Sure, tell people to switch their votes based on a 'LIE'!
It's called deceit!
This type of thinking belongs in the Democrat party.
I have lost my respect for Ted Cruz!
Have you read the article, it has a very detailed timeline of what the Cruz campaign sent out and when? At the time that the Cruz campaign was communitcating with their caucus captains CNN was still actively reporting that Carson was going home to FL and not continuing on to NH and SC but would instead attend a prayer breakfast in DC later this week. CNN’s anchors commented that this was a very significant story and that this was not the behavior of someone who was seriously running for president. This was not a lie since the Cruz campaign thought they simply were informing the voters of breaking news.
OK, obviously you have a reading comprehension difficulty or other disability. Please explain again, what is the lie?
Is Carson campaigning in New Hampshire or South Carolina?
Did Carson take a few days off from his campaigning?
Did Carson lay off a good chunk of his campaign staff and slash salaries of other staffers today?
Gee, based on that - it kinda does sound like voting for Carson in Iowa was a wasted vote!
Look, I do hold the Cruz staffers accountable for their actions on Monday night.
They should have been telling anyone who would listen that voting for Trump in Iowa was a wasted vote!!!
A caucus is very different than an election. For one, it’s run by the state party (GOP or Dem), not the state of Iowa itself.
Second, a caucus runs on persuasion and voluntary changing of positions, either because a candidate falls below a specific level of support (such as 15%) or because people who speak for each candidate have persuaded others to shift their caucus votes. That’s why it can take a couple of hours.
My apologies if you already knew this, but this is not like electioneering or other shenanigans at a polling place.
