I’m just curious....
Every campaign probably had people watching CNN, why did no other campaign report on it? Even if and that is a big if they genuinely thought that Carson was dropping out, why didn’t they confirm it with the campaign before they announced to everyone to tell the caucus voters? Candy Carson was at one of them and she had to convince people that he wasn’t dropping out. Why in the heck would she be there if he was dropping out??? Didn’t that give the Cruz campaign some thought that the information they had wasn’t right?
I don’t care what CNN said or didn’t say that made them think that he was dropping out, they should have confirmed it.
I’m tired and hope I worded it properly, but I’m sick and tired of people giving excuses for the “misunderstanding” when no other campaign “misunderstood”.
The other campaigns also spoke about this. You just didn’t hear about it because the goal was to hit Cruz. And that should tell you something too.
And just to correct you and nearly every article I’ve seen about this: the Cruz campaign did NOT say that Carson was dropping out. They either said that he wasn’t going to NH and NC, or that he was taking a break from campaigning after IA or suspending campaigning for a while (all of which were accurate).
One article claimed that everybody knows that suspending a campaign means you’re quitting, but if that was the case Carson had already quit when he suspended his campaign to deal with the death of one of his campaign workers.
The point was that if Carson was not going to campaign, maybe his supporters should consider supporting another conservative who WOULD be campaigning.
Agreed! I wonder why none of the other campaigns “misunderstood”? There is only one answer to that question.
Cruz still wants Carson’s voters and thats why he insisted on the meeting in the closet. Carson is driving a hard bargain and wants someone’s head in exchange for his forgiveness.
