We should follow Cruz’s lead, IMO. This is such political theater, drama and hyperbole, created by the Kardashian candidate, to promote HIMSELF. These threads, and whining and screeching from all those having Trumpertantrums, need to be ignored. The more we fight against those who are in lock-step with Trump adn won’t listen anyway, is just wasting our time and causing distress where there doesn’t need to be.

We should be finding ways to come together and unite, and find what we agree on, instead of bickering about who is the most perfect in our opinion.

Just my $.02

Your welcome!

And your points were spot on, especially your point......IF Trump had done this, instead of Cruz

We would NEVER hear the end of it......the MSM would be crowing and Trump would have been run out on a rail

He never catches a break anyway., anywhere.....
....EXCEPT from the citizens of this USA who see in him HOPE

The media and many here on FR have been non stop n ugliness!

I’m so thankful he LOVES our country and her people to keep going....

There is a fire and determination in him that doesn’t burn out......it only increases and strengthens regardless of insult, lie, accusation, etc

I would have given up a long time ago.

GOD BLESS DONALD TRUMP!

The article fails to mention the timeline includes the Rubio camp. A full hour before any communication from the Cruz camp, someone involved with the Rubio campaign first tweeted Carson's imminent departure from the campaign trail.

This all is a bunch of horse manure. The more Trump opens his pie hole, the less respect I have for him. He appears to be a sue happy billionaire. If I don't get my way, I will force my way.

Cruz = helped ObamaTRADE

The Trust is gone.

Gobbledygook! Carson checked out the eve of the caucus and went to Florida to take a shower and change his clothes? That’s rich!

Quit wallowing in a mud hole and get on to the things that are important.

Right, and notice how Greta didn’t even play the clip on her show when she had the Trumpster on last night? Convenient huh?

>>While you obsessives browbeat each other with this irrelevant minutiae, America is burning down.

You’re right. Those Rubio votes didn’t come from disaffected Carson voters. We all need to deal with this very real Rubio/Establishment threat.

They also lied about the content of the 8pm memo. Not once did it use the phrase “dropping out".

King saw the report and said that it "looks like" he's dropping out.

Not once did King say that he knows for a fact that he was dropping out.

And if it was thought that Carson was actually suspending, wouldn’t that push votes to the Trumpster and Rubio too?

Sounds like Cruz cheated, possibly breaking the law... If charges are warranted, then so be it.

Offs -another trumpian internet prosegoober. Can you please cite the specific statute you imagine Cruz guilty of violating?

The actual law, not a "he disrespected and was unfair to Mr. Trump" whinge but a real live law.

Did you notice that there was one campaign that did not knowingly lie about the fake Carson news? The Trump campaign.

I can’t believe all the people willing to say this was Carson’s fault. The Cruz campaign AND the Rubio campaign clearly and actively promoted the notion that Carson was getting out in order to basically steal his votes. Cruz knew it was wrong and apologized for it but of course it was too late and did nothing while it was going on and in fact promoted it. Trump and Carson at least played fair. Too bad they didn’t realize that the two professional politicians, Cruz and Rubio, aren’t afraid to play dirty political tricks.

it’s only part of the full time line.

who or how did Chris moody gain the info and/or choose the wording of his tweet to CNN?

I saw other snap shots of tweets with other times, earlier - unless those were in different time zone than IA.

And what of the Rubio camp involvement too sharing tweets with their voters, which I read in another fr article?

people in general really need to consider their words because we all have unique brains, no two people see or reason things the same exactly, so wording is important to avoid being mistaken.
