It looks like Santorum, Huckabee and Carson will line up to oppose Cruz in the South.

“It looks like Santorum, Huckabee and Carson will line up to oppose Cruz in the South. “

Have Huck and Santorum endorsed Carson?

Funny, MSM and FNC ignore Rubio’s staff doing the same thing. Let’s see do I vote for Cruz or Rubio? Rubio gets the pass, Cruz takes the heat. I pick Cruz! Certainly won’t vote for candidate who posts irrationally on twitter like a scorned school girl.
They should poll how many Iowans would take back their vote for DT.

This is just plain unseemly.

Cruz is being tried, and unfortunately it looks like he’s succumbing to the temptation to act like the currently unbelieving Trump.

Trump may have an excuse of ignorance for this. I’m not so sure about Cruz. The reputation of the gospel won’t suffer because of Trump; it will suffer because of Cruz.

Probably Carson too if he drops out, given Ted’s dirty trick in Iowa. Ted sure knows how to poison the well.

In 2004 Santorum endorsed pro abortion Arlen Spectre over pro life Pat Toomey.

Trump had a genuine conversion to become pro-life.

But Sanctorum also sees that Trump appears solidly to the blue collar voter, hence he is now behind Donald.

Except, of course, Santorum and Huckabee are out of the race and Carson will be on his last few breaths by the time South Carolina rolls around.

But otherwise, yeah.

Not to worry.........all of this will be played out Saturday night and all the skeletons of this story will be available for all to see. The story is not over yet and Rubio has not gotten away with anyone. If nobody else doesn’t bring it up, Christie will. Not to worry.

I think it is because he knew Toomey was for immigration, gays in the military and gun control. He took the least worse which was Spectre who was unfortunately pro choice. Not much of a choice really with either one.
