I don’t think it was fraud. If God wants to give America another chance to outlaw abortion, Cruz will be the one to do it. Otherwise the US and the world, is toast.

So here is the timeline again:

4:43 CNN says Carson not going to NH/SC, but going home to Florida and then the prayer breakfast

6:29 Rubio repeats

7:00 Cruz repeats

7:30 CNN says it again

I’m really not sure why Cruz is getting slammed for this.
********************************************

I said that something is really fishy here. I saw Carson on O’rielly last night and he wouldn’t even blame CNN. I think Carson and Trump are in trying to take down Cruz.

“......I’m not buying it...I think he was ready to wrap it up and somebody talked him out of it.”

Well, whether you are or aren’t “buying it,” the fact is he’s still in and nothing in his statement about returning to Florida comes anything close to an admission that he was thinking of quitting. Cruz sank himself with me. He’s now no better than Mitt Romney. I simply would have a hard time thinking of him as president. No trust!

RE: Just another politician

Nope, a clarification based on new information is just that -— a clarification.

See Post #69 above.

CNN’s first tweet was 4PM something.

Rubio was 6:29.

Cruz was late to the game, actually.

Because the butthurt is strong with the trumpettes.

And the fact the The Mouth of Manhattan was 2600 votes from finishing 3rd when all the “experts” claimed he was gonna win by 5-7 %.

Cruz blaming everyone else but himself. What a weak little man.

TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) blaming everyone and everything else, except for his poor organization and poor execution in IOWA for Losing IOWA.

What a weak, little excuse for a man.

In other words, a pack of oportunistic liars!

Is that true of Trump’s social media organization also, or just the folks you don’t like?

RE: Cruz TEAM SAID they CONFIRMED with Carson camp!!!!! YUGE difference

Can you please show us the source for this?

All indication is this — CNN was the ORIGINAL source of this rumor.

Team Rubio and Team Cruz simply repeated this source.

legitimate case against Cruz.

What would that ligitimate claim be? It was based on a CNN report that was based statement made by Carson’s own campaign? This needs to die an early death, it is no more than nitpicking crocodile tears.

But Rubio has momentum from Iowa and he’s being pushed by the establishment. Fox is practically drooling over him. He needs to be exposed for his part in this sleazy scheme. He may be in 3rd now, but he won’t stay there.


I agree 100%. Ted Cruz wins Iowa and it becomes Rubio’s victory

Not exactly if you look at the timeline.

See Post #69 above.

CNN’s first tweet was 4PM something.

Rubio’s repeat was 6:29.

Cruz was late to the game, actually. His team tweeted it at about 7 PM.

From the youtube video I posted above:

33 seconds before the Iowa Caucus start at 7pm, CNN reports the story.

a couple seconds before 7pm TedCruz campaign tweets BenCarson is returning to Florida and making big announcement next week.

With this and the voter violation deception he’s looking more and more like a Lawyer saying and doing whatever it takes to win for his paying clients.

Since when do we vote according to something a staff member of a candidate does or doesn’t do?...Come on.....if it only takes that to change your vote then must be your not an issues person...I am and Cruz stands solid. ...It’s a race and I give Cruz and his team all the room necessary to win....regardless if the media or anyone else likes it or not.... there’s always dirt going on behind the scene...’the media chooses’ what’s going to be thrown out there for public consumption and we know full well they are not in Cruz’s court..
