"Cruz was doing this from 5pm on down, apparently, after Carson had already denied this claim."

By the standards you apply routinely to Cruz, your statement above is a lie:

 

This image indicates Cruz did NOT say Carson had dropped out, as you said he did. This image shows Cruz citing what CNN had reported, which is apparently factual unless you can prove otherwise. What Cruz did with it in asking his people to use CNN's report to urge Carson supporters to support him is therefore within bounds.

It may be that Cruz' people were saying that Carson had dropped out, but that sounds like the kind of wishful thinking on their part that led you to misinterpret Cruz' message above, the kind of desperate rumor that is very hard for a candidate to control or contain, just as we see you doing here. So unless you can prove Cruz knew CNN made no such report, you don't have any basis for your claim.

So what's it mean when you are telling supporters that you're in for the "long haul" but someone else, by implication, isn't?

How can we find the history of tweets by “Ted Cruz 2016”? That is not Ted Cruz. Cruz’s actual twitter handle is tedcruz@tedcruz. And I think his government twitter handle is tedcruzsenate. I don’t use Twitter and can’t figure out how to find the tweet history of “Ted Cruz 2016”.

That tweet was 33 seconds before 7pm. The image on that tweet is CNN at 6:45, according to the timestamp in the upper left corner of the screen.

I’m not on the email list of any of the candidates. Do we have people here who are on the email list of Cruz’s campaign? If so, did they receive the email that claims to be from Cruz’ campaign?

I need to do some more checking but there seems to be a person involved in shenanigans with this. More later, hopefully.
