Carson called out the Cruz campaign's "dirty tricks and lies" and it has been suggested this may have helped him get that small lead over Trump.
Cruz's campaign ran with the news story of Carson not going to NH or SC after IA and told his supporters at various caucus sites that he dropped out. Because of how these caucuses work, that could have taken a lot of support from Carson. They later said that they assumed by the news that Carson was dropping out.
