not my reaction. I was at the 3-hour Weare event.
gotta post the video when I get a chance to figure it out.
Love all the back handed compliments.
Asshats.
Tru enough you would have repeated yourself.
“The first was that I’d seldom heard a voice as ripe with self-regard — as juicy with it — as his.”
Really? Does Frank not listen to Barack Obama speak?
The Cruz people reported a CNN broadcast story. It is true that there was a followup tweet from the Carson campaign clarifying the initial report. Who received it, I don't know. If you were not monitoring the Carson twitterverse, you would not have seen it. CNN, which aired the incomplete report, did not pick up the correction either.
No, he didn’t. And I hated his waterboarding waffle. You could tell he started to speak, rethought it, and then went all PC with with his answer.. And of course, his McCain reference. ugh.
CNN Just called Cruz a flat out liar.
Wow.
There is no doubt that Cruz is the person that both parties least want to win the nomination.
I don't buy that story at all. And even if it's true it doesn't change the facts on this.
Knew that was coming. He is stupid to keep blaming CNN. CNN reported that Carson was not going directly to New Hampshire. They said nothing about ‘suspending campaign’. Cruz people added that...and the voice mails proved it. They flat out lied.
Cruz’s weak answer about waterboarding and John McCain told me all I needed confirmed. He truly is a career politician who will say whatever he thinks will work to get him elected. Same with Rubio.
Yeah CNN has him cold on it. They said they met with him and his staff, so their pissed.
Calling him “a flat out liar”. Wow.

He flip flopped during his own water boarding answer. I’ve not seen that before, during a debate.
“Ted Cruz is inevitable and ineluctable...”
That’s a typo, right? Didn’t you mean unelectable?
Were Cruz to win the presidency, there would be heads exploding across the fruited plain.

One more reason to vote Cruz! ;o)
[[Bruni reflects on diverse topics: American politics, higher education, violence in football, gay rights and his own life as a gay man in a close-knit family” - NY Times bio]]
How can Bruni’s gay family be close-knit? Most gay men are not monogamous by nature, and their children are either adopted or have a “third parent.” Lot of potential for stress and anxiety in the gay “family.”
That might be true, my recollection of what he said in debate was that CNN "corrected" the implication that Cruz was suspending his campaign within a minute of the "Carson not going to NH" exchange. Whether the CNN clarification was in response to Carson's campaign calling CNN, or if CNN did it on their own doesn't matter. The point Carson made was that the Cruz campaign ran with the most unfavorable take.
Watching the debate, I thought quite obviously so. But the transcript reads differently.
Transcript of the New Hampshire GOP debate
MUIR: If elected president, would you bring it back?CRUZ: I would not bring it back in any sort of widespread use. And indeed, I joined with Senator McCain in legislation that would prohibit line officers from employing it because I think bad things happen when enhanced interrogation is employed at lower levels.
But when it comes to keeping this country safe, the commander in chief has inherent constitutional authority to keep this country safe. And so, if it were necessary to, say, prevent a city from facing an imminent terrorist attack, you can rest assured that as commander in chief, I would use whatever enhanced interrogation methods we could to keep this country safe.
Where’s the first part of what he said? The McCain part came after he’d begun to answer, then paused a bit.
