About the polls. During the last week, Cruz shifted advertising in Iowa to attack Rubio. At the time, the Trump supporters said that Cruz realized he’d lost to Trump and was fighting for 2nd. In reality what happened was that HIS CAMPAIGN almost certainly had internal polls showing him that Rubio was moving up and he took a strategic change in direction to blunt the move.
That’s what competent campaigns do. No cheating involved in the Iowa result, just the actions of a campaign that actually has a clue.
The fact that Carson continues to cut staff (most of them moving to Cruz) and that the money guys are dumping him for Cruz makes me think Cruz’s organization probably knows more about Carson’s campaign (or lack therof) than Carson does. I wonder if he intended to dump the campaign and is now continuing things just for the sake of his little snit? Certainly, he’s not angry enough to blame HIS staff for talking out of turn to CNN. Nor is he angry enough at himself for running a campaign where him being crazy/stupid enough to drop out the night of the caucus is entirely believable to most observers.
As of last night Carson still isn’t in New Hampshire and has cut another 40% of his staff. Again, I wonder if he never had any plans to end up in New Hampshire and is only continuing the charade to give credence to his “anger”
If his campaign is competent, let us watch and see how it performs in NH.
Dr Carson is a very good man of solid character. He will not spread any rumors about other candidates, bank on it. Only sleazy career politicians resort to such methods.
