    Look, anyone who thinks Ted Cruz is some bastion of political integrity hasn't read any of the stories from people who worked with him.

    Being hated in the Senate isn't the first time he had co-workers that couldn't stand him.

    When he worked for the Bush campaign he was known as a self-promoting, arrogant mid-level staffer who alienated everyone around him save for a small sample.

    Ted Cruz is flat out lying about his misleading email urging people to urge Carson's delegates to caucus for Cruz.

    He's claiming that he simply didn't discuss the follow up from CNN about Carson heading to Florida but not quitting the race.

    The fact is that is that it wasn't an subsequent post, but one that followed immediately about Carson going to Florida.

    Cruz is a liar, plain and simple, and they've been caught, but are still trying to stick to their lie.

    It isn't bias to say that something you are accused of saying isn't true.

    The Cruz campaign is lying by claiming that cnn said Carson was getting out of the race. They did not say that.

    It's ok though, Fox News is supporting the false story here by not showing the the full tweets and by cutting off Dana bash mid sentence in their clips

    MojoMan, Commodore et al...the fools that bump threads about stupid emails but will goto great lengths to excuse voter fraud [​IMG]. There is a reason not a single republican actually likes Ted Cruz.

    Carson needs to drop out anyways. Cruz was just doing him a favor.

    Carson has watched Cruz assimilate most of his support over the last couple of months. That has to be really disappointing and exasperating, especially after such a strong start.

    If Ben Carson wants to somehow get back into this race, the path for him to do that is to get those former supporters back from Cruz. They already know what Carson believes and thinks on the issues, and they decided to change candidates anyway, so more of that is not going to get it done. All that is left is for Carson is to go negative as hard as he can, or to get out of the race.

    Unfortunately for Ben, this little kerfuffle is not the stuff from which these sort of epic campaign turnarounds are made. He should certainly stay in as long as he wants, but the writing is on the wall. We all know how this is going to finish for him in the end.
