Have you seed the ravenous wolves of the liberal media interviewing any people claiming to be Republicans who switched votes based on this?
NO!
As a person who caucused among 3000 others in one big room, there wasn't a hint of this during the vote casting.
You’re setting a ridiculously high standard that no politician would ever reach.
AND, I should add it wasn’t Ted..it was Steve King and / or another Cruz staffer.
AND, I should add Steve King’s retweet said something to the affect of “it appears Carson is dropping out “ or “looks like ...”
Sorry, Suz, I expect more common sense from a fellow Zonie
No. I don’t understand. How is this cheating exactly?
Cruz mentioned a CNN report (the screenshot is right there) and then ASKED voters to support him instead of Carson.
CNN never said Carson was suspending his campaign, just that he wasn’t going directly to NH. Cruz embellished the story ro his advantage.
Then when CNN reported Carson was only going to Florida for one day, Cruz didn’t bother to pass that along.
Mrs. Carson disputed Cruz’s claim at one of the caucuses, but that wasn’t passed along either.
If the first but of embellished information could be passed fro caucus to caucus at lightning speed, so could the retraction.
So? Just because Cruz raised a lot of money, doesn’t make it nefarious. Who is to say, these contributors and Super Pacs aren’t supporting and donating to his campaign, FOR conservative principles? Who is to say they don’t want the same things most of us do, and that is to take our country back from the progressives?
Hey Joe,
Put down the crack pipe buddy.
You're sounding downright stupid.
Assuming that the “Carson’s leaving” story had an impact, why does everyone assume that none of those voters went to Trump or Rubio? And how is it that Carson actually outperformed his pre-caucus polling despite it?
All that whining over 1 (one) delegate ... wait til Putin gets on Mr. Malleable ... what pretzel shape will he assume and do we need more salt?
Are you saying 4 x 1500 does not = 6,000?
I think Trump would have won but for the Carson nonsense.
Cruz only got one more delegate than Trump.
The reality is that Cruz team saw an opening and pounced on it. It’s dirty politics..and the way the game is played.
I agree with you... Carson is done. He’s been done for a few weeks now.
You can call me stupid all you want Trumpanzee at least I am not a born again libtard like ehhhh, YOU.
CRUZIN with CRUZ to the White House. Bringing honor and not just a Big New Yawk MOUTH
I don’t think anyone will disagree with you, but Cruz people sent this to CNN, and they posted it on their live coverage.
I really don’t think it mattered on the outcome. Probably resulted in a few hundred votes for Rubio and Cruz in the end, I would think.
Keep in mind a young man died helping team Carson out in Iowa just a few short weeks ago. What team Cruz did is despicable and worthy of him losing his delegates.
Right ... it is moments like the following where Trump shines most brightly ...
Trump and Islamic No-Go Zones in England
Five police officers claim Donald Trump is RIGHT about parts of London being so radicalised
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3370457/posts
Serving police officers today backed Donald Trump’s claim that some Muslim communities in the UK are no-go areas because of extremism. Several Met officers have said the ‘Islamification’ of some parts of the capital requires ‘extra vigilance’ and they can’t wear uniforms for safety reasons - despite Scotland Yard claiming the tycoon ‘couldn’t be more wrong’. Home Secretary Theresa May tonight rejected Mr Trump’s claims, insisting: ‘The police in London are not afraid to go out and police the streets.’
The US presidential contender caused worldwide consternation yesterday after a string of incendiary remarks about Muslims, including in Britain ... [snip]
[Nostalgic sigh.]
Cruz values, lie lie lie deny and it that does not work flip flop
Now for Cruz.
He schemes during campaigns ...
“I liquidated my assets to run for Senate.” [no he didn’t]
“I have no insurance.” [yes he did.]
Enough with it already. The lies bite you back later.
Every bit of what Rove said is a documented objective fact. Your guy lied to the Iowa voters. Deal with it.
Because I trust Karl Rove, who writes for the Wall Street Journal and works with the Bush clan.
He is, he is the senator from Canada.
