Go Gore!

I mean Trump.

You don’t think spreading the lie that Carson was dropping out of the race at the Iowa caucuses was dirty? Wow.

[going hot]

Cruz won Iowa, has a few delegates, convincing wipeout of the opposition.

Why are we even having this primary stuff anymore.

Cruz won, it is over.

Polls and about 50 million voters are dumb as a box of rocks for even contemplating any other scenario.

[fireman15]

There is nothing like one of GGGs Cruz excuser threads to get them swarming around like a bunch Cuban Canadian Killer Bees.

[caww]

These are Demorats and the Gope tactics to take out Cruz......long time buzz words used for months waiting for the the media to play and re-play over and over. We’re hearing these alot in todays news. ....Attack his character, make it up if they have to.

[aquila48]

Trump can dish it out, but he certainly cannot take it.

[dynoman]

No kidding.

I am reminded of the Rudy Giuliani madness here a few years back . . . before housecleaning.

Actually, it’s right up the alley of the two slime balls that did it.

It’s pitiful to see you try and defend it by trying to assign it to someone who didn’t actually do it.

Put up just hours ago, in this longish (14 minute) TRIFECTA, these three guys pretty much echo my thoughts and rantings of the last few months.
We are in the midst of one of the most revolutionary elections in our lifetime. It could go either way. How it DOES go largely depends on how informed YOU and those around you become between now and November!
In the interests of “diversity”, there’s something in this one to delight or anger everyone.
EITHER WAY, THIS ELECTION WILL START A REVOLUTION!

On one level. I’m sympathetic that the trucons deserve a chance to prove their theory (that it’s possible to elect a trucon President). They’ve been loyal GOP soldiers for a long time.

On the other hand, GGG, the question remains: Where are the 64 EVs going to come from (that Romney didn’t win)?

And, beyond that, suppose a trucon wins 270-268. Do you believe a trucon can govern after such an election?

[GodGunsGuts]

Trump did say he could shoot someone for no reason in broad daylight and his followers would still slovenly follow him as though nothing happened. So whatever it is, it will probably be big!

[jpsb]

Yep, still wondering what the dirty tactics are?

[VanDeKoik]

"Whereas Cruz has already survived one collision with Trump. And Cruz has already won a state. No other candidate can make either boast. And so long as that remains the case, no other candidate can claim to be a more likely nominee."



So the guy with a one delegate lead, with 49 other states to go....

And the NY Times actually printed something so irrationally retarded that people on FR agree with it?

[dynoman]

Equivocation.

[dead]

Are you suggesting we go with Rubio over Cruz for electability reasons? Because Trump, with highest negatives of any candidate sure as he’ll isn’t more likely than Cruz to pick up any new EVs. He has topped out and trails both Hillary and Bernie in all the head to head polls. Plus, he’s not getting anymore lovable these days.

[Baynative]

"I suspect we'll soon be hearing threats on his life etc."

Good call. I won't bet against that one.

[Mrs. Don-o]

"Snake handlers??

You have incautiously drawn upon yourself the suspicion that you are a bigot.

[dead]

Trump and Rove with the same talking points against Cruz. Coincidence? You know it’s not.

[napscoordinator]

Stealing is Cruz’s name.

By the way, Wednesday he won’t be able to claim he is the only one to win a state.
