The Canadian Clinton realizes the exposed scheme has the potential to reveal his true character so he goes immediately to the old reliable “I didn’t know” routine.
“Last night when our political team saw the CNN post saying that Dr. Carson was not carrying on to New Hampshire and South Carolina, our campaign updated grassroots leaders just as we would with any breaking news story. That’s fair game. What the team then should have done was send around the follow-up statement from the Carson campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race when that came out. his was a mistake from our end, and for that I apologize to Dr. Carson.”… (read more)
Oh look, another “accident”, another “mistake”, another inadvertent “misstatement”.
He didn’t know he was Canadian. He didn’t know he was voting for TPA. He didn’t know the money he gave the NRSC was used to attack Chris McDaniel. He didn’t know he missed the Goldman Sach’s FEC filing on campaign finance. Notice a pattern?…
The campaign manager, Rick Tyler, and all other participants in the campaign team, then immediately begin obfuscating and manipulating events – belittling Dr. Carson. It’s just how they roll.
The important aspect most people do not internally emphasize or accept is that Ted Cruz’s followers are approximately 15-20% of the Republican primary electorate. They are about 5% of the national electorate….. and these are mostly really nasty people.
The Cruz Clan will never vote for any other candidate in a general election. If they don’t get to vote for the messiah they stay home. It’s all Ted Cruz at all costs, and nothing else matters. That allows them to disconnect from the deception that stands as a necessary foundation for the Cruz campaign.
Hence the psychological manipulation, the need to rely on Cambridge Analytica, and the constant need to go back to the captured audience for money. The plate is passed around the same congregation over-and-over-and-over. Throwing the ju-ju-bones is a familiar technique amid all of the snake handlers and most professionally religious constructs.
However, there is an upside to acceptance. If Ted Cruz does not win the GOP nomination, none of the Cruz Clan will vote in the general election, they never do. They have such a short-sighted narrow view of issues, if they don’t get “their leader” they stay home.
When you accept they will never vote for anyone else, you realize you can stop worrying about their always tender sensibilities. The GOPe have known this for years, and take a dismissive approach to the ‘nuts-over-there‘. When John McCain says “whacko-birds”, it’s the Clan of the Cruz he’s referring to.
Lonely people. Socially isolated.
Nasty people.
Describe in your own words the tactics. Support your argument with direct quotes.
For a supposedly Brilliant man, Cruz is sore prone to Mistakes.
Of course, if Cruz is the nominee, I'll vote for him.
Either you agree or you don’t, it’s not my job to educate you.
I don’t think some of them are mistakes. Certainly not this one with Carson.
I don't agree with you and I'm educated on the topic.
The problem is that you throw out a claim and refuse to support your claim.
Here is CNN’s report which aired 15 minutes before the caucuses and led the Cruz team to think Carson was about to suspend his campaign. If Sundance ha any interest in being objective he needs to look at what CNN was reporting at the time. Here 8s a link to video of the CNN report. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1085531334800368&id=100000305365400&_rdr
I didn’t expect you to agree. The problem is you expect me to do your bidding and I’m not going to waste my time placating you. That’s a fools errand.
trumpdance with a misleading headline? He should apply to CNN.
However, even if this was done with malicious intent, it falls far short of murder, serial rape, sale of national security secrets, perjury, obstruction of justice, and other improprieties that the Clintons could be accused of with apparent justification.
IF (big if) Cruz himself sent it with the intent of hurting Carson unjustly, it still falls far short of the criminal weight class either the Clintons or Obama are in.
Who will the Canadian schlong in New Hamshire?
Good point.
Objection! Leading question presupposes unethical behaviour on the part of the defendant.
No. You made a charge. You said that what Cruz did to Carson was a Clinton tactic.
And when I ask you to support this remarkable claim, you refuse do it.
Instead you blame me for asking you to support your claim.
What's a fools errand is wasting time with you, taking your claim seriously.
The CNN report says he’s going home to Florida for a couple days and then to DC for the National Prayer Breakfast. They said nothing about him dropping out. The Cruz campaign just made that up. Had they been honorable they would have checked with Carson directly to verify their phony claim. Did they, if so, what did Carson say?
OK, don’t waste anymore time with me, suits me fine.
That doesn't mean that I won't comment on your posts. I just won't look for any participation back from you.
I agree with you about the level the Clintons go to is above what Cruz has done. I guess my point is the Clintons wouldn’t bat an eye doing exactly the same thing that Cruz did and have probably done it or something similar multiple times over the years.
Read post 58, maybe that will help you along a little bit.
Got any proof of that?
