"After all the candidates worked so hard, and Dr. Ben Carson had a staff member lose his life working towards this day, to have someone like Cruz and his people deceive and spread falsehoods is unconscionable," Williams said.
Carson is right to be furious. I would be too. Who wouldn't be? There's no telling how many votes the Cruz campaign illicitly sucked up using this tactic but I can nearly guarantee it's more than none.
Cruz's apology was insufficient, IMHO. It was after the fact, after the votes were counted and most importantly it didn't include the phrase '...and I fired every single operative involved in this shameful deception.'
And why, pray tell, do you assume that any of the idiots who believed it voted for Cruz? It’s just as likely that their votes would go to another outsider, i.e., Trump.
And what is your opinion on Rubio? He had his people out ssaying the same thing half an hour before Cruz.

Well, let’s not get TOO firm on our positions and promises...right?
CNN won't let Cruz fire their reporters.
Was it 26% of Carson's votes? Because that's what it would take to make Cruz not the winner. And the lying Rubio shill Karl Rove is out there saying this is possible, a total lie.
If there was anything you could say to make 26% of a candidate's voters immediately switch to your side, it would be being done by everybody in every election.
