The above link sums up things so far. CNN tweets "explicitly" stated Carson was not suspending campaign efforts.
Is it voter fraud? All I know is that it is what it is.
What is this idiot talking about now? I bet it's something about that myth about Cruz which was not voter fraud by the way. I watched the video on CNN that the whole claim came from. A Cruz person was tweeting about Ben Carson was going home to Florida to get clean clothes a story also carried by the Huffington Post. He never, NEVER, said that Carson was quitting the election. That was the CNN crew who came up with that conclusion and tied that to an announcement Carson was going to make at 10:15 that night. Let the speculation begin. CNN tweets at 6:44. At 6:53 Carson campaign tweeted they weren't quitting under any circumstances. Caucuses started at 7. The messages that Carson was quitting were 2 voice mails (in the Breitbart report). A video of people talking about something doesn't make that "something" true.
No, this was just another tall tale created by YOU(CNN) and believed by the idiot elite (as proven by the following quotes I included).

Cruz precinct captain Nancy Bliesman told CNN she received two messages Monday night saying that Carson was leaving the campaign trail.
"Dr. Ben Carson will be (inaudible) suspending campaigning following tonight's caucuses. Please inform any Carson caucusgoers of this news and urge them to caucus for Ted instead," someone who identified themselves as being from the Cruz campaign said in one message.
In another voicemail, someone who also identified herself as being with the Cruz campaign said, "It has just been announced that Ben Carson is taking a leave of absence from the campaign trail, so it is very important that you tell any Ben Carson voters that for tonight, uh, that they not waste a vote on Ben Carson, and vote for Ted Cruz."
The voicemails were
first reported Thursday by Breitbart News and Bliesman confirmed their content to CNN.

CNN reported Monday night that Carson would go home to Florida following the Iowa caucuses instead of flying directly to the early voting states of New Hampshire and South Carolina. The network added that he planned to stay in the race.
READ: Ted Cruz's claims about CNN are false
Some Cruz allies shared that news widely on the night of the caucuses, including to Carson supporters,
but did not include the part about Carson remaining in the race.
That has irked Carson and his team, who has said the decision
by the Cruz team to share only part of the CNN report was a dirty political maneuver. Donald Trump has also latched onto it as a reason to invalidate Cruz's victory over him in Iowa.
Cruz later apologized to Carson for not clarifying the report."
Report is that Cruz said the claim by CNN is false. If the CNN story is "true," then why is Cruz "apologizing" for his campaign staff passing out the false report on Carson.
The available info shows the CNN story is true (no quotation marks needed) and Cruz apologized (again, no quotation marks needed) for not including all the info in the CNN report
Where it's "fraud" or not is another question.
Sleazy? Yes! Dishonest? Yes! Does it corrupt the process? Yes! Yes, you and jdouche and Cruz are all of that.
Is it consistent with the unprincipled person occupying the People's House now? Yes to that also.I've never seen anything that qualified you as someone who can judge who is principled or not.

[QUOTE=JD Barleycorn;1057772056]Did Cruz apologize for his campaign workers giving a false report or did Cruz apologize for one of his workers just shooting his mouth off about Carson's plans and then editorializing?
Neither. Now starts the bullshit that has nothing to do with this> Politicians apologize all the time for things that didn't happen just because it makes the matter go away. Like settling in a lawsuit though you didn't do anything wrong. It is quicker, easier, and cheaper to just settle than to fight it out. Let me give you an example; I was involved a few years ago in a local campaign. A guy was on staff to record a debate/townhall meeting. He did but it came up that his camera was rolling when focused on another candidate's group meeting. No separate rooms, just your spot on the floor. Anyway, the other party cried foul to this eavesdropping of their private meeting. The guy confessed that he was recording the group but not for secrets, there was a young woman on the other team that he wanted to meet and he was recording her. Now our guy could have come and told the truth but you know how that sounds.
It sounds exactly like it is. Pretty fucking creepy. And instead of learning you shouldn't secretly tape women, you think the method used for getting your ass out of the sling is business as usual. So my guy apologized for the actions of a subordinate (who did this without his knowledge) and we tried to move on.
This was a CNN fuck up.
Wrong. The Cruz man never said that Carson was quitting the race.
Not exactly that but his staff implied it. Text of the voice mail they left is above. He was just mocking Carson for going home. It was the CNN who inferred the wrong thing and then reported it in such a way as to make it look like they got something confirmed.
Once again your analysis is completely wrong and filled with bullshit and lies.
Why is Carson attacking Cruz on this....come on, it's an election and you have to get your name out there somehow.
By the way, tell Assup that I accused CNN of misreporting rumor as fact.
And you made a false accusation. Again. Otherwise, Assup is guilty of the same thing CNN just did
. Which was? [/QUOTE]
Once again you show why everything you type has to be checked.
