"This person who posted this is obsessed with it. Check his history. It is a Trump supporter trying to bring down Cruz. Vile tactic."

Yes, he just posted about Jeb calling Cruz foolish for wanting to carpet bomb ISIS.

I asked him if he agreed with Jeb or with Cruz, and I never got an answer.

Odd, that.

It is their leader’s own system. Give what you get. I would think they would be thrilled.

Straight out of Alinsky: Accuse your opponent of whatever it is you did.

Rubio is self-imploding and exposing his true self. He is another Paul Ryan.

Old Alinsky tactic - Accuse your opponent what you yourself are doing, so that he takes the media hit and you dont.

With another poll showing Cruz with a sizeable lead in Iowa and a new poll showing Cruz catching up in S. Carolina....the Trumpophiles are beginning to show a bit of desperation.

It’s amusing to watch.

It is not only Rubio hitting Cruz.

- - - -

CNN - “Paul on Cruz: ‘He wants to have it both ways’ “

“The Kentucky senator expanded his critique of Cruz, accusing him of flip-flopping on trade and U.S. government surveillance, too, in an interview Sunday with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

“I think on a number of issues, he wants to have it both ways, depending on which audience he’s talking to,” Paul said of Cruz.’

It is fun to watch the GOPharisees going into contortions.

If they would look to the peoples choice and run with that, instead of working to manufacture the candidate of their choice, they'd be surprised at how fast and how strong they win.

Poor Rubio. His poll numbers are in a free-fall even as Ted Cruz's poll numbers skyrocket everywhere. In Iowa, Ted Cruz's numbers as much as quadrupled in the DMR poll from the previous poll, something they said had never happened before.
What is a pretty boy who can't even manage his own personal finances to do? The more he attacks Ted Cruz, the higher Cruz's numbers go.

I love when all the Cruz supporters hold Trump’s former positions against him as a mark against his conservatism, but when confronted with Ted’s numerous questionable positions, flip flops and changing stories, it either doesn’t matter, or there was a more noble conservative reason he was doing it. They just can’t admit that Ted is a politician and says and does things that all politicians do.

Because Ted Cruz has a lifetime of conservative activism with a very high(97%) ACU rating to prove it, And his battle scars from congress fighting for conservative causes at great cost to himself. He doesn’t have anything to prove.
Donald Trump on the other hand, he has everything to prove. He has a lifetime of liberal activism for starters. His conversion to conservative positions on some issues is too recent and too close to his run for president for conservatives to take him seriously.

Rube and Paul are saving Trump money and effort to slow Cruz express down.

If this continues, Trump stays above the fray and watches everyone else tank. Look and Rube and Paul both going down like the Titanic.

Most won’t believe them and at best its going to slow Ted down. But if Trump wins Iowa, I see this whole primary over by Florida.

I dare the GOPe to try and run third party or broker the convention, all their businesses will be boycotted by us grassrooters. Don’t mess with our voters decisions. I held my nose and voted for McCain and Romney, the GOPe better suck it up and except the will of the party at the ballot box.

I don't want ANYONE who managed to be nominated to the US Senate or as a Governor to be the next President. They had to jump through too many hoops just to get there.

Jeff Sessions is the exception who seems to be his own person. And he has no presidential aspirations.

This is not Cruz's time. The US Senate is a sewer. Cruz will best serve the nation helping President Trump clean it up. During that time, he can demonstrate that he is 100% loyal to Constitutional Conservatives. Cruz getting played on the first TPA vote and his not-too-long-ago support of increasing H1B visas fivefold and his relative youth are reasons why it just makes sense that way.

Let’s see,
“I do not support amnesty”, is what Mr. Rubio said prior to winning his Senate seat.
Gang of 8 leader saying we needs amnesty and an immigration overhaul seem like a total reversal there Mr. Rubio ya lying sack of crap.
