It is up to Dr. Carson to decide when his campaign is over, not Ted Cruz and his cultists to decide.

Dr. Carson has a base of supporters all his own, of every race, creed, color.

My sweetie was once a teacher in a Catholic school in Englewood — Chicago. When I read “Gifted Hands” on the flight out to Chicago, i gave him the book to read. He liked it so much that he assigned it to his students. Because the school year was shortened at that point (this was December) he promised his kids that if they got to a particular chapter, that they would be rewarded with a movie and popcorn/pizza party while they watched the movie “Gifted Hands.” He continued using this carrot in his classroom for 4 years, because his students heard about it from their older siblings.

Dr. Carson is a good man, who has done more good for more people than Cruz, Trump, Rubio,Bush, Fiorina, Kasich, Christie, etc have done for anyone. He may not be presidential material, but he deserves far better than the bullcrap from the Cruz bunch. I wonder how many faithful Christians they will be able to bamboozle.

I used to be one of Sen Cruz biggest fans. I’m sad to say I wouldn’t pee on him if he were on fire right in front of me.

Yep, he’s out, he just realized he could take advantage and try to mooch a few more bucks before he officially drops out.

Trump didn’t lie on caucus night. Ted Cruz “the only principled conservative in the race” did that.

It isn’t the first time Jeff Roe has done that, so we know it was deliberate.

Eckersley calls e-mail a hoax, says he’s still in the race (AUDIO)
“You know this is dirty politics. This is Jeff Roe-style management. That’s who Billy’s retained. That’s who he writes the big checks to,” Eckersley tells Missourinet affiliate KTTS. “This is Kansas City management doing what they do best, which is playing dirty.”

They can’t think for themselves, so until the Orange Idol gives them new instructions, they have to keep spinning in place.

If your mom heard a politician deny they’d done anything wrong but then keep apologizing for it, I betcha she’d have asked why.

Cruz can’t stop apologizing because he knows the truth, just as CNN has explained it, and it stinks.

“Carson has quit.”

This is what made Cruz look especially like a vulture sitting atop a carcass.

Carson, in Iowa, was running on fumes, and worse for Carson, a campaign volunteer died on the trail for Carson.

Carson had to stay in for New Hampshire out of respect for his Iowa supporters who got shafted in caucuses.

Dr. Carson appears devastated personally over the fall of his campaign, the death of the boy, and the brutal dirty tricks issued in the caucuses, by Cruz.

No other campaign struck like a serpent. Cruz lies today by skipping over the evidence, plainly exposed by multiple time stamps, on tweets, reports, and LIVE audio messaging.

Cruz supporters know this too.

Cruz was always about beating TRUMP in IOWA, but at any cost.

This would be because Cruz is trying to use CNN as his crutch, his excuse, and they are having none of it.

Think about it. Why would a major new org allow itself to be dragged into actual interference in an election, by claiming a candidate dropped out — when they didn’t? NO NEWS ORGANIZATION that expects to survive does such a dumb thing.

Only a political opponent, who hopes it won’t be caught in the act, tries such a stunt.

Cruz doesn’t give a whip about the media......and needs no crutches. This is being fed by non other then Carson himself.

My mom was a tough cookie.The politicians were terrified of her because she told the truth, no matter what. Last of a dying breed, seems like

I’m glad she was on our side. I wouldn’t have wanted her as an enemy for a million dollars.

She knew they were all on the take. Once in a while she was able to find out their price.

CNN did it for the same reason that Dan Rather lied about Bush's National Guard record: ideology trumping self-interest.

I just love that cover.

It’s how the song should have been done, in the first place, IMO.

And you think CNN learned nothing from that, a dozen years ago, right?

And btw, these things are not the same. We all know that media lies about events, records, ideology.

Cruz is trying to claim that CNN said that a candidate DROPPED OUT OF THE RACE, when the candidate did not.

That swerved past brazen and slipped right into outright lie catagory.

Forget CNN, who will be on the lookout for more Cruz nonsense. You really think the other networks are going to pretend that they didn’t see what he hoped to get away with and blame on them?

LOL

From the mouth of CNN to your mom’s ears...

http://www.snappytv.com/tc/1328020

paraphrased: if a candidate wants to go to the White House they don’t skip NH or SC. Very unusual.

ok, what would your mom say? Rubio’s team reportedly did the same thing. No criticism there.

http://conservativeread.com/rush-limbaugh-drops-a-bombshell-rubio-campaign-to-blame-for-carson-drop-out-rumors/

I wish your mom would do some research for me. Trump gave Cruz’s supporter Steve King funding and a personal cheer. Steve King then supports Cruz. CNN broadcasts DT’s rally within 24 hr notice. CNN gives the above newscast. Steve King tweets msg to Cruz team. Cruz team picks it up, possibly overheard by Rubio’s team saying vote Cruz and away it goes. But who is benefiting? DT + Carson. Just my opinion.
