blacks like Cruz it’s no wonder they don’t want to go there.

We all knew this was not going away.

Following the mailer fiasco with the willingness to play dumb and take votes was a bridge too far for one week in one state and affected too many caucuses, if not all of them, but we will never know, will we?

The problem is there were vague references to Cruz’s likeability previously, but his team of top advisers who know just how much they can get away with haven’t done him any favors. I doubt whether he will be able to shake this off before Super Tuesday especially now that SNL and the other late night comics have picked up on it.

If Carson does not win NH, this is the reason. /s

I'm fully expecting that. He'll get his 3 or 4 percent on Tuesday, and insist that his poor showing was due to the lingering effects of the 'dirty tricks' in Iowa. As someone said in another thread, Dr Carson will still be talking about this 20 years from now... stubbornly insisting that the Presidency of the United States was stolen from him in Iowa.

The is ZERO evidence that this pathetic candidate Carson lost a single vote in Iowa. The dude was polling 7 or 8 percent and got 9 percent. As Bill Clinton said about the Obama campaign eight years ago, 'This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen.'

Was Trump correct? Won’t broach the other accusation!!
