And he took his tiny fingers and pulled the trigger. Not good.

What happened to your integrity? You left it behind when you moved to Texas?

After reading the articles and the comments posted there... I am a little surprised that 2ndDivisionVet is the one who stated the thread.

The ex-advisors gave him good advice he didn’t take.

People keep posting these saying “Carson brought it on himself,” “it didn’t make a difference in who won,” etc. That’s not the point. Cruz build his support by presenting himself as a principled man, and someone in his campaign did something very, very UNprincipled, on the level of Clinton ops.

Saying “vote for me” is on par with the Clintons? You might want to check for a gas leak in your house.

Hmm, real clear policies average day of vote had Carson under 10%. The pre vote entrance polls, taken before the Cruz campaign “lied” showed Carson getting 10% of vote.

Where did Carson finish after final count - 10%!!!

Lol, the so called dirty trick “lie” didn’t change one vote.

The cultists are desperate and Donald is a sore loser, beta male.

Thanks for your service. You, sir, have the right and obligation to state your opinion unless you are stealing honor — which I do not believe ,Sir. I respectfully disagree, Sir. No /sarc/. GBA!

It really is amazing to me to see seemingly otherwise intelligent, ethical and moral people blame the person who was victimized and defend the perpetrator, because they want to elect the perpetrator to be president.

In fact it blows my mind.

If you can’t see that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio behaved in a dishonorable and opportunistic fashion here, and in a way that is not Christian like, as they both claim to be, then you are simply being dishonest with yourself.

To win at any cost is to lose.

No, saying "Carson is dropping out, vote for Cruz instead," when it wasn't true and had been stated to be untrue by the Carson campaign prior to the caucus, is on a par with the Clintons.

"Lol, the so called dirty trick “lie” didn’t change one vote."

As I said, that doesn't justify anything. Dishonorable is dishonorable, regardless of the end result.

What was dishonorable?

Carson campaign said he was leaving the campaign trial and going home. All political observers know what that means.

The Cruz campaign acted in good faith with the information they were given by CNN.

Yeah, it’s on par with Benghazi, Whitewater, Ron Brown and Vince Foster.

I didn’t say that. I assume you are aware that the Clintons have played plenty of dirty politics that don’t rise to the level of Benghazi.
