I have professed my strong dislike for Mr. Cruz for a couple of years now, but in this case his staffers acted on a news that they believed was legit from a nationally recognized media channel. Yes, they should have confirmed that Dr. Carson was dropping out first, and they should have made corrective disclosure once they learned the truth. But to be fair, it all started because of Dr. Carson's campaign saying that he won't be making a trip to NH from IA . . . a fair reading of that statement is that Dr. Carson is dropping out. Dr. Carson does some weird chit for no apparent reason (No clean suits? No Men's Warehouse in NH?), he has to take some of the blame for allowing his staff to issue such a strange statement.
And if Dr. Carson was indeed going to drop out after Iowa, I think it is fair game for the Cruz campaign to urge voters to caucus with them.
So, while this was unfair to Dr. Carson and damaged his prospects in Iowa (and by extension elsewhere), I haven't seen anything that is intentionally or knowingly malicious or nefarious from the Cruz campaign . . . but I'd be happy to believe otherwise if I see some evidence.

The "news" didnt report it until much later in the day, so even if Cruz did "question" if Carson was quitting, it would have had zero affect on the election, let alone be enough to cause him to win..
Can I feel how scared Cruz is right now. The anxiety he feels coming up to the next debate where Trump is going to obliterate him so hard there will be nothing left.
Interesting how there is no media spotlight on this person and her personal outrage.
It is not even clear she was ever a Cruz supporter, much less a staffer. Or even that she is a real person and not just a completely fictitious internet identity used to promote this false story.

Right, because Carson actually outperformed 1.6% higher than expected.
I am not working today and enjoy a good challange. Called the Iowa Cruz office, they said they never hear of her, let alone paid her. The speculation of the guy I talked to (not surprisingly) thinks it is a Trump operative behind it.
This is some election....... Dirty politics at its best.
ETA: He also pointed out her picture is now down from Twitter and that it was a fake picture. I just checked, he's right, the picture is gone.
She may have been a "crazy" (every campaign has them). She had 753 followers and tweeted like she was part of the campaign. Now all erased except the one and picture (maybe fake) gone. I'm not taking this one seriously at all.
