No, you try again.

Listen to it, it’s right there just like I told you.

never disputed by the Carson people

Actually, after the CNN tweet which was worded strangely because Carson had said he was going to FL to change, the Carson campaign tweeted that they were still in it.

I think Carson should ask them to look into it. If only to prevent some future campaign from doing something similar.

Is Cruz eligible under the “no foreign born” requirement in the constitution? Ya think?
__________________________________________________________

So you called me on the Carson layoffs, and got punked when I supplied the link.

So you try to deflect, by changing the subject fine enough.

I have looked at the Statute in effect at the time Cruz was born it was written in 1952, it was never challenged in court, so apparently congress had the right to specify what the term Natural BOrn Citizen means as per the COnstitution.

According to the statute Cruz is definitely a Natural Born Citizen. Also Mark Levin a Great Constitutional Scholar says Cruz is a NBC that is good enough for me.

Unlike the Leftist Trump I don’t rely on communist lawyers like Larry Tribe.

The funny thing is that whining here isn’t by Carson supporters, all the whining is by the trump fanbois. There are emulating the actions of their hero.

Meanwhile Rubio is moving into position to steal Trump’s lunch money in Nh.

If he blows his lead in NH it is lights out for the campaign. If Trump loses I will LMAO. Better to get to the 1 on 1 with Rubio and be done with it.

The Carson campaign was tweeting all day about the caucuses, he did interviews that day, his wife was at a location making calls, etc etc. There was no reason under the sun to think he was suspending or dropping out. The CNN tweet was poorly worded so the first thing one would do would be to try and corroborate the info, since this “information” was NO WHERE ELSE> But the Cruz campaign saw an opportunity to run with a lie that had deniability (”misunderstanding”). As soon as the Carson campaign was aware, they tweeted (at 8pm) he was going to FL to change clothes after the caucuses. But the Cruz campaign did not waste any time running with the lie. Carson may be a political newbie, but Cruz deliberately lied. and this is the guy who is supposed to be different? same old same old lying lawyers.

You are kidding? Mark “the kook” levin”? Let me assure you that in the even more unlikely event “Tricky Teddy” were to get the nomination against Gore, the entire demorat machine will sue Cruz and it WILL go to the Supreme court after two years on injunctions. And the obviously compromised Roberts Court will kick cruz OUT!

nobody said he was taking a leave of absence. all they said was he was going to FL and then to DC for the prayer breakfast. as soon as Carson’s campaign realized someone was putting out wrong info, they tweeted a correction (at 8pm). His wife was at a location making calls for heavens sake.
Everyone knows it was a dirty trick.
It just depends whether you think a dirty trick is okay, and if that is in character for your guy.

I note that Carson backers are whining, perhaps because I haven’t seen any here but the crying from Trumprtte pu**ies like you is epic.

Well you expose yourself as a total moron attacking Levin, bye bye dummy.

I’ll enjoy your anguish as Trump crashes and burns.

Cruz campaign sent out a letter about this and it said Carson was making a major announcement about his campaign.

Even believing the “just passed on what CNN said” on the tweet, explain what this alleged big announcement was and where the Cruz staffers heard about it?

I submit it was an implication Careon wasn’t going to New Hampshire and would announce he would drop out. It was a total lie by implication.

Saying going home to change clothes and then to a D. C. Prayer breakfast is ending a campaign is also misleading.

It is though very consistent to the lawyerly hair splitting Cruz approach to the truth.

I have some advice for the eager Mr. Cruz.

Worry about your own campaign, and let Carson run his.

What are you, his lawyer?

I think Mr. Carson can handle his announcements without your input. Mr. Cruz.

At two GOP Debate Watch Parties (Quaker Steak & Lube, St. Pete, FL) I have openly praised Dr. Ben Carson and encouraged all attendees to watch his movie "Gifted Hands", although I am an official Ted Cruz Florida Campaigner.

Having said that, Dr. Ben Carson, as brilliant as he is, has run a disasterous Presidential Campaign.



Dr. Ben Carson is now whining about a pathetic fourth-place Iowa finish, BLOWING his previous 4-week straight Iowa polling lead.

And of course, it's ALL Ted Cruz's fault.



It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson suspended his Presidntial campaign for two week to promote Carson's new book (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that one-half of Ben Carson's campaign team leadership QUIT two weeks before the Iowa vote (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson wasted two weeks on a STUPID Middle East visit, instead of campaigning in all of Iowa's 99 counties (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Dr. Ben Carson's debate performances have been PATHETIC ... or worse (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Dr. Ben Carson announced that Carson was leaving Iowa for a Florida trip (and NOT campaigning in Iowas) ... (/sarcasm-off).



Picture yourself as an Iowa Caucus Voter.


If CNN had floated a political rumor that Donald Trump was going to suspend his campaign after Iowa ... NO ONE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT.

Why ?

Donald Trump (like him or not) is a GENUINELY serious Presidential candidate.


If CNN had floated a political rumor that Marco Rubio was going to suspend his campaign after Iowa ... NO ONE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT.

Why ?

Marco Rubio (like him or not) is a GENUINELY serious Presidential candidate.



In the 2016 GOP Presidential race, Dr. Ben Carson is simply a black version of Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, and Jim Gilmore.

Maybe nice guys ... but NONE really serious about getting elected President.


At least Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum have had the grace and dignity to drop-out.



All Dr. Ben Carson wants to do is whine about BLOWING his (once incredible) Iowa lead ...

Maybe Dr. Ben Carson can go contemplate his "political stupidity" in one of those Egyptian Pyramid Grain Silos ...
