First it was the Clinton like intimidation letter scolding voters because Ted Cruz decided their past refusal to vote in the Iowa caucuses made them bad citizens. That was a planned eleventh hour “Oops that NEVER should have happened; why that’s terrible,†dirty trick worthy of Hillary and Bill Clinton.
Then on election night Cruz super supporter Republican Congressman Steve King – (a self- identified enemy of amnesty who has no trouble overlooking the pro amnesty Club For Growth’s support for Cruz) decided that Cruz needed another thumb on the scale and spread a lie about Ben Carson dropping out of the race with this tweet, “Carson looks like [he] is out. Iowans need to know before they vote. Most will go to Cruz, I hope.†Now In true Clinton style, Cruz apologized to Carson, but of course it comes after the fact.
Cruz said, “What the team should have done is send around the follow-up statement from the Carson campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race when that came out. That was a mistake from our end, and for that I apologize to Dr. Carson.†In another Clintonian “Not me, It wasn’t me†statement Cruz tried to blame CNN for the “innocent mistake.†Cruz has said that CNN reported Carson was leaving the race; but CNN says, “No, we didn’t say that.â€
More than this, Carson’s wife “Candy†actually heard the lie being spread in a polling place in Ankeny. According to a report in the Dailymail, Mrs. Carson “actually walked in, on it being said,[and] gave a speech about no, he’s still in the race and that’s a lieâ€

It was wrong for Cruz to have done that mailing list, however as for Carson I think there is much more to the story and will come out later.
As for liars, not too sure what part you are referring to.
If I understand this correctly, CNN made an innocent mistake, but in providing information based on CNN’s “innocent mistake” the Cruz campaign has become dirty?
Sorry, politics is a blood sport. Cruz recognized the mistake and apologized.
On the other hand, Trump is whining again. He sounds like Obama, just with more business sense. I don’t want a President who will spend the next 8 years blaming everyone and everything for his ego trip. Been there, done that, didn’t get the promised $2,500 for my health care.
I do not know if you are correct or not, but I do love your tagline and that is spot on.
Coach is still drinking the kool-aid. For him all data is filtered through the “Trump is awesome and Cruz is scum” filter to keep his world coherent, delusional but coherent.
... Liars lie - any questions?
Sure. Why do you NEVER acknowledge any of little donnie’s lies? Or his flip flops? Or his disrespect for all who do not kiss his butt? How do you ignore his record?
Where are the posts on donnie’s policies?
What made you put your blind trust in a progressive and nitpick others for specks of dust?
Saying “Cruz is playing dirty tricks” all the time doesn’t make it so.
Ben Carson clearly said he was taking a break, and left Iowa. It was fine for the Cruz campaign to inform Cruz staff about CNN’s report to this effect.
That is not “playing dirty tricks.” It’s politics.
GOPe= Cruz’s turn in Iowa; Rubio’s turn now, bye bye Cruz....
Both Coach and “sundance” — both are all-in for Trump, and absolutely HATE everyone who challenges Trump.
Yeah, I have one ...
Since you state on your home page .."My blog is coachisright.com.. why do you keep fishing for hits by posting excerpts instead of full the full articles? Inquiring minds want to know.
Desperate people do desperate things.
“If I understand this correctly, CNN made an innocent mistake, but in providing information based on CNN’s “innocent mistake†the Cruz campaign has become dirty?”
It is not believable that the Cruz team doesn’t have the cell phone numbers of the Carson team. Wouldn’t the rational thing for the Cruz team to do if they heard Carson was dropping out, would be to communicate with the Carson team to get an endorsement?
Sorry, I’m not buying the spin by the Cruz team...
I used to like this Collins guy.
Recent Trump tweets make up horrible lies about people taking money and/or begging for jobs from him. They easily proved with a paper trail that they did not - the two most recent are Bob Vander Plaats and Cheri Jacobus. He's disgusting. How you defend THIS defamation is beyond me. I don't understand.
What? There is no support for amnesty from Cruz or most his supporters.
The butthurt is strong in this one.
Liar's lie ...I agree.
Once again I will let Senator Sessions address the issue of the position Senator Cruz during the Gang of Eight.
Sessions says he is "flabbergasted" there are people like you that still insist Cruz supported amnesty during the 2013 fight in congress (during the Gang of Eight).

What you said.
If someone said Theo is all in and hates anyone challenges Cruz then would that be correct and OK?
I ask because I and others are sick of comments attacking each other while the establishment gets their guy Rubio into pole position..
Sounds like a psycho fixing to "Paul Ryan" his fans.
You don’t like him now because he supports someone you do not like?
Is that correct?
Seems to me he possibly could have verified the story but in any event it is good for the election process for Cruz to win in Iowa. The rest can be sorted out as the primaries move on. Do we really know how this inadvertency changed the outcome in the first place? What about a Cruz Carson ticket?
Stuff it! You know damn well the Cruz’s team cheated. Don’t be so damn foolish.
