" Now we know why Cruz's daughter wouldn't hug him. "

You need to tap the breaks on that line of attack.

There are plenty of issues to address, no need to go after his relationship with his daughter.

Now we know why Cruz’s daughter wouldn’t hug him. He’s so slimy she was afraid she’d slip off.

Thank you for you "input."

Still being slimy. No news story ever said Carson dropped out. Yet the Cruz spin is that they were “repeating” news stories. Bull. They made up that Carson was dropping out of the race and said people should vote for Cruz instead. So they continue the lie by promoting a false narrative of what happened.

Or maybe she's (ie: Cruz's daughter) a normal kid not enjoying the grueling presidential campaign...

I've wondered about that. Most candidates with young children aren't keeping them on the campaign trail with them. Why isn't Heidi home with the kids, if they don't have a better solution to keep their lives as normal as possible?

Exactly. The Trumpettes are breathlessly waiting for a "witness".. any "witness" .. to come forward to substantiate their wild-eyed claims, not unlike Jesse Jackson's cabal of justice warriors' waiting and hoping for someone to back their claims of racism on election day in 2000.

So has Cruz rescinded his apology? He should have apologized for that voter violation scam. And the spam emails saying he had no campaign money left.

A lot of blame has to go to Carson on this. He let it be known that he was skipping NH and SC and heading home for a fresh pair of clothes... RIGHT BEFORE THE CAUCUS STARTS!!! Rookie mistake. His spokesperson should have been very clear:

“While Mr. Carson has no intention whatsoever of leaving this race, the grueling schedule of his campaign forces him to travel home for a day or two before heading back out on the road.”

How hard was that???

Ted’s team lied to get an advantage. That’s politics, and it’s a dirty ugly game.

With that said... And I HATE to say this... But Donald Trump lost Iowa because his supporters just didn’t show up.

Now Trump should concentrate on NH and SC. If he wins those two states he’s in the running for the big show in Super Tuesday.

Based on the effectiveness of his campaign, I'm sure plenty of voters were under the impression he dropped out long ago.

“That’s what Lee Atwater’d do”

“Who are you?”
“Lee Van Cleef”
“Lee Van Cleef? Get the **** outta here!”

I will charitably assume that you aren't a Trump supporter, so I would guess that you must be a Carson supporter.

I would urge you to be more careful about Carson (not to mention Trump and Rove). All of Carson's N.H. campaign staff reportedly just left the Carson campaign and moved over as volunteers for Cruz. Whatever happened in the Iowa debacle, the N.H. Carson guys evidently did not think Cruz's role in it was especially egregious.

No secret Rove has it out for Cruz for being too conservative.
