"Cruz Iowa staffer Spence Rogers sent precinct captains an email during the caucus hinting that Carson planned to leave the race, despite the fact that Carson's campaign said he would continue.
"Breaking News. The press is reporting that Dr. Ben Carson is taking time off from the campaign trail after Iowa and making a big announcement next week," the email, acquired by CNN, read. "Please inform any Carson caucus goers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted Cruz."
Meanwhile, Cruz surrogate Iowa Rep. Steve King told followers on Twitter that "Carson looks like he is out."
Carson told Fox News his wife, Candy, had to correct the misinformation at one event.
"She spoke at one of the caucus sites and before she got there one of the Cruz people had again disseminated that information to the crowd," he said. "And one of the organizers told her 'I'm so glad you're here, so you could set the record straight.' And she did and we actually won in that precinct."
Carson's campaign was furious when they first learned of the tactic, and Carson decried it as a "dirty trick" during remarks Monday night at a party with supporters in West Des Moines.
"This is really a dirty trick," Carson said. "This makes me more determined than ever to keep going."
Cruz's campaign defended the Rogers message to the precinct captains.
"Carson said he was taking time off to go home. We simply repeated what he said," Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said Monday. "Our email simply stated the facts."
When asked what the "big announcement" mentioned in the email referred to, Frazier did not respond."

BS!!!
He sent an e-mail all right, but never said he was leaving the race just that he might. This was all caused by Carson himself saying he was leaving Iowa to go to Florida.. CNN stated that Carson was leaving the race to go to Florida and Not NH an South Carolina, and going to Washington DC to the Prayer Breakfast.. That report right there told me that Dr. Carson was leaving the race.. Now if your really really dumb then I guess you could come up with 2 and 2 = 5. But the way it sounded to me was Ben was quitting.. He had already lost his campaign manager and 20 staffers.. So don’t give me anymore of your holy than though about this. Trump did way more to him than Cruz could ever do.. By the way there has been no one come forward and said their vote was stolen.. Which you can’t do in a caucus anyway...

I don’t need Hillary to admit she’s a socialist and I don’t need to wait on Carson to be honest and admit he’s toast! If he valued his supporters he be gone!
