Cruz dismisses Carson flap, blasts ‘Trump-ertantrums’ at NH town hall

NASHUA — A defensive Ted Cruz justified his attempt to woo Iowa voters away from GOP rival Ben Carson at a town hall forum Wednesday in New Hampshire, less than a week before the state's first-in-the-nation presidential primary and two days after winning the Iowa caucuses.
On Tuesday, Carson, a retired neurosurgeon whose outsider campaign has appealed to evangelical voters heavily pursued by Cruz, condemned Cruz for sending an email to Iowa voters hours before the start of the caucuses, suggesting that Carson planned to drop out of the race.
