Not only that, but Breitbart has audio where the Cruz team went with the scam long after they knew it wasn’t true. Cruz fans feel the more they post this lie, the better chance they have to convince folks.

Original tape exists. CNN can’t really cover their butts on this.

CNN keeps repeating the lie using NY Times, Politifact, Factcheck.org, etc., as proof. Twilight Zone stuff.

CNN never said he was dropping out or suspending his campaign.

Cruz’s campaign said that to voters as they were voting.

Sorry.

I figure he’ll move on to accusing someone of being racist before finally leaving the race.

No, they just said Carson "wasn't going to NH/SC"...

Maybe I’m mean, nasty and awful, but does anybody really care about Carson? He was not capable and had no chance. Cruz really had nothing to do with this and it doesn’t matter anyway. Why does this silly stuff keep appearing on FR?

Just thought as long as it was still making the news, the truth needed to be represented instead of the smear pieces.

I heard the CNN report. My first thought was “Carson is dropping out”.

What Carson did was abysmally stupid. EVERYONE thought he was dropping out.

He won’t, he’ll let Armstrong Do it.

Like telling the press he was going to Floriduh. He didn’t have the guts to admit he was out of money so he let his plebs tell CNN

A week ago, I would have said no, he isn't that kind of man....but after he tried to equate Hillary and Benghazi to Cruz and Iowa, nothing would surprise me now.

That part was made up by Cruz’s team

That part was made up by Jeff Roe of Axiom Strategies who is the sleezeball that Cruz hired to be his campaign director. Cruz is apparently ok with that. This is Cruz's inside the beltway politics as usual.

What it boils down to is that if Cruz wanted to tell people that Carson dropped out, he should have waited until Carson actually dropped out.

But he didn’t wait. He made the leap to something that was never reported and never occurred, and told people during an election something that wasn’t true.

That’s just all there is to it.

If CNN reports "Carson isn't going to NH/SC", you're free to draw your own conclusion.

It's not a stretch...

The only reason you see this noise here is that trump supporters think trump would have won if this didn't happen.

The reality of the situation doesn't seem to matter one bit. They just want to find something to bash Cruz with.

Ideas won't work.
Record won't work.
Knowledge won't work.

So what do they do?
“Cruz is responsible for something that happened without his knowledge!”
“Cruz is (insert childish insults. Ie. Nasty, unlikeable, ugly, oily, ad nauseam)

The only thing that would make them happy is Cruz dropping out and throwing his support behind the NY liberal.

Sure.

Everyone is free to draw their own conclusions.

Even the wrong conclusion.

And everyone is also free to act or not act upon said conclusions.

Caution is wise, because if you draw the wrong conclusion, and then spread that erroneous conclusion to voters while they are voting, and advise those voters to change their vote based upon your erroneous conclusion, and then don’t fire the people involved, you look like Ted Cruz now looks.

Oops.

Don't pretend that this bothered you...
Trump lost - that's what bothers you.

You think that if this didn't happen trump wins. What you should be concerned with is that in a two man race, Cruz gets all of Carson's votes, all of Paul's votes, at least half of Rubio’s votes. That leaves trump even deeper in the losing column.
