Carson only ever led in a handful of precincts early on anyway and most of his voters went in knowing it was hopeless.

One of my friends said she went in to vote for Carson but switched to Cruz without anyone ever mentioning anything about Carson dropping out. Carson didn’t even have a precinct captain where she was.

LOL....right. Kind of like CRuzervative Review and The Federalist are paid misinformation sites, all in for CRuz?

FYI...CTH has been around a LOT longer than the recent/new CRuz arms, er, sites have...and sundance has done great work in exposing the whole BLM/Trayvon lies that the MSM pushes, as well as other issues...since 2011.

Yes there is a big difference.... Slandering an opponent by Ducking Donald is okay, staff of Cruz Campaign caucusing for their candidate is bad..got it!

I don’t get it. Politicians do stuff like this all the time. Cruz is a politician. Politics is rough. End of story.

Carson laid back 40% of his staff today and hasn’t been to NH yet days before the primary.

If it walks like a duck and quacks........ It looks a lot like a suspended campaign.

I’m talking about presidential campaigns in Iowa on caucus night, GeronL.

I am obviously not talking about internet websites in general.

NICE DUCK!

quack, quack

A guy was in jail and he was put in a cell with Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz asked him what he was in for and the man admitted it was murder.

The accused murderer then asked Cruz what he was in for.

“I am accused of committing politics. CNN announced something the Carson campaign had said and my supporters and staff told people about it.”

The murderer edged away from the Senator and said, “You stay over there and leave me alone, you hear?”

Yeah that makes lying gutter politics on caucus night when votes were being counted ok. Especially when it’s the “principled” conservative that does it.

Wow.

If you can’t take primary politics then get out of the race. Besides, this is all INFO that CNN reported and never disputed by the Carson people.

It’s called POLITICS! Get over it.

Has Carson formally announced he’s out?

Not that I’ve heard. And, until then...it’s HIGHLY unethical for any campaign to market votes, in a primary/election/caucus, off of that misinformation.

Then who told Ted and Marco that Carson WAS dropping out and that his voters should support them?

Why didn’t either one of them bother to call Ben and ask him if he was dropping out before they lied to his voters?

Why didn’t they do that?

Because they didn’t want to.

Everyone needs to know that Cruz is a lying slime ball.

That is why many, if not all, politicians are viewed as slimy and untrustworthy.

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are politicians of that nature.

Please provide a link to prove that the Trump campaign is paying The ConservativeTreehouse.

Trump “warning” people that the democrats will sue to keep Ted Cruz off the ballot.

Milwaukee Sheriff Clarke says Ben Carson needs to suck it up because politics is a bloodsport.
