"There was a political play there and it didnt work for them, a Republican operative close to the campaign told The Daily Beast. The meeting didnt go as well as Cruz wanted it to go. Carson had a smile on his face and was looking right at him."

Personally, it tells me a whole lot more about Carson's faith and personality (vindictive? unforgiving?) than it does about Cruz. Even if Cruz were in the wrong, or Carson considered Cruz's explanation, apology, or recompense inadequate, as a Christian, Carson should have accepted Cruz's apology.

Note to Trump supporters: I said "as a Christian" - that's my perspective. Just because I advocate Christian morals and behavior doesn't "prove" that I'm a Cruz supporter.

I'm consistently Christian BEFORE I'm consistently conservative.

I'm consistently Christian BEFORE I'm consistently conservative.

That is how it should be. That is an admirable statement.

We don't really know what happened, as neither man is saying. All we have are operatives' words and their spin.

Carson has no obligation to Cruz what so ever. Cruz screwed up and he is running a very nasty negative campaign. Carson, Trump, Rubio and Paul have all accused Cruz of lying.

Christians are called to forgive.....
....but they are human and it is harder to forget, takes longer

Christian Corrie ten Boom forgave the abusive German guard at Ravensbruck when she was sent to the concentration camp during the Holocaust......where her sister died.....and at other imprisonment locations her father and newphew died or were killed...

God gave her the strength and courage.....when the guard asked.......to say ..’ I forgive you’......but how can one ever forget the deaths of multiple members of one’s family.

What Cruz or Cruz Team did ......affected the outcome of one state during an election.
....it doesn’t rise to the level of Corrie ten Boom’s loss...

STILL.....an ‘I’m sorry, forgive me’ ...doesn’t rejuvenate a political campaign either ........or bring loved ones back from the dead.

In reading the story, it appears Carson was at peace with the closet outcome.....
carson wasn’t obligated to meet with Ted, but he did.
....but Cruz perhaps wanted more from the experience.....ie, a piblic hug from Carson or public words of solidarity.......and didn’t receive that.

Thise of you who are impugning Carson’t Chritianity should cease and desist.
