Geez, that was no big deal at all anyway.

This woman is no better than that Crystal Mangum who accused the Duke LaCrosse team of rape.

And of course canadian cruzzie ran with the lie to help propel his campaign.

And with Crudz having made that comment about the candidate being responsible for the culture of his campaign, he personally owns this one too.

Trump is the only person who has run a clean campaign.

He goes out and works for it and has not been the person behind the hanky panky at the polls and all the lies.

Seems some “real conservatives” need to do some soul searching.

If conservative media is being destroyed, it is because they have chosen to take on the habits of the leftist media.

I have no respect for that. Just watching them is an embarrassment.

I don’t know much about him, other than he made some great statements eviscerating the #BLM movement in a debate held by a local TV station in the wake of the recent Baltimore riots. Based on that, I hate to see him involved in this, as he showed a lot of promise.

Here are his highlights from that debate.

the site is funded by Robert Mercer, who is bankrolling a Cruz super-PAC.

Is that right?

What’s Rush going to say tomorrow? Anything? Wasn’t he talking up Michelle Fields’ claims on Friday, as some kind of “problem” for the Trump campaign?

I won't know, because I quit listening to Rush. Jeff Kuhner at WRKO in Boston is in the same time slot and much better for conservative radio.

I wouldn’t ever claim to support the constitution if you are supporting Cruz.

It appears the “pure” Tedabans got caught, on video, in a lie.

Good. He deserves to be gone. The pompous azz is a liar. There is no violence at Trump events that is caused by Trump or his supporters.

The lefthates Trump because he can beat them.

When Breibart was alive this was considered a VERY Conservative reliable news site. Has it become another Salon and Huff-Post propaganda machine?

Fields said the guy assaulted her.

It was a lie, but YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE still pushing the lie. This even though Fields knows she has been busted.

Go back to D.U. Troll. You are certainly no conservative.

I'm sure Ben has a nice fat job waiting at HuffPo; Fields is unemployable after this.

We were condemning Breitbart because Michelle fields is a known liar and it was a trumpet up charge. And we were right..... Again.

What “conservative” media? Look at the politics of the so called media and understand they are ALL in support of the establishment.

So I wonder if Limbaugh and Kelly would apologize for getting it wrong on this in order to attack a Trump?

Well I would not hold my breath for it . At most it will be a brief side note during their show. Then they quickly will want to move away from it. This is after all their bloviating.

I’m sure Limbaugh will be pushing Cruz can win and Kasich in Ohio. Ditto Kelly.
