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)

I am really amazed at the depth of the hatred for Cruz and the strength of support for Trump on a conservative forum. I support Cruz because I am a Constitutionalist.
It’s the weirdest thing ever.
These Trumpers think that Trump will win the general easily.
I think he has the best chance of all the candidates of shooting himself and us in the foot.
We could lose with this guy.
Never happened.
Robocalls, lol. Poor baby Trump is correct, they will be the end of our Republic.
I agree. There should be no need for anymore Freepathon’s. Trump should fully fund this site for all the disingenuous Republican support he receives here.
It’s the seriousness of the charge, silly.
Boy, times have changed.
This site can’t be funded because the Cruzbots send all their money to Teddy. Heidi demands it 10x a day.
Funding Ted is like tossing money down the toilet.
Oh well, to each his own:)
The lies of the Cruzers prevent any honest discussion from happening. Trump will appoint his sister to the Supreme Court, Trump bulldozed an old lady’s house, Trump was a liberal until 6 months ago. Cruz is anti-immigrant labor even though he supports H1b increases. Cruz didn’t lie about Carson. The shame mailers and fake checks are cool because “everybody does it”. (Except Trump. But that makes him a “lightweight”, not a person who treats voters with respect.)
It’s mind-numbing. I don’t know how these people can claim anything about the “Armor of God”. It’s more like the cannons of bullshit.
...as the potential next POTUS mocks a disabled reporter.
That's just sad. ...New York values, I guess.
Oh, please. Those “purple haired” ladies as you call them are not fools or easily taken in. They love to play the slots. It’s not my cup of tea but to suggest they’re stupid or naive is condescending at best. Since when do conservatives see the world as full of victims? Since Trump came on the scene?

The most accurate description of the Cruz campaign here.
Nixonian is not even close to the every day tricks at the D.N.C. and Whitehouse these days. Nixon is a chump and pansy compared to Clintonistas and Obie-Jar.
