I think there must be an impact from firing your national campaign director for dirty tricks. And Texas is just a week away.
As they said, this is a campaign in trouble. I think SC really shook them. But I keep going back to two weeks before IA: Cruz had folded like a chair prior to IA and I’m convinced now he only won that with an incredible “Iowa-only” ground game that, had things gone on a week longer, wouldn’t have produced the victory.
I keep going back to the fact that contrary to certain predictions around here, Trump got an amazing 38,500 votes in IA, or 8,000 more than Santorum I think. But Cruz’s guys did a great job of getting out the vote even more (plus the Carson dirty tricks).
Point is, Cruz may not have been as strong as he looked coming out of IA anyway.
But, but, but....wasn’t Ted all FOR all of the VERY “dirty tricks” ( in Iowa, N.H. S.C. ) before now being publicly against them? He must know , now, that his poll numbers STINK ON ICE !
They were no dirty tricks in Iowa. Reporting a CNN story is not a dirty trick. Not one voter has been documented to have switched their vote from Carson to Cruz at the caucuses.
Early voting already started.
