With some groups of people it comes down to this. Next will it be racism? He shouldn’t have abandoned Iowa for a vacation. His actions betrayed his words.

Definitely not presidential material for the world as it is now. I’m having more than a few doubts about The Donald too.

To both of them, you got beaten by a wiley guy, get over it. If you don’t like the caucus system go after that next time.

Cruz has some significant sins: TPA, Corker Nuke, H1B, BigBrother Knows Your Voting Mailer.

Somehow I think Carson was fibbing when he accepted Cruz’s apology.

Thanks to their recent acts on Carson and whatever negative perceptions that formed as a result, what are the chances "Ted Cruz for President" wins over the average black voter, evangelical or otherwise, now?

Does Ted Cruz have a lot of cred with that voter to fall back on that would take some of the sting out and keep the love alive?

One of the talking heads should ask the question - How much of Rubio’s UNEXPECTED bump could be attributed to HIS staff’s pushing the Carson story?

>>Expect him to go to the RNC for a ruling.<<

Ain't gonna happen. This rumor was first placed out there by CNN. Someone in the Rubio camp tweeted it an hour before Steve King sent out his tweet.

All a misunderstanding that began feeding on itself. The results of Iowa are in, they will remain just as they are.

There would be absolutely no way in hades Trump nor Carson would ever prove this was anything other than a misunderstanding with roots from a CNN report.

Still no campaign events on Carson’s website and he’s reported to be cutting staff.

Yeah. The article says Carson is going nuclear.

Seems to me that it must be hard as hell to go nuclear when all you have is 3 firecrackers left over from New Years.

Also seems funny that Carson is the alleged victim here, yet it is Trump who wants to sue Cruz.

Ted Cruz kind of gives me hope that he can beat that b*tch in November. I MEAN DOES ANYONE REALLY THINK WE CAN BEAT HER FAIR AND SQUARE? Give me a break. My only hope is that he plays nasty with her and hits as hard as that buck-tooth varmint does. She and her husband have made all of our lives a living hell. As far as I am concerned he can wage nuclear war against that hell b*itch. THERE IS NO PLAYING FAIR WITH THE CLINTONS.

Carson is clearly on his way out. But an awful lot of people liked and respected him even if they supported other candidates. He had the highest favorables in the entire field.

Ticking him off likely means that when he exits, he will throw his support (which is an order of magnitude greater than someone like Santorum's) to either Trump or Rubio, who is also a religious guy. This is mistake that could really cost Cruz

Hard to say...it depends on whether HE wants to win.

I think GWBush actually wanted to win...the Florida recount proves that.

McCain, Romney, and Dole didn’t give a rip whether they won or not.

His funding isn’t the only problem...the guy is getting out just like what was reported a few days ago:

this entire story is silly....He’s fine with being called a crazy pedophile yet gets mad when people run with a story from CNN.

My thoughts exactly.

Trump could label Carson a serial crazed multi-murderer who excised victims' brains from their skulls...and Carson would STILL have his eye on the prize of Cruz firing a SINGLE staffer over a rumor he uttered...while giving Trump a free pass just like he's been giving Rubio a free pass over the same issue (multiple Rubio staffers, said Rush yesterday, were engaged in the rumor-mongering).

Hey. Ya gotta be crass & exploit EVERY opening on the front-runner that you can, ya know!

Hey, I've gone & personally heard Carson speak. And gave him a fair hearing, considering my support. So, I respect the man. I respect his morality. I respect his efforts in this campaign. (Although I don't respect some of his "no-hell" theological positions, etc.)

But the man has simply rec'd VERY BAD political counsel from his team...his inexperienced political shorts are showing.

“This is the most publicity Carson has gotten since Trump called him a child molester.”

That is a lie.

Chertoff was an advisor to Romney.Didn’t help him beat Obama.

But it was close.
