Shapiro turned out to be a cucked up tool. Glad to see him gone.

The masks are ALL coming off.

Team Trump echoes James Carville.

Positively Clintonian.

Fire the man. Convict him. Throw him in jail.

You’ve got enough evidence, don’t you?

Who knows how long those bruises were there? She probably had someone grab her the night before so she could perpetuate this fraud.

I guess you answered your own question in typical Trumpian logic. If you don't know what happened, just assume everyone is out to get Trump and will say or do anything to get him so. Paranoids for Trump!

... it appears that Fields has made a false accusation against Lewandowski, and it would have been a Secret Service agent who restrained her as required by their duty.

Then why did that secret service agent not admit restraining her? Trump has said the secret service told him they didn't see anything happen to her.

Rush never endorses anyone in the primaries. What makes you think that he was at the Sea Island event?

“Then why did that secret service agent not admit restraining her? Trump has said the secret service told him they didn’t see anything happen to her.”

Probably because none of the agents noticed their interaction with Fields due to the crush of people around Trump. I suspect Fields was grabbed by the arm by one of the Secret Service agents or someone else other than Lewandowski, but we cannot know that for sure either. Fields has a past history of making false claims against a number of other officials such as West. For all we know she could have cooked up a scheme and bruised her own arm to make it look good. I doubt that she did, but her past reputation makes it conceivable. In any case, look carefully at the haircuts and the shirts. At present the man I saw in the videos could not have been Lewandowski, and we know the Washington Post reporter flat out lied and then deleted his post to hide the evidence of his lie. Furthermore, whatever did happen was so minor and trivial, Fields should be ashamed of herself for even mentioning such a trivial affair, much less try to smear a political campaign with such trumped up charges.

Are you sure about that? I'm not aware of anyone proving or even suing her for defamation. You seem to be jumping to quite a number of unsupported conclusions to defend a man (Trump) who called his supporters "poorly educated".

What makes you think he wasn't there?

Read his brother's columns that have been posted here.

He is begging people to drop Trump and support Cruz.

My theory: the best possible news for Trump would be a Rush endorsement of Cruz.

I don't like Rush anymore, and I sense that more than a few FReepers don't like him much anymore either.

“You seem to be jumping to quite a number of unsupported conclusions ....”

You sound just like a Democrat and Hillary Clinton with the baseless and false accusation of being “unsupported” directly in the face of the video evidence and other evidence to the contrary. Ted Cruz is all about lie and deny, lie and deny, and lie, lie, lie some more; and here you are doing a fine imitation of Hillary Clinton on behalf of Lying Ted Cruz.

Trump is the only person who has run a clean campaign

+++++++

Yep, equating Carson to a child molestor, calling candidates names, threathening to sue candidates and accusing candidates of not being Americans or Christian is sooo running a clean campaign...not!

Now you’ve gone way of the rails with your senseless insults. Please take a few long even breaths and try to get your perspective back.

I looked at that Sea Island story again, and it dawned on me that you are probably right about him not being there.

It is difficult to imagine that someone like Tim Cook would waste even one minute of his precious time in any kind of meeting with this creep.

Mea culpa, you nailed it. +1 to you

You mean the RINO part of the GOPe? There are still a few conservatives left in the party like Sen Mike Lee.

Many of the ones elected 2 years ago sold us a bill of goods on being conservatives. I like to look at which known Conservative Orgs support a candidate and why, and how they vote on major legislation. It bothers me when a person running as NO voting record to look at. But does have a very large history of donating money to DEMS and supports PP. When people start attacking Sowell or Krauthammer who are staunch conservatives it is silly. Ann Coulter has become irrational.

We don’t need another DICTATOR after the last nearly 8 years of one.

Still undecided at this point. I want a person who lines up with my Bible and the Constitution. Who will stand up for my rights as a Christian. And do away with all these anti-white history months and Happy Holiday crude it is insulting. Secure the border, kick out all Illegals and Refugees. It is not my place to support them. Let them go over throw their own governments.

I don’t have a racist bone in me, 3 of my great grands are biracial. For that matter most of us are not all that lily white as there were so many biracial births all thru out our history on this earth.

“Krauthammer who are staunch conservatives “

Krauthammer is NOT a conservative. Hell, he started as an extreme left-winger. He still is. he is nothing but an eGOP talking head.
