Donald Trump, Ted Cruz Campaigns Bash RNC for Stacking Audience with Pro-Amnesty Donor Class
Breitbart ^ | 02/1/16 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 02/13/2016 11:11:00 PM PST by Enlightened1

Repeatedly throughout the debate, the audience cheered as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his protegé

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) consistently and repeatedly made the case to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, while the audience oddly booed both Trump and
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as they made eloquent cases against amnesty.

“I don’t think it’s representative of the people of South Carolina,” Lewandowski added. “Those who don’t have the resources to give large sums of money to the RNC didn’t get a ticket here tonight and that’s a shame on the RNC.”

Trump’s campaign was hardly the only one upset with how the debate turned out as it relates to how audience tickets are handed out. Both Reps.

Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC)

and

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)

bashed the establishment for stacking the audience with donor class folks not representative of America or of South Carolina’s electorate. Duncan and Meadows have both endorsed Cruz for president and were representing his campaign in the spin room.

“I was a little disappointed in CBS and the moderators in that they kind of let the debate and the crowd get out of control,” Duncan told Breitbart News, adding that the pro-amnesty cheers and boos aren’t representative of his state.

“It doesn’t represent the voters of South Carolina,” Duncan said. “Definitely, the room was stacked for Rubio—there’s no doubt about it, especially from where I was sitting

It's as if a bunch of Lindsey Graham clones were in attendance.

my wife watched this tripe. She told me the crowed was booing Cruz on immigration.

it baffled me for only a second, then i told her the audience is stacked with RINOs.

I had to explain to her what that was :)

she’s learning fast though.

She wasn’t nearly as upset as I was over Scalia.

But she’s only half Italian so i forgive her :)

I thought the first article I saw about Trump’s statement on Scalia was some kind of Satire.

that made no sense but I just didn’t want to believe it could be true. :(

My heart is broken.

The Trump statement was classy, and Scalia deserved it.

If you are smart you don’t give a guy like Trump ammunition, but they aren’t smart. Neither is Ted and Jeb, they handed ammunition to Trump too. Trump’s gonna take it and use it. Shouldn’t be a surprise.

Because of the stacked audience Trump was able to close with a statement that was probably the best closing statement in all of the debates.

They even booed when Trump said he lost 100 friends on 9-11.

You could tell from the reaction when the candidates were first introduced that they were there for Rubio and Bush.

They went rabid when he pointed out that Lindsey polled a zero. Was like Dracula seeing sunlight.

Did you see the thread regarding some people already wondering if there was foul play. I posted a couple of comments there.

There doesn’t seem to be any formal suspicion yet; but the Drudgereport.com is reporting “no cause of death has been stated yet”. However, his symptoms, just not feeling well, could very well be a heart attack. I do not know if he has ever had any heart issues, but I suppose that is possible.

I agree with you .. I am grieving too .. he was so strong on the Court, and now we need him more than ever.

how sad is Lindsey(I vote against him in the primaries) that he would have most likely come in behind Dr. Carson in SC if he had stayed in

Is she not American born, or is she just not political?

I was literally crying when I found out about Scalia. Talk about being blindsided. This has been a really bad day all around.

If there was foul play I’m gonna be in a Luca Brasi kind of mood for quite a while.

They are stopping at nothing and we must be willing to do the same if it comes to it

she’s not as political as me and does not understand the implications at all.

I started explaining them to her tonight. She is beginning to understand. She is trying.

You're not the only one.

Not only do I mourn a great man, I weep for my country and I fear for my granddaughters future.
