I know there are some of you who are willing to do what it takes to win but you want to make sure you do so with character and integrity. There's a line you don't want to cross. You are fine going up to that line and doing whatever you can that is within bounds but you don't want to cross that line and I am totally with you on that.
I am going to walk you through this faux outrage story regarding Ben Carson and Ted Cruz. I'm going to walk you through a timeline but before I do, I need to make sure you know what life is like at an Iowa Caucus. I'm on Team Cruz. I was one of the precinct captains in one of the larger precincts in Central Iowa...

On what?
I bet you weren't. See #97. GOTCHA! :-D
CNN in defending themselves says Cruz is full of Crap.
The lib network said he was going home for clothes, and never said he was suspending.
But, Cruz says if CNN said it he could run with it?
Not in my book, I am sure Cruz has Ben’s campaign manager’s or Dr. Carson’s phone number on speed dial.
Cruz believes everything he hears on the networks? If so he just disqualified himself from higher office.
Reagan who Cruz says is his IDOL, Reagan said “Trust but Verify”.
A one minute phone call would have disproved Carson was suspending and cleared up Dr. Carsons plan to stay in the race. When a candidate suspends they hold a press conference to thank supporters, Cruz used this a a planned dirty trick Cruz had printed handbills made up. If Carson just announce it how did Ted turn around printing handbills so fast?
No, this was a planned way to mislead people right inside the caucus sites. For Mr. Moral Christian, what does bearing false witness mean? Nothing apparently.
You know what... don’t play games.
You were singing Roberts’ praises (See Post #97)... along with everyone else.
Let me guess... are you going to deny it?
What???????? I swear that must have been someone else. I was hacked. I thought I was against him. Does that mean I really support Cruz???????? Lord help me.
You’ll see.
Oh no! :)
Carson did indeed make a big announcement today he is laying off 50 people from his mismanaged campaign, that is 40% of his staff a few weeks before Super Tuesday, he has run through 55M somehow.
The other campaigns knew this, perhaps the story was lwaked by a disgruntled staffer about to get the AX.
Trump does vicious, unprovoked attacks against Carson and now is worried Carson being ‘disrepcted’? What a tool this clown is.
Nicely done with that bit of research.
Oh, how a "delete" feature would've been so helpful, eh?
I hope this article does some good because this is clearly overblown
Here is a key sentence or two
The media gave you a story and you tried to work it to your advantage. Its a competition. We arent playing tiddlywinks.
So what? That tweet is not inaccurate.
The only issue is that the tweeter characterized Carson's R&R as a leave of absence. Even if that characterization was intentional, Carson did not plan to campaign in NH or SC and was, in fact, returning to his home in FL.
There was nothing wrong with telling Iowa caucus voters to not waste their vote on Carson. That's kind of the purpose of a caucus gathering.
Cruz's precinct captains should have advised each precinct captain to also advise their caucus attendees to not waste their votes on Santorum, Huckabee, Rand Paul, Jeb, Rubio or Trump.
Sorry Trumpboners, there's no "there" there.
Thanks. Google’s a powerful beast.
“Truth is, cruz will never be able to shake that sleazy label because, well, he’s sleazy.”
Please, keep harping on this. You’re not hurting Cruz and you’re not helping your guy, so please, keep it up!
Whoops!
Well done, Scooby. :^)
now the facts are out, it is a non-controversy.
Carson, tho has lost my respect for how he responded once made aware it was his campaign that gave cnn his schedule. He insteads throws a trumpertantrum and like a lefty uses his campaigns actions to question Cruz’s Christianity.
Dr Carson needs to run for Senate or the House or even Governor as he’s not ready to run for president
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Do you actually believe that?!?
Interesting.
So CNN still put that story out there even AFTER they had clarification from the Carson camp. Sounds like CNN was playing politics. Surprise, surprise.
This so-called bombshell didn’t get to all precincts, though, because my aunt did not hear this message or rumor at her caucus. She is for Rubio, and I think she said her caucus was largely for Rubio.
“The stories that say Cruz only needed 4 votes per precinct to get the numbers he ended up with.”
You mean the same stories that failed to find a single Carson voter who actually was influenced by any of this? Those stories?
Have you read the article. He lays out the entire timeline with links to all the tweets.
