Oh, I think Rubio is just as guilty. Looks like him and Cruz working together to take out Trump.
Let’s say that there was a rumor floating around that Carson was going to quit the race ( regardless of where it came from (CNN was reporting it as well ) ).
I can’t believe that Iowa voters ( and Carson supporters ) are so DUMB that they would not double check to see if this story is true or not before casting their vote. I mean this isn’t the 19th century where there is no internet or cable news.
As a Cruz supporter, I know I’d double check first if I heard news floating around saying that Cruz had quit before casting my vote.
So, to say that Carson’s 4th place showing was CAUSED by the rumor is just that — BALONEY.
Carson just did not have enough supporters in Iowa, rumor or not. PERIOD.
You are correct, that they both are running as is djt, ergo they both would like to have him out of the race.
“Oh, I think Rubio is just as guilty. Looks like him and Cruz working together to take out Trump.”
Same puppet masters. Push Rubio, if he doesn’t catch on, push Cruz who is easily taken out later for Hillary. Taking Trump out is key.
This sort of post is why nobody takes the trumpinis seriously. Two serious rivals decided to work together to take out a third serious rival by somehow tricking a fourth rival into leaking some vague info to a national news outlet. Then they used that info to try to siphon off some minuscule amount of votes from a guy polling around six percent. And this was the great plan they concocted together?
There is no way you believe this scenario is more likely than the staff of each candidate acted independently on an erroneous news story.
The Donald lost because of a number of strategic mistakes on his own part, the largest being trying to sit on his lead and running away from the debate. He and his trumpesteroonis cannot accept that his unforced errors doomed him, so they make up bizarro conspiracy theories and pretend to believe them.
Now this line of attack is fast becoming the next in the ongoing series of unforced errors that will slash his lead in NH. The SEC primaries will finish him off for good, and then we'll get more excuses and imaginary conspiracies and rationalizations for why he will endorse Hillary or Bernie.
