Cruz Draws First Blood
Breitbart.com ^ | February 2, 2016 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 02/02/2016 6:24:54 AM PST by Biggirl

On Monday, Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) performed the singular feat of simultaneously proving that a Republican can win Iowa without backing the ethanol boondoggle, and toppled The God Who Does Not Bleed, Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) finished stronger than expected, beating poll estimates by six percentage points; Trump finished more than four percent below expectations, while Cruz finished nearly four percent above expectations.

Ted's playing pretty dirty pool, worse than the mailer he sent out;

Carson accuses opponents of 'lies and dirty tricks'

Implying Carson is quitting and would be a wasted vote on caucus night is in the same category as the shaming mailer.

I will vote for Cruz and want him , but the last week has not impressed me at all and we all know Iowa is the kiss of death to win as they always get it wrong.

Maybe, but at this point I am more concerned that Trump and Cruz will split the conservative vote and Rubio could slip in with the RINO vote.

This is just a rumor until there is some proof. Sounds like Carson is off his game and is being sore about his poor results.

exactly. All the childish comments by a few conservatives on both sides only lets in Rubio and which I have been saying for the last two weeks to no avail.
It seems we have some paid activists on here who refuse to case their attacks and cannot see the bigger picture here.

Below expectations... Now where have I heard that before and for Cruz’s 3 point win after his vaunted Ground Game hype? It’s not 1 and done in my eyes.

We need to worry about Rubio.

I had a strange thought about the left, Democrats know that Hillary & Bernie have no chance with all the baggage of the past 8 years of Obama against the outsider candidates. I think Democrats crossed over to vote for Rubio. I think GOPe got Democrats to vote fo Rubio like they got them to vote for Cochran in Mississippi.

They voted for the least harmful Republican to keep the political elite status quo in power. Rubio is that political elite class candidate. Rubio is woefully unprepared to be President and can not stand up against stronger politicians. He rates with Ryan, McConnell, Boehner et al as a Rino. Democrats also know that Conservatives won’t hold their nose this time and vote for Rubio. So there would be a chance for Hillary if the fix is in for her to be the nominee.

Since you are posting the same info...I will repost one of my replies...

Just went to the twitter account which he doesn’t use very much and it’s not there. Could have been deleted because there are no tweets for the [tweet time] span....

He should have known better [to quote a breaking news headline without calling Carson], if true, or his staff should have...STEVE KING should have. But maybe not since back in July he was a Trump supporter and Palin hit him hard when he comes out for Cruz and then he tweets about Carson being out. Hmmmm.

Cruz Draws First Blood

Yeah, that'll really win him over with the megyn kelly crowd. :)

But seriesly, drawing first blood isn't a good thing based on the Rambo movie.

If Cruz did this and after how he sent out those flyers then I have gone off him a lot.
That crap is the establishment and how they play with their lies. One of the things why I want Cruz is because he is not like them.

Mrs Carson was at a caucus where Cruz supporters told voters that Carson was dropping out. CNN reported that Carson was going home after Iowa not dropping out of the race.
