Carson is done...you’d be a moron in politics if you were not jockeying to get into position to go after Carson’s supporters. This whole thing was blown out of proportion by Trump and is minions. One second Trump compares Carson to a child molester, the next he says that he is a great guy.
It’s not over yet. I think Carson can cripple Cruz for the general election if he chooses to do so.
Duke of Wellington had a Vanderbilt as a mother.
It really bothers me that so many people here believe the Founding Fathers would have been okay with English Royalty running for President. A Duke is right underneath a King.
What’s amazing is many would have thought Trump would be the one pulling crap like that but it wasn’t Trump. It was the “principled†conservative Ted Cruz! Trump is standing on the higher ethical ground. And Ted’s become fatally flawed.
Yep. You know the race is just about over when Senator 99-1 is questioning another candidates temperament.
Florida is the next California.
Did they actually caucus before the vote on the GOP side ? I thought the rules changed to a secret ballot and that was supposed to favor Trump.
Yep. Trump is the only thing standing between us and a Rubio/Cruz unity ticket.

Sorry but you’re delusional. Rubio and his establishment/OPEN BORDERS backers despise Cruz.
he needs to blame someone else for his failures.
my teenager does that alot.
“Carson needs to get over it. He was never a viable candidate.”
Concur. He might be a brilliant neurosurgeon, but he’s not ready for prime time as a politician.
If Cruz will do “anything to win,” why didn’t he come out in favor of ethanol subsidies?
CNN published the story about Carson appearing to be dropping out. Cruz would have been a moron not to use it to his advantage. And this story was based on insider information. He couldn’t “confirm it” with Carson because Carson would’ve denied it either way.
Yes. And Ted handed it to him with his unprincipled and unethical gutter politics. Not smart.
So you’re ok with Rubio doing something to gain advantage but not Cruz.
So you’re a GOPe supporter. You are one of those helping Rubio.
Not at all. Rubio isn’t running as a “consistent conservative” (TM) or “principled conservative” (TM). Only Saint Rafael is doing that while smearing everybody else.
He just told a reporter that after the caucuses he was going to fly home to Florida for a “change of clothes” and then head on to New Hampshire. And somehow that got spun into “HE’S DROPPING OUT!!!!!
Not going to happen and Carson is going to formally suspend his campaign by next weekend.
Equivocation.
Own it.
Have they found any Iowans who claim they switched their vote from Carson to Cruz because of this?
They’re the only ones who have standing in this matter.
Florida is the next California.
Yep. I grew up in California. I’ve seen this movie before. South Florida is already gone and the I-4 corridor is teetering. Shortly all that will be left is the panhandle.
I think it is quite telling that just a month ago these same advocates for Trump were saying that Trump’s attacks on other candidates were “fair game”. How quickly they change their tune when it is politically advantageous.
CNN won't let Cruz fire their reporters.
I don’t know. Armstrong Williams is furious.
