Cruz and his campaign staff did nothing unethical, illegal or even immoral in Iowa and all of the contrived indignation to the contrary does not make it so.

If this smuch wins the nomination, I will stay at home and enjoy a good book on election day. Many will say that I’m giving my vote to the democrats ... I see little difference between Trump and the democrats. So, I don’t give a crap what others think.
More than that? Not so much.
Think of H->! vs. Trump as a second ‘Rat Primary....
The problems with America cannot be solved by nuance and finesse. Things have been neglected for so long we need a hammer. Hulk smash. Mommy has been in charge for so long we all can’t wait for daddy to get home. Asses will sting.
It’s still early in the game.
Must Stop Rubio should be the game plan.
I’d almost vote for the mailmans son over the high speed Memorizer Bunny
Bottom of the first inning and we’re proclaiming defeat?
What happened to the America I grew up to defend?
Cruz hurt Cruz......his lack of integrity in handling the Carson ‘gossip’ in Iowa showed extremely poor judgment
Rather than be up front and verify....
He and his handlers chose the low road
Sad pyrrhic victory, indeed.
Cannot wait to see President Trump take office! A true-life verison of Hank Rearden, a businessman-citizen-President who will make America great again!
It is far from clear that Trump will win the nomination. Let the votes be cast before declaring winners.
We’ll see.
Still early.
Before Cruz can be considered as the nominee, he must show that he can beat Trump in the primary. If he can’t win in the GOP primaries, he doesn’t deserve to be the nominee.

The back and forth bickering definitely bothers me. What I really hoped for was a Trump/Cruz ticket, with Cruz gathering credibility in the VP position as the next heir apparent. Sadly that seems no longer possible.
If Trump wins, I don’t see how he can be worse than a Bush or Rubio. The GOP is chock full of traitorous snakes who say one thing and do the exact opposite in office. I’m in favor of taking a wrecking ball to the GOPe, and Trump seems like the man for the job. That’s not an endorsement, but I think it explains Trump’s popularity.
I don’t agree that we’ve blown it just yet.
I’m going to write Cruz in. I won’t hold my nose again.
Uh huh.
Because all democrats want to build a wall, expel the illegals, ban all Muslim immigration and build up the military and kick ass with it.
Yep
I’m not going to be surprised no matter which way it goes tomorrow.
Nor disappointed.
The silver lining is that we just may be rid of Jeb after tomorrow.
Cruz apologized at the first opportunity. Given the CNN report, almost anyone, myself included, would have concluded Carson was quitting. In the fog of war, I too would have told caucus goers to not waste their vote on Carson, but to vote for Cruz.
It is hardly “slimey” and Cruz didn’t “lie” about it. That Trump and Rubio have gotten away with making Cruz out to be a “liar” and nasty guy, is only because the mainstream press wants this meme to stain Cruz and take him out.
I obviously Stand With Ted, but I don’t think these observations are crazily biased. Just my opinion, though.

Don’t give up hope. The fat lady hasn’t sang yet.
