Candidates must realize that they are operating in a world of instant communication and speculation is coin of the realm. It’s what the media sells, 24/7.

Every single move has to be filtered through, “What is this going to look like on TV?”

Carson seemed to be living in the world when we waited for the newspaper and Walter Cronkite.

Politics is warfare. If you’re going to play by Marquess of Queensberry rules you will lose. Stop trying to tie the hands of our candidates with restrictive rules of engagement.

Cruz can’t determine the facts after a little media speculation, so how will he deal with Putin and Iran and a world filled with deceivers?

I'm not tying anyone's hands. Simply making an observation (or as I see it, a statement of FACT) that they're all lying crooks. Period.

None of them are to be trusted. Period.

Did not answer the question, I see.

Was not aware of pulled posts. Did you placemark them by any chance? You seem interested in stalking me, for some reason

Is there any evidence whatsoever that any would-be Carson voter changed his mind because of information he received inside a caucus from a Cruz representative? Anyone willing to be interviewed that they changed because of this information?

Why is there this assumption that Carson voters are that gullible?

You had an entire thread pulled because of your nasty shilling for Cruz. What kind of ego do you Cruz idiots have that you think people are following you around? I go on whatever thread I choose and respond to any post I want. I wouldn’t follow you with a shovel.

And I don’t need to respond to any question you ask either.

Are you posting from a boiler room in a St. Petersburg basement, by any chance?

The objective analysis shows on caucus night Team Ted lied, and “principled” died.

Genuine question here.

Cruz sent out the letter to his folks saying Carson had a big announcement coming up the day after the Iowa vote.

1. On what did he base that?

2. What was the big announcement?

3. Why did Cruz say that?

4. How is CNN responsible for Cruz saying it?

I submit it was a lie by implication. Saying Carson is suspending his campaign and has a big announcement implies he will announce he is dropping out.

Please respond.

Time magazine cautions that "criticizing Ted Cruz seldom works". But, whatever the truth behind these two incidents, they are (as Cruz's former fellow British subjects would say) not cricket. To go back to where I came in, I would like to be governed by honorable men. The Cruz campaign's behavior in Iowa does not meet that test.

The above was written by Mark Steyn. As a Cruzer, I donated a few bucks after his Iowa win, but as a human being, I had to take a shower.

Ted Cruz is a lawyer politician with as many scruples as any other lawyer politician.

There are NO perfect candidates, which is why I'm a Cruzer first and a Trumpster second. I am ashamed of the weak response by Ted, no balls to smack his own people.

Cruz ran off at the mouth. It’s his own fault for listening to a talking head at CNN instead of verifying it with Carson. This is all on Cruz’ head. He was the only candidate who did this. Evidence of how he operates and it’s not good leadership.

I DO follow the threads I start and the only one pulled was one of a vet who was questioning Palin's mentioning PTSD in relation to her son's alleged criminal behavior.

Back to topic though, people generally ignore questions that a truthful answer to would reveal something they do not want to be revealed. A non answer actually says a lot.

Especially when the anger and bile oozes.

So now we accept what a news organization puts out as fact
without first checking to be sure.
