Carson calls for Cruz camp dismissals after cheating allegations
Politico ^ | 02/02/2016 | Nolan McCaskill

Posted on 02/02/2016 7:52:31 AM PST by GIdget2004

Ben Carson is calling on Ted Cruz to fire anybody on his campaign allegedly involved in spreading the misinformation that the retired neurosurgeon had suspended his campaign before the Iowa caucuses.

"If Ted Cruz doesn't know about this, then he clearly needs to very quickly get rid of some people in his organization," Carson told "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday. "And if he does know about it, isn't this the exact kind of thing that the American people are tired of? Why would we want to continue that kind of, you know, shenanigans?"

Hey, Dummy (Carson, not you): You announce you’re going home in the middle of the caucus. Then you’re going to complain when people report that you’re not “in it for the long haul?”

That’s not Cruz’ fault. It’s not even his campaign VOLUNTEERS’ fault. (You want him to fire his Iowa precinct captain AFTER the caucus is over?)

Carson is right - Cruz is turning out to be a status quo politician pulling status quo crap like that and the mailer he sent out.

Don't hold your breath Dr. Carson this is Cruz's second Clinton move to do anything to win

Sad thing 1 Super Delegate has more votes than Cruz won last night and it not going to Ted, right Linda.

See You in New Hampshire Ted.

Can’t refute it so you make it about me. It is NOT about me. It is about the status quo political crap Cruz is pulling.

What really needs to happen is Carson needs to really drop out.

Carson should have chosen his words more carefully or kept his mouth shut.

He should have known better [to quote a breaking news headline without calling Carson], if true, or his staff should have...STEVE KING should have. But maybe not since back in July he was a Trump supporter and Palin hit him hard when he comes out for Cruz and then he tweets about Carson being out. Hmmmm.

Nothing is Cruz’s fault! These things just happen when you have a lot of really enthusiastic people who really, really, really want to win in the worst way.

It doesn’t matter who you support in this election that’s not right what the Cruz people did to Carson.

Status quo would imply other politicians routinely send out mailers like that.

Or do you lie?

Sad that you attack Dr. Carson for what Ted did. Carson said over and over people were really going to be shocked at his Iowa numbers. Cruz knew that from internals so when he got a chance to spin Carson’s comment he did.

And he had his people in an active caucus put out lies. Trump is right, Cruz is nasty. Just another career politician pulling dirty tricks to win.

Isn’t it the candidate prerogative to announce he is dropping out? I think telling people right before they vote that their candidate says he is dropping out is pretty low.
