GLP - 2016-02-04 9:09 AM Tdove - 2016-02-04 9:05 AM From what I can tell, the facts of the case show Cruz and team did nothing wrong. He was even so upstanding as to apologize to Carson, which I don't think he needed to do. I agree.
Do you REALLY know if or how many of Carson supporters swapped support....NO.....
IMO, you will see a big shake-up in the next month (after NH & SC) due to those dropping from the race. Huckabee, Rand Paul and Santorium have already dropped. Santorium has thrown his support behind Rubio. I don't think Trump will pick up support from the Paul camp but he "might" get a few of the Huckabee supporters.....Â
............ and THIS mindset is exactly what is wrong with this country today... This is "politics as usual" and people like you see nothing wrong with it..... You see a half truth and refuse to acknowledge the part that is a lie. |

| I'm behind the times, but this wasn't just an email. It was also a robocall all across Iowa. I heard it on T.V. and there is no denying what this campaign's intentions were. I'm sorry, but you can't put lipstick on a pig and still call it okay. This was wrong. And I genuinelly like much of what Cruz says. He was my choice for a long time. Not any more. |

I'm not accusing anyone of anything.
I was just pointing out a bit of irony.
I have no dog in this fight, I not eligible to vote anyway.

1 or 2?? I have not met Trump yet... But he's not a politician... I didn't meet RR but I never caught him in a lie. You folks are just catching up on Cruz??
and before the mods pitch a fit... This picture made all the national news sites...

If you're going to insult me, at least get it right. Palin joked during the 08 GNC, that making her the VP was like putting lipstick on a PITTBULL.
For all the crud i've been given about my support of Palin and how I can't let it go, it sure seems to me that it's you guys that can't let it go. I still think she's a terrific lady. Her flash in the pan was a hell of a long flash, and its not over according to Trump. She certainly wasn't the DEATH of him either because now he enjoys a 30 % lead in the polls.
I wish we could just stick to the topics instead of trying to get those zingers on each other. Most of us are on the same side anyway. I think it's B.S. |

Just to be clear....I don't know what poll that you found has him with a 30 point "lead" ????

Something about Ted Cruz has creeped me out from the beginning. He reminds me of a slimy used car salesman. JMO........
Lol worse he's a lawyer
This guy gives off a very strong smarmy vibe and has for a while. Plus, when he doesn't get his way he behaves like a 5 year old who just got told he can't have a pony for his birthday.....on the senate floor no less. It wasn't just his staff, like his campaign staff that received the info, it was all the surrogates at the meetings. He had a great ground game going and he used it to cheat. He, his staff and surrogates knew exactly what they were doing.
He was never on the top of my list, and frankly this type of behavior from Cruz is not at all a surprising. Just a didn't expect the weasely stuff to be trotted out at the first primary. |
