I find the Cruz supporters attack the messenger defense very Clintonesque.
Who will be next?!
Stunning indictment??? If you trust anything Rove says, then you haven’t learned much.
Cruz and Rubio are starting to look the same now.
I live in Iowa, and I did not hear anything about this before or during the caucus. In fact, it wasn’t until late that night that I first heard anything about this. I suspect that this brought up in very few precincts, simply because the text was sent out just a few minutes prior to the start of the caucus.
As I said, nobody got up and said anything about this, at all. So, what happened? Cruz won the precinct with 28.7% of the vote. Carson tied for 5th place with a whopping 4.7% of the vote.
Instead of Carson getting upset with the Cruz camp for sharing the CNN news story, maybe he should be upset with himself and his people for whoever sent out the poorly worded, vague announcement that CNN reported on.
And then, to come back with the most LAME excuse ever, that he was just going back to Florida to get a change of clothes?!?! Really??? That’s what you’re going with, Ben? What serious candidate makes that argument? It’s simply laughable.
Rove is against anyone that is not towing the GOPee banner!
That of course includes Trump as well as Cruz.
Rove just wants the candidates who have a sane position on immigration to be destroyed.
We should be smart enough to avoid a war between Cruz and Trump... It appears we are not smart enough and that’s SAD!
Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump would be unbeatable IMO.
Rove is a consummate ass!
So, Tokyo Rove was on Fox for this ‘Fair & Balanced’ report....Fox loves Trump for the ratings...now pimping for Kid Rubio at all levels, even Greta...very sad!
Boom.
Really, Karl Rove— he’s some idiot guru for the GOPe— and hasn’t got a clue. I’ll take Rush’s analysis with the numbers. It was Rubio’s people (led by Rove no doubt) trying to pass this off to Cruz. Way to go Karl. Gonna lose another one to your moron concepts. It is no longer Bushie time, and definitely not Romney time nor his “boy wonder” who’s uh, not too bright.
I used to be a big Cruz fan but now I’ve been a bit disappointed with how he’s been acting lately. This cheating also puts me off.
All the sudden the Trumpsters are going to be caring what Tokyo Rove said.
The full assault on conservatism is on. Cruz is being slandered by the liberal Republicans (Trump) and the GOPe (Rove, Rubio, etc). I don’r believe a single word from the media, Trump or the GOPe.
Wah! Rove and Trump form a whining society.
Stop whining
Rove, like all of the establishment, is a huge Trump fan when compared to Cruz, the only guy who is prepared to slice and dice the establishment into tiny pieces, not “work with them.”
Carson’s campaign was in disarray!! 20 or so staffers had quit and His campaign manager..Then he tells the media (CNN) he was quitting his campaign going to Florida.. This is a caucus the idea of a caucus is to get together and try to persuade someone to come over to your side.. That is not cheating or stealing.. I’ve went to a Caucus and they are different!!!
This is exactly what I expected ... I even posted speculation regarding the GOPe starting a fight between Trump and Cruz and having their lower tier morons like Rick “Social Conservative, Fiscal Liberal” Santorum and Huck the Hutt drop out so that their golden boy Rubio gets a plurality of the votes.
I doubt it’ll work though ... People like a good fight. Dirty politics would have died ages ago if the tactics didn’t work.
Rove’s endorsement pushes me toward Cruz.
Rove, you magnificent bastard!
Want to know why so many here are put out by Cruz's tactics? Because they are seeing something that many have not seen before; a member of the GOP who plays to win. A member of the GOP who can and will play rough.
Not used to that are we?
Ted Cruz is EXACTLY the kind of conservative I want in the White House. Someone who is not afraid fight and to bayonet the wounded.
If he will do stuff like this to win against his own people, what do you think he will be willing to do to Hillery and then to Harry Reid?
Next, the Trump people will say that Obama’s claims against Cruz are good for their candidate.
What IS it with these people ?
Every DC insider hates Cruz - people from BOTH parties, EVERY MSM outlet, along with your Hollywood elites - and STILL they talk like Cruz is an “establishment” politician.
