Seriously?
They’ve been ALL over these boards, and elsewhere....for days.
Since you’re too lazy to look up the threads yourself.......scroll through...you’ll see what CNN said and what CRuz camp tweeted/sent as voicemails.

The night of the caucuses, the Cruz campaign called and sent messages to Iowa precinct captains suggesting that Carson could drop out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. The messages told the precinct captains that they should encourage people to caucus for Cruz instead.

Even CRuz went through it, at the debate, last night. Where have you been? Just Google “cruz apologizes to carson at debate” and you’ll get over 3M hits.
Sigh. You want to call Cruz a liar but I’m the one who is supposed to substantiate your claims. Sheesh.
From http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/02/04/ted-cruz-voicemails-ben-carson-exclusive-audio/ One voicemail:
“[inaudible]…from the Ted Cruz campaign, calling to get to a precinct captain, and it has just been announced that Ben Carson is taking a leave of absence from the campaign trail, so it is very important that you tell any Ben Carson voters that for tonight, uh, that they not waste a vote on Ben Carson, and vote for Ted Cruz. He is taking a leave of absence from his campaign. All right? Thank you. Bye.”
What is false? Carson is not campaigning.
Other voicemail:
“Hello, this is the Cruz campaign with breaking news: Dr. Ben Carson will be [garbled] suspending campaigning following tonight’s caucuses. Please inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted instead. Thank you. Good night.”
Again, given that CArson has no campaign events listed on his website and told CNN he wouldn’t go to NH or SC, and told Hannity that if he didn’t win the first couple primaries he would quit.... what exactly is the lie?
The calls should have clarified that it was a CNN report announcing Carson’s lack of campaigning, rather than the CArson camp directly - although CNN got the announcement from the Carson camp...
Keep in mind that Carson had already suspended his campaign once, to tend to his team after one was killed in a car crash. Suspending campaigning is not the same thing as totally quitting, as Carson’s people had already seen. In fact, had Carson ever re-started his campaigning after having suspended it?
CArson’s people SHOULD be thinking about what to do, given that their candidate is not really trying to win. If they really care about the outcome of this election they would want to know that Carson wasn’t intending to actually try to win.
Seems like what he’s most interested in right now is b!tching, and that turns me off of him, even though I have defended him and spoken well of him.
I should not have responded here after saying I was going to drop this. This is distracting from much more important things. No more.
