Because Branstad loves him some ethanol subsidy Trump.

[txnativegop]

Posting this really? Like I have not seen the last 50 on this topic.

[Durbin]

Sounds like he’s still mad because his fellow Iowans went for Cruz over his endorsement of Trump.

[Jewbacca]

King Korn is angry that his subjects did not bow before him.

[GodGunsGuts]

Way to use your office to interfere with the Republican primary!

[The_Victor]

Politics is a blood sport. You don’t take the field in an NFL game and whine about how hard they hit. Pull up your big boy pants or take a seat on the sideline.

[dynoman]

Denial is a dirty river running strong and deep here on FR.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

So Cruz is pretty much OK, having visited all 99 counties, ohn and there’s that thing about winning, but because he’s anti-ethanol, he’s a skunk?

What a miserable POS.

[Jane Long]

Interesting that Branstad is voicing concern over the dirty tricks now, too. Maybe the voters in IA will have a say.

[pgyanke]

Because Branstad is an unbiased observer... not.

Can someone get the hook for this jerk?

Or at least turn the spotlight off, so he's standing on a darkened stage.

Reporter: Do you regret, uh, announcing that that you were going to be going back to Florida and spurring some of this confusion?

Carson: Well, I didn’t make that announcement. Uh, I guess somebody talked to … other people…

Reporter: Well, your campaign told the press.

Carson: You know, *I* didn’t say it, so don’t blame me. [laughing]

Reporter: But you’re here telling us that people should know what’s going on in their campaign and hold people accountable, I mean that’s [crosstalk]

Carson: Well, let me ask you this question, is it okay after being on the road for after three weeks to go home to Florida and get a fresh change of clothes? Or is that a problem? Does that make someone into an evil, horrible person?

..... So, to summarize:

Carson admits his own campaign staffer talked to the media and said he was going to Florida.
Carson takes no responsibility for the actions of this staffer.
Cruz staffer tweeted a media report based entirely on what the aforementioned staffer said.
According to Carson, Cruz should take responsibility for that staffer.

---

So Carson knew his campaign leaked this to the press. Then got angry that it snowballed from there.... He is kinda burrying the lead here isn't he.

And going home to get a change of clothes? Is Iowa or New Hampshire so rural that he can't send staff or go himself to buy some more clothes?

The sore loser is upset his lies against Cruz didnt work

[hoosiermama]

It’s the type of person CRUZ employed

.......
Jeff Roe, Cruz’s campaign manager, pulled the exact same dirty trick with another candidate a few years ago.

“An e-mail sent to news media outlets and a “tweet” issued by a fake Twitter account announced that Eckersley had suspended his campaign due to personal reasons.

Eckersley blames his opponent, Republican Billy Long, for sending out the hoax days before the election,

“You know this is dirty politics. This is Jeff Roe style management. That’s who Billy’s retained. That’s who he writes the big checks to,” Eckersley tells Missourinet affiliate KTTS.

Unethical and unfair tactics in politics?

Say it ain’t so!

[catfish1957]

Wow, that some long term butt hurt there Pandermeister .

Enough with the duplicate threads, Enlightened1.

This one was posted at 2:52pm today.

You didn't even bother to look.

You know, we Trumpkins can point the finger all day long at the Cruzers, but we have to keep our side of the room clean, too.

[Salvation]

**Branstad says Cruz employed ‘unethical and unfair’ tactics Monday night (AUDIO)**

Ditto!

[txrefugee]

So Branstad should sue the Iowa Republican Party for not passing rules that ban whatever tactics were so objectionable. There are no such rules in the GOP party standards.Because these caucuses are not elections, they are not covered under state or federal election laws, as per Judge Napolitano. Bully Branstad is just a sore loser who wants attention.

So long as he'll do the same to the democrats, Iran, Russia and China I don't give a @#%!

I don't want a president, I want a wrecking ball and I want it point at all of the hopes and dreams of lefties EVERYWHERE...
