Blah, blah, blah.

Trump didn't have it or he would have used it.

Carson should have used his words more carefully

Trump has no business lecturing anyone on integrity.

Frigging idiots that went for Rubio.


Their thinking is likely along the lines of, “he looks like a nice young man”.

A calm informative article.
Cruz and Trump both need to get those “somewhat conservative” voters from Rubio. “Somewhat conservative” means a Republican moderate I’d guess.
Notice Trump came in second with both types of ‘conservatives’. Pretty good for a ‘NY values’ guy.
I think that meme ‘won’ Iowa for Cruz. Though he would have done very well even without it.

Retail politics may not always be worth the cost.
We’ll see how much Iowa was worth. They all got about the same from it and Trump ‘paid’ much less.
A third in NH would make Cruz’s or Rubio’s costs seem a bargain.

There is a small problem here.

Who gave CNN te information?

That is still unknown as late as Bill O’Reilly’s program tonight.

Does CNN just make stuff up?

Maybe. But politicians sure do.

Blame the victim, cool.

After this week Ted doesn’t hold the ethical and moral high ground.

Trump made the best move, he didn’t use it against Carson, what would have been the point. He’s not a political and doesn’t know the gutter politics. He will use it against Cruz.

That explains a lot.

This is no different than blacks voting for OBAMA because he is half black.

Trump has been a lefty for decades as an adult an elderly adult and has given no detailed explaination on his sudden conversion.

LOL to your post 11. I really doubt those letters made that much difference AND they very well may have meant as much to other candidates as to Cruz. In fact I think Trump actually won the “just decided in the last day” category. Or maybe it was Rubio.

The Cruz/Trump war benefits Rubio. I do not trust that little smiley face fast-talker one little bit.

No Cruz did not start the rumor. It was CNN who did, and it wasn't the first time CNN started a rumor that wasn't true.

Remember the Clinton News Network is the enemy. They do anything to destroy our candidates. Don't fall for it.

Please. Trump doesn't get out of the gutter
Inferred that Carson was a child molester. Doesn't get much more gutter than that.

I meant to add that regardless of who is to blame for the rumor, the fact still remains that it is unknown as to how many votes switched away from Carson and to whom.

And I repeat that if that is not known, neither is anything else regarding the top three candidates.

so true. these are the people who did not make their mind up and thought he looks nice and young I want him.

Is it any wonder why the country is in a mess when we have people like that voting.

The only thing Cruz’a organization did was forward a news report. Trump accused an opponent of being a child molester.
