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 like both Trump and Michelle Bachman.
What’s he going to do, Chrissy? Tie a battery to your leg so he can remotely send chills up your leg?
âIn every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is error alone that needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.â

btw, does anyone know why I get funny symbols on quotes when I cut and paste?
I like how you used the term “fascist Left”. We need to put that into common usage.
I’m laughing my head off and I’m a Trump supporter. :^D
“I support Cruz because I am a Constitutionalist.”
Many believe he has the Evangelical support because he’s a Christian, which I appreciate him for that — but that’s not why I started out supporting him. I wasn’t looking for a Christian candidate, simply one who would get us back on track after nearly 8 long years.
There’s much vitriol here lately. I try to stay out of it, but just this past week, I was informed that I’m going to hell for supporting Cruz.
and then I cut and paste it again out of the bottom box?
“Spoiled brat cry baby Trump”
man, you guys are messing up, the talking points that were handed out by Team Cruz are “spoiled petulant child Trump”
back to Sunday school for you
“I support Cruz because I am a Constitutionalist.”
I support Trump because I believe in the Constitution, and Cruz was not born on American soil, nor was he born to parents serving our country in foreign lands.
I cannot vote for a foreigner to be President of the United States.
(oh, and I wouldn’t have voted for McCain in any event)
I came to that impression of Trump entirely on my own. I don’t pay attention to slogans, or things like that. I form my own opinions.
You say that the Trump people are getting worse, but you and the other Cruzers are working yourselves into a frenzy over Trump as you attempt to one-up one another with Trump insults. Confusing.
Yes! You got it!
And the point still stands, unrefuted.
Trump is the king of insults. He insults everyone. That is everyone except Obama, Pelosi, Reid, KGB Putin, Castro,...
I think we should rename “Nixonian” as “Clintonian.” Because if anyone ever topped Nixon in the dirty tricks business, it was Billy Boy and his wife. Right down to having the creepiest, slimiest people imaginable around them (Carville, Lanny Davis, the McDougalls...)
Heaven help us if she gets elected...
“Cruz it taking contributions from the Las Vegas Wynn family. So I guess you canât vote for him either. ;-)”
I’m fine with that, as long as you are consistent. Rubio is taking from Adelson. Some are taking from the Koch brothers. All I’m saying is be careful throwing stones in a glass house.
“All I know is that Ted âDirty Teddyâ Cruzio is âThe Face Of God (trademarked)â
Dear Lord Trump, forgive all us heathen Cruz believers for ever having doubted your benevolence and goodness and utter superiority to everything in this world. Truly, you have parted the waters and shown all your merciful face, but strike down the nasty, sleazy, cheating, lying Cruz followers and send them to everlasting hell for thou art perfect.
Amen
P.S. Vote for Trump, or he will call you a liar too.
Or munch on a carrot (like Bugs Bunny).
“Trump is only on his second trophy wife. “
Ha! I’m a Vegas guy. We used to call them “high priced hookers”. But that would probably set the dogs after me if I pointed that out.
