Denial doesn't change reality.
Like your denial that Cruz lied to voters about Carson to get their votes in Iowa? You call that character?
Referencing an actual news story is not lying.
Claiming it's cheating to reference the story or that somehow thousands of people who were going to vote Carson changed their vote when you can't find one is lying. So is claiming you were cheated every time you get your butt kicked. Or claiming you are being robbed when you don't get what you aren't entitled to.
By the way you can't dislike lying as much as you claim or you wouldn't support Trump. He is the biggest liar running on the GOP side.
I am much more comfortable supporting a campaign that mistakenly cited a phoney news story than a man who made a career out of swindling little old ladies.
