Why did Trump lie in Nevada and say that Cruz had left Nevada?

Why does he still need to lie?

[COUNTrecount]

He didn’t say that Cruz left he said that some candidates had left, which they did. He did not name anyone specifically.

Check your facts.

Why did Trump lie in Nevada and say that Cruz had left Nevada/

Didn't you listen to it? Trump said "they all left Nevada", more of a rhetorical emphasis that Trump was there. He never said Cruz left Nevada. He never said the others left and followed it with that meant they dropped out of the race and to vote for him. (like Cruz's campaign did with Carson in Iowa)

What you've done is a distortion. You replaced "all" with "Cruz". There's a big difference because, in fact, Trump did not single out Cruz in his statement. After all the lies, dirty campaign tricks, and distortions, Cruzers no longer have the luxury of adding their own interpretation to statements.

Why does he still need to lie?

Same reason Cruz campaign said Carson was dropping out. It could have been an honest mistake. I am willing to give all candidates the benefit of the doubt. Mistakes happen. I don’t think saying that made any difference in the Nevada results. Cruz and Trump need to end this back and forth bickering. If not, we will end up with Rubio. And I think we can all agree that is the last thing we want.

Because he never said Cruz left Nevada.

Cruz might as well have left.
