Is there an interview with Carson where he was asked if he intended to drop out of the race? If so, do you have a link?

Thanks!

As far as I can see, all the Cruz camp said was that Carson wouldn’t be campaigning in NH and SC so his supporters should think about supporting somebody they know will be in for the long haul. It doesn’t even really matter if he was getting out of the race right now; if he’s not going to campaign in the states needed to meet the expectations that he told Hannity (if he doesn’t win the first couple primaries he will quit) then it’s just a matter of time before he quits and his supporters have probably been wrestling for a long time with whether to stick with him or vote for somebody who would continue.

Really? Go look at the tape. If you want to play lawyer nobody has the time. Go play your ends justifies the means somewhere else.

The lie was that Carson was quitting the race and to get people to switch to him.

Again, show me where Ted Cruz said this. Let's see the quote from Cruz.

You sound like a Hillary supporter. Are we going to parse words for the next 4 years? Go look for yourself.

If character and honor does not matter to his followers it says as much about them as him. He lied and supported it. Anything that has his official title is his statements and that one about telling supporters to switch was on his heading.

Every statement out of his campaign that night was approved by him. Every statement including the one about a meeting coming up which was a lie. He either wrote it or approved of it or does the buck stop somewhere else?

Compare that with Trump who actually is a Hillary supporter.

Words would have to be posted first before they can be parsed. And noticeably lacking is any statement by Cruz that could be considered a lie. It makes for a pathetically weak case.


Go look for yourself.

Now that sounds like something a liberal would say, and a lazy one at that. You are really asking me to provide your evidence for you? Pathetic.


He lied and supported it.

Again, show me the lie. What was his exact statement?

Are you an attorney? If you cannot find the lie that is your problem. As a Christian I expect more and set the bar a lot higher than he does.

This has nothing to do with Trump, it has to do with fabricating a story that Carson was quitting when he was not. In my book that is a lie, in yours it is not.

I expect way more from Christians which is what he professes to be and will see if he does anything about it. He should at least forfeit Iowa.

In all reality, Carson did drop out Monday night. The only thing missing are the actual words from his own mouth.

CNN has it I think.....you might check their videos, but I can’t recall if Carson was over the phone or there on site. There is a manuscript though.

It's your credibility that is at stake here, not mine. You are the one making the claim, remember? As for finding the lie, I do not feel compelled to waste time looking for something that does not exist.
