Where was Ted Cruz when the messages started coming out from his camp about Carson dropping out? Standing next to me!

Your friend would be not telling the truth. First Paul spoke, Cruz spoke, Frank Fiorina spoke, and others. Paul was wearing a suit and a full length black, wool-cashmere blend topcoat and a very colorful scarf. He made eye contact but did not say hello. He was immediately approached by his supporters that he knew by name.

I can see your point. It is almost unheard of for a candidate to be checking his smart phone in the middle of a campaign. You got him Columbo!

I’m searching for pictures of Ted at a precinct before voting. I may be wrong; but I want to find a picture.
You are correct; he wouldn’t have been at both places.

Well, if SNL says something it must be true. By the way, I can see Iowa from my front porch here in KY. Sarcasm, perhaps?

Did not see a phone but figured it out later it was there, and even knew the conversation on it. How about the name of the person he was talking to? Figured that out also? I am not much of a believer in the Gospel According to Assumption.

Good grief.

A man stands next to you, his head bowed, quietly waiting his turn to speak.

And you spin it into something nefarious?

Your conclusion is downright strange. Your description of the encounter exonerates Cruz more than it implicates him.

He was campaigning... Which is what Dr. Carson should have been doing the last 4 days.

Cruz probably figured that it was just a black guy so no one would care. Not many blacks in Canada. Now we know why.

Perhaps you would like to enlighten all of us as to what that asinine comment is supposed to mean?

Cruz did not mention Carson to this group of about 200 people, but if he did we all would have remembered and cried foul later on. He would not have taken that chance. Besides these were just 2 precincts in the second largest city in the state. There are 1500 precincts. I know what I saw, and I never said I saw what he was looking at on his device. He did make every effort to make sure I wasn’t looking over his shoulder.

You know you’re right so many are playing for participation ribbons.

Cruz never said “dropping out”, you liar. Cruz’s team tweeted a CNN Headline story. Nothing more. It was Carson’s incompetence that led him to say he was going home. If he didn’t want people think he was leaving, he shouldn’t have said, at that moment, that he was leaving. And again, he was polling at 8.3 pct and finished with 9.1 pct. Basically, nobody let the story affect their vote... and yet liars like you continue to keep this non-story alive.

Amazing. Sarcasm so obvious a caveman would recognize it.

He was kind of cheating, and his staffers have come very close to committing voter fraud. I know what I saw and all it would take is 4 changed minds in 1500 precincts to change who was first.

CNN factchecks CNN. What could go wrong?

The transcript of the CNN report is out there. They reported that “...He’s gonna go there (FL) for several days, and then afterwards he’s not gonna got to South Carolina, he’s not gonna go to New Hampshire... Look. If you want to be President of the United States, you don’t go to Florida. I mean, that’s just bottom line. That’s the end of the story...”

CNN later tried to claim that they said Carson was going to FL rather than going DIRECTLY to NH but as you can see they said he would not be going to NH after Florida. And he didn’t.

So what did Cruz’s people lie about? Quote the lie to me.

Actually, don’t. This is such a waste of time. We’ve got more important things to deal with; I’m not going to be sucked into this distraction all over again.

Carson’s people truthfully told CNN’s people he wasn’t going to campaign in NH. CNN reported it as being “very unusual”, and saying that a person who wants to be POTUS would not do what CArson was doing. Cruz’s people truthfully told their people that the media was reporting that Carson was taking a break from campaigning after the IA caucus. Look at Carson’s official web page at https://www.bencarson.com/events . There are STILL no campaign events listed for ANYWHERE!

Cruz’ team had every intention on capitalizing on an innocent remark by Carson. I would not doubt if CNN was involved as well.

Nobody is paying me. My concern is to preserve life if I can. Your life, my kids’ lives, Carson’s life, Trump’s life, Cruz’s life, Obama’s kids’ lives... Just life. People I don’t want to starve, freeze, dehydrate, or be shot to death if our enemies attack.

I know that seems an impossible stance to some people because they’ve never seen somebody actually care about ALL people, and not just “their guy”...
