Now why does that matter? The gap between Trump and Cruz is 6,239 votes. There are 1,500 precincts. Do the math. If that message cost Carson four votes per precinct to switch to Cruz, then Cruz beats Trump. If opportunistic Cruz hadn/t manipulated those four votes, he/d be the loser.

Typical three-card monte from Rove. How did he come up with 4 votes per precinct as a plausible number? Why not 14? Or 24? Maybe the Cruz folks flipped 34 gullible Carson supporters per precinct. Who knows? Without this trickery, perhaps Carson would have received 36% of the vote in Iowa and vanquished the entire field. Or better yet maybe every Republican in Iowa had intended to vote for Carson, and 114 per percent were duped. There's just as much evidence for 114 as there is for 4.

Of course, the true number of duped Carson supporters stands at 0 per precinct. Here we are five days later, and not a SINGLE Iowan has come forward to say, 'Hey, I walked into that caucus to vote for Carson, and those nasty Cruz supporters tricked me into changing my vote." Not a single one.

Not that many people like to admit to being duped.

And even fewer like to announce who they voted for.

I posted more or less the same thing directly after Rove first talked about this on BOR a couple of nights ago - to no avail.

Sorry to say, Rove has somehow convinced some that the Cruz camp managed to switch 4 Carson voters x 1500 precincts.

It couldn’t be more than 4, because then Rove would have to figure out where the other switched votes went to, and that would open a can of worms for someone other than Cruz - and that wouldn’t do because Cruz was the target.

No reasoning, no questioning .. they simply took Rove’s word for it.
