Paragraphs are our friend ....

I am a registered voter in Precinct 19 in Cedar Rapids.

On the night of the caucus, my first, I arrived early. Precinct 19 and 21 were in a side room of the convention center while other precincts were in other parts of the hotel.

I arrived at 06:40 and almost immediately and Rand Paul arrived and gave a 7 minute speech.

Ted Cruz arrived right after Paul all by himself.

I saw him come around the door and our eyes met. I shook hands with him and told him it was nice to meet him.

He was friendly and seemed comfortable standing next to me against the wall towards the back of the room.

He was behind his supporters who did not notice him and I think he wanted it that way for a while so he could make his speech and such.

I stood right next to him during the time he was waiting to speak. He seemed a little nervous as I was behind him.

He spent most of his time with his head against the wall looking down at the floor and kind of out of the corner of his eye he would check me once in a while.

At first I thought he was nervous about me being so close to him.

It didn't hit me until later what he was doing with his head down against the wall checking me because I don't have a smart phone.

Then later after hearing about the hit on Carson it came to me.

He (Ted Cruz) was checking his smart phone almost at the exact time there would have been all those messages from staffers and such.

I was there, I saw it. I am a registered voter and a Trump supporter.

Cruz did not mention anything about Carson in his speech to us. His speech was longer than 7 minutes.

No way he didn't know about the hit on Carson. Ask me what he was wearing.

====================================================

Question-1 : So Ted Cruz didn't even mention Ben Carson ?

That "fact" confirms that Ted Cruz (personally) was NOT trying to sabotage Ben Carson's (flailing) campaign.

Otherwise, Ted Cruz would have personally mentioned the CNN News Report (as forwarded by Marco Rubio's staff).

Question-2 : Did the observer actually see Ted Cruz using his cellphone, or does the observer merely assume that Ted Cruz is using his cellphone ?

Question-3 : The observer refers to the alleged "hit" on the Ben Carson Campaign.

A) Is the observer's "hit" reference about Donald Trump calling Ben Carson a murderous psychopath ?

B) Is the observer's "hit" reference about Ben Carson's campaign leadership QUITTING before the Iowa vote ?

C) Is the observer's "hit" reference about CNN (Wolf Blitzer, et al) saying that Ben Carson's announced post-Iowa Florida visit "very peculiar" ?

D) Is the observer's "hit" reference about Iowa Voters DISCOVERING that Ben Carson's campaign bus had been traveling around Iowa EMPTY as a public relations charade ?

====================================================

I will state a "truth".

If Dr. Ben Carson wasn't black, his sorry-@ss fraudulent political campaign would have been booed off the American national stage MONTHS ago.

Dr. Ben Carson's behavior is EXACTLY like O.J. Simpson's Ford Bronco ride down the L.A. Freeway ... a DESPERATE last-minute GRASP at fame and fortune.

At two GOP Debate Watch Parties (Quaker Steak & Lube, St. Pete, FL) I have openly praised Dr. Ben Carson and encouraged all attendees to watch his movie "Gifted Hands", although I am an official Ted Cruz Florida Campaigner.

Having said that, Dr. Ben Carson, as brilliant as he is, has run a disasterous Presidential Campaign.

Dr. Ben Carson is now whining about a pathetic fourth-place Iowa finish, BLOWING his previous 4-week straight Iowa polling lead.

And of course, it's ALL Ted Cruz's fault.

I now see Dr. Ben Carson as a political dip-$hiT.

That's right. Dip-$hiT.

Why ?

Dr. Ben Carson's Deer-in-the-Headlight look entering the New Hampshire debate stage was pathetic.

It looked weird. Very strange.

After learning that Ben Carson had an EMPTY campaign bus driving around Iowa, I suspected that Ben Carson might not even ENTER the debate hall.

Donald Trump came to Ben Carson's rescue (the poor whittle thing) and helped Ben Carson walk-out onto the stage.

And Dr. Ben Carson has the AUDACITY to believe that he's sane / emotionally-stable enough to open up the Nuclear Launch Suitcase ?

And then there's his whiney-ass "poor whittle me" slap in the face "act" toward the SECOND public apology offered by Ted Cruz.

I will state a "truth".

If Dr. Ben Carson wasn't black, his sorry-@ss fraudulent political campaign would have been booed off the American national stage MONTHS ago.

And of course, EVERYTHING wrong with Dr. Ben Carson's campaign is Ted Cruz's fault.

What a crock !

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Donald Trump called Ben Carson a violent psychopath ... and Ben Carson did a lousy job of fighting back (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson embraced a lunatic theory about Egyptian Pyramids (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson suspended his Presidntial campaign for two week to promote Carson's new book (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that one-half of Ben Carson's campaign team leadership QUIT two weeks before the Iowa vote (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson wasted two weeks on a STUPID Middle East visit, instead of campaigning in all of Iowa's 99 counties (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Dr. Ben Carson's debate performances have been PATHETIC ... or worse (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Dr. Ben Carson announced that Carson was leaving Iowa for a Florida trip (and NOT campaigning in Iowas) ... (/sarcasm-off).

Picture yourself as an Iowa Caucus Voter.

If CNN had floated a political rumor that Donald Trump was going to suspend his campaign after Iowa ... NO ONE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT.

Why ?

Donald Trump (like him or not) is a GENUINELY serious Presidential candidate.

If CNN had floated a political rumor that Marco Rubio was going to suspend his campaign after Iowa ... NO ONE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT.

Why ?

Marco Rubio (like him or not) is a GENUINELY serious Presidential candidate.

In the 2016 GOP Presidential race, Dr. Ben Carson is simply a black version of Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, and Jim Gilmore.

Maybe nice guys ... but NONE really serious about getting elected President.

At least Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum have had the grace and dignity to drop-out.

Dr. Ben Carson's behavior is EXACTLY like O.J. Simpson's Ford Bronco ride down the L.A. Freeway ... a DESPERATE last-minute GRASP at fame and fortune.

All Dr. Ben Carson wants to do is whine about BLOWING his (once incredible) Iowa lead ...

Maybe Dr. Ben Carson can go contemplate his "political stupidity" in one of those Egyptian Pyramid Grain Silos ...
