How Ted Cruz Lied and won Iowa Caucus.

[UCmeNdc]

In the hours before Monday’s vote, Ted Cruz's campaign circulated rumors that Ben Carson was planning to drop out. This incensed the normally mild-mannered retired neurosurgeon, who had reacted with surprising equanimity in the face of Donald Trump’s vicious attacks last fall. His wife Candy was also visibly upset when she had to deny the rumor at a caucus site.

This is an example of what Cruz surrogates were saying Monday night as Iowans caucused:

Steve King (from Cruz's Campaign) tweeted: Carson looks like he is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope.

Carson called into Fox News yesterday to rip into Cruz. He said there has never been “a more tainted victory.”

After initially pooh-poohing questions about this, calling what his campaign did “fair game,” Cruz apologized to Carson last night. He said his political team was merely sharing a misleading CNN story (a story no one can find) and added that they should have circulated an updated version that made clear Carson was not getting out.

1. Well Carson's explanation of flying to Florida for "fresh clothes" doesn't pass the smell test

either. Yeah the Cruz campaign was wrong to say Carson was ending his campaign, but the fresh clothes story is kind of weird.

2. Carson needs to do a lawsuit

Also he needs to pound this in at the debate Saturday night. Cruz is dangerous. I don't want him near the nomination....that would be too close to the White House in my opinion.
