Meanwhile Carson is battling for 7th place in NH and 4th place in SC. I don’t think continual whining about Cruz and Iowa is gonna get him there. Everyone else has moved on.

Political cannibalism. The Republican Party should change its name to the Donner Party and just get it over with already.

I call on Senator Cruz to take decisive action at a senior level within his campaign or I fear this culture of destructive behavior will only continue.

Ever the inspirational message carrier to a generation of Americans who care deeply about the impact of Ted Cruz’ Iowa field team on national morals and on their everyday lives. Hear, hear, Dr. Carson! You should include the above line in your inauguration address!

I don’t know who is doing most damage, Carson to Cruz sulking about this or Santorum to Rubio (with his ‘endorsement, sort of’), but I am pretty sure Trump smiles somewhere…

Cruz: I am a winner and will not condone actions of my staff.When I am POTUS, I plan to run the country decisively and have win at any cost attitude.
Carson: Wow! you have my vote if you are the nominee. Will be glad to do so.

why would anybody believe that crudz did not know what was going on? oh. ted said so. and surely ted would not LIE.

Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. If anything, Cruz gave them all a raise.
Btw, Carson would have done the same if he had any staff left to give it to.

When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas…(with the exception of my dog however).

…from his home in Florida. Where he just fired 50 paid staffers on his campaign in what they called the first wave of firings.

Yes. That’s right. Carson has not even stepped foot in NH since he left Iowa Monday night. With less than 5 days to go before the primary.

I read 9th place in NH, but that’s a quibble because he has zero percent of winning the nomination but wants to the keep the books and other tchotchkes tour alive.

Or the Reagan 11th Amendment, do not trash thy brethren on the way to the mount, and certainly check with an astrologer before you do anything.

And there is always the venerable 'do unto others. . . . '.

There are only 8 candidates left, so you might have seen something from before 3 of the clowns dropped out. OTOH, I wouldn’t put it past Carson to come in 9th out of 8 candidates.

Indeed. With Huck and Paul gone Carson will be 7th. And he still has has much chance of winning the nomination as Rick, Rand and Mike.

Isn’t working with Ted Cruz punishment enough?
