Cruz Apologizes to Carson for Campaign Rumor That Made Waves in Iowa

Democratic presidential candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton both appeared at a town hall meeting at the Derry Opera House Wednesday night in New Hampshire.

Trump said this in an interview on Boston Herald Radio, that was flagged by BuzzFeed.

“I think it did, yes”, he said today at a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. “I was getting a lot of intelligence from a lot of different places saying I was going to do extraordinarily well”.

Ted Cruz’s campaign spread during the Iowa caucuses Monday night about Carson dropping out of the presidential race affected the results.

That’s not quite how the story was shared by the Cruz campaign, which spread word in Iowa that Carson seemed to be suspending his campaign.

New Hampshire is the second in a series of state-by-state nominating contests to decide who will be each party’s candidate for president in November.

“Reality just hit the reality star – he lost Iowa and now nobody is talking about him, so he’s popping off on Twitter”, Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler said in a statement.

Iowa caucusgoers are multiple locations told the Des Moines Register that Cruz representatives who gave speeches announced Carson was suspending his campaign.

“Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he stole it”, he wrote to his six million followers on Twitter.

A University of MA poll out Wednesday showed the bombastic billionaire leading in the Granite State with 38% support among likely GOP voters, with Cruz and Marco Rubio in a distant second and third, with 14% and 12% respectively.

CNN was reporting that Cruz had apologized for his staff telling caucus-goers that Ben Carson was planning to exit the race, saying it had been a mistake.

He was competing for the evangelical voters that propelled Cruz to victory in that state.

Mr Pate said Mr Cruz’s mailers “misrepresent Iowa election law” and that they were “not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses”, but he stopped short of any official action.

“They told me I had to wait my turn”, Mr. Rubio said. The tweets are a marked contrast from the morning after the Iowa vote, in which Mr Trump offered his congratulations to his rival.
