I am a trump supporter, and I don’t think he’s helping his cause.
He needs to return to what he brought into this race to start. He hasn’t done that in a while now.
Have to admit, what Cruz staff did was LOW, really low.
Rush on now...bringing up all the Trump morning tweets about Cruz...hurting both...
“Sheesh. This site has been filled throughout the years of frustration at how Republicans won’t fight back over fraud.”
That rule doesn’t apply to Cruz.
He can do whatever, and you are to bow your heads and say amen.
“He conducts himself like a future president doesn’t he?/s”
Indeed. Like a future imperial president who makes up the rules and manipulates the system as it suits him. I have had enough of presidents like that.
Say what you will about Trump being a buffoon (I wouldn’t disagree) but he is always
thinking of ways to give himself an advantage.
***************
The advantage he needs to be thinking about at this time is New Hampshire. He has six days
to keep his lead from melting away like it did in Iowa.
He lost Iowa by one convention vote, maybe four depending upon how the Iowa GOP committee
decides to use their three. So four out of 1237 convention delegate votes needed to win
can come from many other sources. Trump needs to concentrate on those and let
Iowa live with their decision.
Yes, he could. That is very possible, and that is what I am seeing too.
If trump can’t figure out why Iowa wasn’t interested in his New York liberal ways then he should get out now. What a maroon.
Let’s get discovery on Rubio and Trump!
That’s really funny; thank you! :)
100% THIS +++
You are correct. He has to keep the subject on himself but preferably on the topic he chooses. It is simple politics, and especially so the Trump Political means. And everyone who thinks about it knows it. Even those who don't want to believe it.
I mean think about it. He started the race by claiming he would build a wall along the border of Mexico and claiming he would make Mexico pay for it. And by claiming he was a conservative, despite all his previous years of statements, actions,and donations.
Of course he is saying the Iowa election was stolen from him. What else CAN he say to keep the news about him, but not focusing losing.
For his next big splash, he will probably say he intends to build a wall along the Canadian border, and make Canada pay for it. get another news cycle on something else, while also about him. Plus it ties together with his Cruz is Canadian theme. Perfect. wait for it. . .
This is what Sarah Palin posted on Facebook............
Dirty Politics: Witnessing Firsthand It’s Always Heartbreaking, Never Surprising
Thank heavens Donald Trump opened so many eyes to the lies, corruption and total lack of accountability that come so naturally to the permanent political class. And Sen. Ted Cruz was spot on when he once noted that “millions of Americans are asking for accountability and truth.” Which is why it’s so curious - and saddens us - this lack of accountability with the lies of Cruz’s own campaign.
Cruz’s campaign chairman, U.S. Representative Steve King, is lying, and good for Dr. Ben Carson for calling this out. King, who’s previously asked for and received my endorsement, time and resources to support his own election, is still lying about my altruistic support of Mr. Trump, and he’s refused to provide any evidence to the contrary. And, this U.S. Congressman actually lied to his own constituents on behalf of Cruz, regarding a good man, Dr. Carson. He told voters Carson was dropping out of the Presidential race immediately before the Iowa caucus, causing a relative uproar inside the process, so the word would spread and he could rack up more votes for his candidate, Cruz. That’s a dirty trick. Dr. Carson deserved better. The voters deserved better!
Where is the accountability for these political actions? Very sad; typical Washington tactics. THIS is why “the status quo has got to go.”
Our friend Dr. Carson put it so well:
“As Christians, of course we accept people’s apologies, we also have to ask ourselves is this acceptable to us, the American people, or should there be some accountability? There should be some consequences for things. You don’t just say ‘oh, okay, sorry… okay let’s move on.’ The damage was done to me, it wasn’t done to them.â€
We’ve had eight years of a reckless President, accountable to no one, pushing this country to the brink. Why would we ever take a risk repeating that? We are never going to turn this country around if we keep electing “more of the same.” Just like conservatives have been preaching in opposition to Obama’s political tactics for years: actions speak louder than words.
The Cruz Campaign’s actions to destroy a good man’s efforts to serve are no different than Obama’s practice of not holding anyone accountable. Typical politics. Typical politicians.

“Iowa worst case scenario: Cruz got some Carson votes because of the mix-up about Carson going to FL. “
It wasn’t a whoopsie “mix-up”. They flat-out lied for votes.
Now they want everyone to shut up and MoveOn.org.
Trump continues to own the media narrative, controlling a few more media cylcles heading into NH, and sowing more seeds of doubt over cruz’s integrity.
DT supporters need to ask themselves WHY he avoids attacking Rubio, who came ‘’ this close to eating his Iowa lunch, which would have KILLED his campaign, coming in third.
Why is this dog not barking at Marco? You know the answer.
“Go ahead Donald....Nothing turns voters off more by channelling butt-hurt into litigation.”
Four years ago:
WHY DOEST THE GOP EVER FIGHT VOTER FRAUD!!!!!??????
IM SO SICK OF THE DEMS STEALING ELECTIONS!!!!!!
A lawsuit over Iowa is not going to help him.
It will distract him, that will be all he talks about, and he will lose future elections as a result IMO.
He needs to focus on here is why I am a better choice than all these other guys, here is why I am what America and Americans want at this crucial time in history.
If he is doing something other than that, he’s going to lose.
People respond to positive campaigns. He appears to be moving in the opposite direction.
Meanwhile the Democrats never let a thing slip by and look whose philosophy now dominates the culture -- theirs.
While I don't think in the particular case that Trump is making the right call (and I don't believe he is really going to sue, he's just trying to keep attention on the Iowa shenanigans by linking outrageous statements to it), it's nice to see a Republican fighting for once.
OK, Ms Palin, just who is this "Our" you are referring to?
Would it be the "Our" who compared Dr. Carson to a child molester?
