With New Hampshire in the dust and the 2016 presidential campaign moving southward to the Palmetto State, MSNBC's Chris Matthews tonight sought to paint conservative Republican Senator Ted Cruz as a latter-day Richard Nixon ginning up a bag full of "dirty tricks" for the February 20 South Carolina contest.
Dipping out of live coverage of a Donald Trump campaign rally in Pendelton, S.C., Matthews wondered if the GOP frontrunner was "sort of priming the pump now for some dirty action by the Cruz people?"
"I think he should be, if he's not already," Trump campaign correspondent Katy Tur answered. "The dirty tricks of South Carolina are well known, as we were just talking about," she added, before going over a litany of supposed Cruz "dirty tricks" in the Iowa contest. "Those are child's play when it comes to South Carolina politics," Tur noted, concluding that given how all the other campaigns have seasoned "smart South Carolina operatives" on staff, that if "Trump doesn't see these dirty politics, these dirty games coming his way, then he doesn't have a very good staff."(continued)

It's interesting you mention Michelle Bachmann.
Back in 2011 when Bachmann was running for president, she advocated building a fence along the US/Mexico border and was criticized and even laughed at by many. When she eventually dropped out of the race, Trump had some unkind things to say about her.
By the way, Cruz advocated building a wall between the Texas/Mexico border during his run for senate back in 2012.
Many Trump supporters think Trump is the only one who ever thought of building a wall.
Cruz dirty trick= telling the truth about Donald Trump.
I remember that. Rush had a brief fling with Chris because at one time, believe it or not, Chris was criticizing the Clinton’s.
I can’t remember which of the many scandals Chris was upset about... it may have been the Monica thing.
Anyway, Rush invited Chris on to sub that day and, of course, it was a disaster.
Live and learn, huh, Rush.
Please. Help. I was hoping not to see that face today.
That pouty little mouth. Ugh.
I support Cruz, but that is one ugly baby.
Obviously, Michelle failed to either have sex with the Donald or fawn over him.
He cannot stand women in any kind of power position.
He does not like women unless they: fawn over him, sleep with him, or marry him.
He likes subservient women. That’s why he chooses foreign gals for his wives.
And that’s why he was so bitterly enraged that a woman, a mere television reporter, dared to ask him a question he didn’t like Not particularly defending Megyn Kelly here but that whole hissy fit was beyond ridiculous.
First he gets those short fingers working to tweet out a bunch of insults about her.
Look at the picture here. This is a supposedly serious presidential candidate.
Then he gets on his high horse and thinks he can tell Fox News who should moderate their debate. After all, he is the designated ruler of the universe.
Of course, they refused. Then he boycotted the debate and I use the term ‘boy’ advisedly. He’s kinda like an overgrown frat boy.
But a smart, overgrown frat boy because he quickly glommed onto the idea to have a fund raiser for veterans. Quite the novelty for Trump as he’d never contributed much of anything to them before out of that vast fortune.
And all this ... because he thinks he was disrespected by a mere woman.
That last picture of Trump looks like he is about to say the “F” word.
It does and to thunderous applause from his supporters.
Biff Trump from Back to the Future.
How about we all start looking on the bright side of our candidates? That Cruz has a deep faith in God is very cool in my book. That Trump loves the ladies and runs casinos is very cool in my book. Why cast stones at either of them? They’re both changing the game and, most importantly OBLITERATING the Left’s fascist Political correctness.
How come you didn’t use the standard line...”clutching their pearls?”
And I don’t remember that.
I thought we needed a solid, dependable conservative who could express his beliefs and win people over.
Spoiled brat cry baby Trump
“Biff Trump from Back to the Future.”
Best comparison ever.
Denial
Anger
Bargaining
Depression
Acceptance
The Cruzies are passing Denial and moving to the Anger stage.
Latest Feb 14 South Carolina poll:
Trump 42
Cruz 20
Rubio 15
Kasich 9
Jeb 6
Trump said something about a Ben Carson style robot call going out about Trump. Not sure what the story is.
The ladies and the casinos would be cool if he bore the slightest resemblance to James Bond.
I don’t want him for president. I don’t think he’s mentally or emotionally stable.
I don’t think he has core positions on the things that matter to us.
I think he’ll deal with the dems and the GOPe and they will beat him but flatter him enough so that he thinks he’s winning.
Silly man bothering to declare loans. Doesn’t he know a real man simply defaults and steals the money? No need for additional paperwork.
Thats Great! Creepy, but Great!
I’m not angry.
I’m mad as hell and I’m not gonna take it anymore.
LOL.
