Good catch jpsb! So telling to hear all this spinning, even after their saint up and apologized. What is he apologizing for if there was no dirty deed? Going through the motions Teddy? Keeping his angel creed?

More will come, this isn’t his first dumb error and won’t be his last.

Does anyone have any idea of how many votes Cruz got by spreading the false story that Carson was dropping out after Iowa?

According to the entrance polls taken as people entered the caucus (before they heard the incorrect report), the percentage of people planning to vote for Carson was 9%. After the caucus, the percentage of people that voted for Carson was 9%. So there was little to no effect on the outcome. As much as you would like to blame Trump's loss on some sort of chicanery, Trump managed to lose this one all on his own.

I see it the exact same way as you do, and cutting their own throats is a talent they’ve perfected. Coming from a fellow Christian, they really grate on me.

Bwahahaha, that’s the truth! Actually, it’s going to come out being the little boy Rubio in the end.

Amen! So thankful for your reasoned comments, they should be spread all across this site. It’s so easy a child could do it, playing from the same hand book over and over - well done Rove and company.

It’s Rubio, of this I have no doubt. Yesterday sealed it for me. Though we certainly expected it, the glaring truth is there in all it’s glory.

Sorry you missed the context of the quote.

I didn't miss the purpose. First salvo in his litany of excuses on why he came in second.

Please explain. Is it a bad thing for Congress to exercise its authority?

"...Cruz voted NAY. Directly saying he did not want congress to be consulted before other countries, namely CHINA, could join TPP..."

Senator Ted Cruz Did Support TPA - and Secretary Kerry asked China To Join TPP a Week ago...

>> hose were polls, which have proved useless <<

Therefore, all of Trump’s bragging about his lead in the polls is hogwash? Got it.

And by inference all claims ha can’t do well vs Hillary are similarly “hogwash.” Thanks for reiterating that point.

Of course.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Live by the polls, die by the polls.

You know how you get people to show up and vote for imperfect candidates...

You invest in GOTV... not big rallies that ‘feel good.’

Romney failed at GOTV... it’s his fault. Just like Carson ‘going home to do laundry’ and all subsequent confusion is his fault.

Carson wasn’t at fault at all. You just don’t want to admit your candidate is highly flawed.

Really? Then knock it off about the cheating or whatever and get on to New Hampshire.
