Are you suggesting that we support a candidate who is self-funding and not owned by any special interests?
Where have you been the past couple of decades? Have you seen the debt? Have you seen the illegals pouring over our borders? Yes, buddy, those same consistent conservative results are showing their ugly heads.
Large popualtion? Arizona has 6.7M, and no one ever said Arizona had a large population. By population, South Carolina is ranked 24th among states, putting it solidly in the middle.
Correction, Trump’s dad did NOT give him the money - it was a loan which was paid back. Oh my, do you really want to go there? Okay - Ted’s dad was fighting with the communists in Cuba, according to Ted’s story. Which is worse? You lack good judgment.
Jimmy Carter never endorsed Trump. You seem to have selective memory. He will vote for the demoncrat in the general - now let’s talk about Glenn Beck, shall we?
This is no guess! You have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Moron of the day is “Euram”.
Oh Lord, not this sh** again. This isn’t true, and you Cruzobts continue to post crap like this. Delusional and desperate.
I suppose Teddy is one of the 7. We just have to find out who the other 6 are now.
Why, yes i am. I guess I wasn’t too subtle, was I?/s
So the newspaper knew that Trump’s son would one day be a candidate so they framed him almost 100 years ago?
Hmmm guess I need to learn more about dominion theology.
You might be one of the 7 kinds and not even know it.
LOL
No, but you were polite. Which is more than I can say for most Ted Cruz supporters. Go Trump!
Great Story!!! Thanks..
So. Ted and his dirty tricks are going to steal SC like he stole Iowa?
You got it!!!
If I had a dollar for every thing "everyone knows" that just isn't true, I'd be richer than Soros.
I saw the CNN report, which was misleading. One of Cruz supporters sent that to others and misinformation travels fast, but the origin was at CNN.
I'm not buying the whole 'change of clothes' schtick. If you can afford to run for President, you can afford a change of skivvies.
The announcement included that Carson wasn't going to New Hampshire or South Carolina, but was going home.
Do I think that affected Carson in Iowa? Maybe, and that's a maybe. Do I think Cruz benefited? If at all, not much. Do I think Cruz knew of the message beforehand? As often when there is a lot going on, no. Keep in mind it was sent to Cruz supporters. Those people were already aboard.
Now if you want to talk about Iowa, let's discuss where Cruz said he'd do away with the ethanol fuel mandate that costs drivers everywhere about 10% of their gas mileage. The Governor of Iowa (whose son is an ethanol industry lobbyist) immediately jumped in and said Cruz had to be defeated 'whatever it takes'.
Right after that Trump jumped in and said he'd not only keep the ethanol mandate, but use the EPA to enforce it to the fullest extent of the law, which gained him the support of the Governor and the GOPe in Iowa.
Not only did Trump parley away 10% of everyone's gas mileage and ensure the destruction of thousands of small engines, he said he'd keep the single agency which has done more to destroy American Industry and drive it offshore.
(Kiss Making America Great Again goodbye.)
While I can understand (not like, mind you , but understand) how a zealous minion might send around what amounted to a distortion of fact by CNN (That would never happen, not CNN, right?) (/s), Cruz manned up, took responsibility for the actions of people in the campaign, and apologized to Carson. If you go back and chase down the early threads, there is even a screen shot of the CNN broadcast, and likely a link.
Nowhere can the argument be made that Trump wasn't aware of what he was doing, trading the continuation of the ethanol mandate and the EPA for Iowa.

I read somewhere that Carson did about 1.5% better in the caucus than what he had been polling. Of course 1.5% less would have still been within the margin of error.
I did a search and came up with Brietbart - between a mess of a website (ads) and a mess of twitter posts with different time-stamps and CNN newscasts saying one thing and CNN twitter another, it was very confusing.
But - it did start with a Carson person saying that Carson would be heading home.
About one person in six was in the KKK? Leaving out women and children (and obvious demographics), that'd be almost every adult (white) male in the state--and a Yankee state at that.
Why is it that those member numbers seem unlikely?
You are such a clever boy.
