    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for misunderstanding. There is no face value to be had here, Cruz has admitted it took place.....

    ok....

    There is no debate on whether or not individuals from his campaign urged Carson supporters to vote for him on the premise that he was dropping out.

    Cruz hence apologized to him, stating that it was a misunderstanding and heard it from CNN.

    CNN broadcast logs however completely contradict him, there was never anything on their end that said anything related to Carson dropping out.


    I've said it as simple as can be, everything I said is factual...no opinion there. If you can't comprehend that I'm sorry but you fall into the class of voters that shouldn't be allowed to cast a ballot on the grounds of being too uninformed.

    Hahahaha. The previous couple of centuries, receding rapidly, called -- they want their reliance on the enlightenment back.

    Wait, that's not very funny. :(

    The Enlightenment gave us the end of absolute monarchy, liberty, empiricism, religious tolerance, reason, or as many explain it here and on the campaign trail, that dreaded secular Continental Philosophy, along with his twin brother, Communism.

    I am so opposed to many of the things that Cruz stands for- but I have to give him props for talking about his half-sister. Despite what some might say, I really think he was being sincere.

    I don't know, you might not want to take the words that came out of his mouth at face value, that would only make you naive.

    Kind of like these words:

    He was talking about a half-sister who died of heroin and how his dad and he had to get her out of a crack house once. For a brief glimmer, I saw some humanity in Teddy.

    this is the CNN report Cruz team cited, and CNN is annoyed it exists

    "very unusual"

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">BREAKING: <a href="https://twitter.com/moody">@moody</a> has learned <a href="https://twitter.com/RealBenCarson">@realbencarson</a> will return to FL following <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/IAcaucus?src=hash">#IAcaucus</a>, will not go to either NH or SC <a href="https://t.co/jl8NOY9KEx">https://t.co/jl8NOY9KEx</a></p>&mdash; The Lead CNN (@TheLeadCNN) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheLeadCNN/status/694321966677938177">February 2, 2016</a></blockquote>

    - Cruz apologized privately and publicly to Carson

    - not a single voter has been identified that switched their vote away from Carson at caucus time because of this

    - Cruz runs a very frugal campaign while Carson runs a scam campaign that burns through all its money paying staff and raising more money

    Cruz supporters keep pretending that report says something about dropping out of the race and that it was the only tweet posted

    When Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are leading your party for presidential nominee, you should really take a good look in the mirror and wonder where you went wrong with your life.

    When Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are leading your party for presidential nominee, you should really take a good look in the mirror and wonder where you went wrong with your life.

    In fact, Cruz and his supporters are still dishonestly trying to implicate CNN when Chris Moody's tweets clearly state Carson was heading home for R&R, returning to DC to attend a National Prayer Breakfast, and being told by Carson's campaign he planned to stay in the race beyond Iowa no matter what the Iowa results were.

    Amazing the lack of integrity of the Cruz campaign...

    It will be interesting to see the debate between the GOP and Demo.

    GOP has been "battlefightin" and the Democratic Party has played nice.

    So even though Cruz has publicly apologized you're still going to defend his camp over this. I give Cruz credit for publicly apologizing. It was the right and classy move. I don't though for people who are still trying to spin this.
