Amazing how people bury their heads in sand to ignore the enormity of what Ted did. He sacrificed “principled” on the altar of wining. That is status quo gutter politics. It’s not principled or honorable.
“Carson dropping out” was a lie that even Ted admitted to, and apologized for. Ted actually said “that was our mistake” [the assumption/lie that Carson was dropping out] and that his team should have contacted Carson.
Say what you want about Trump but he didn’t pull dirty crap on caucus night when votes were being counted. Ted Cruz, the “principled” conservative did that.
I think Trump was actually stunned as how dirty it was. His after caucus speech was very nice. He congratulated Ted. He seemed very happy and so did his family. That was before he heard about Ted’s dirty tricks.

I would have happily voted for Ted as the nominee because I actually thought he was principled and honorable. But now voting for Ted as the nominee will be just another “cream of the crap” vote for me.
Ted didn’t do anything. What his campaign did was pass on a news story from CNN. It’s Friday. Carson has not shown up in either New Hampshire or South Carolina yet. He hasn’t even bothered to send his empty campaign bus into either state to drive around like he’s done much of the campaign. CNN’s news story was accurate.
