You can create all the timelines you want. The Cruzers took “flying to FL” and turned it into “Carson is quitting”. Then they belatedly apologized, then doubled down that they did nothing wrong. Combined with their sleazy, dishonest flyers they show Cruz to be the a**hole so many people who know him closely say he is. Cruz was one of my top choices before Trump got in, and I still wanted him to be AG or SCOTUS justice at some point. But I like him less and less as this goes on.
Shows how little you know about what happened. Cruz did not apologize for forwarding the story the Carson campaign gave to CNN (and then tried to take back later), but rather Cruz apologized on behalf of his campaign for not being quicker about clarifying the CNN clarification that came later.
Who said Carson was quitting?
It’s ok, I know you won’t tell me. I keep asking and I get attacked. Every. Time.
Just a little aside----Ben Carson's wife was at an Iowa caucus when Cruz/s desperate trick to get votes was in play. She asked if she could speak on the subject....she told the caucus goers none of it was true....Carson was still running. Incidentally, Carson won that caucus.
=================================================
Greta V/S is not a Carson supporter.....but she went ballistic when she reported on the Cruz campaign/s intellectually facile response to his critics. ...claiming they used Carson/s own resignations words....when no such words exist.
=====================================
.....reports indicate that the schemers who did this were hired PRECISELY by Cruz b/c they did it before. That Cruz keeps them on his payroll, suggests the report is accurate.
Nice take. The evidence is all there for a criminal complaint. Cruz was caught w/ his pants down. Cruz had victory without triumph.
=========================================
Karl Rove, not a Trump fan by any means, explained how the Cruz cheating could have cost Donald the election.
The Cruz Campaign tweeted: Press says Carson is going to take a break...... so tell all the Carson people to campaign with Cruz.
But Rove explains that at 7:53 the Carson people send out a release saying, We/re here. We/re staying in the race. We/re going to New Hampshire and South Carolina.
And at 8:20 Cruz campaign chief Steve King tweets deceptively: It looks like Carson is getting out of the race...... knowing full well this was inaccurate.
Cruz characteristically lies.....said we sent it to our team, insinuating this had to do with sending it out to staff members.
W-r-o-n-g...says Rove. The Cruz team sent this to nearly 1,500 Cruz precinct captains.
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.
