The Republican presidential campaigns furiously traded accusations of dirty tricks Saturday as voters cast their ballots in South Carolina.
Front-runner Donald Trump started the finger-pointing early, just before 9 a.m., when he slammed Ted Cruz as a "lowlife" politician for alleged robocalls.
"Lying #TED Cruz just (on election day) came out with a sneak and sleazy Robocall," Trump tweeted. "He holds up the Bible but in fact is a true lowlife pol!"
That was just the beginning. Marco Rubio's campaign released a statement calling on Cruz to repudiate calls suggesting Rubio is dropping out. "These calls are false, malicious, and beneath the dignity of all South Carolinians," Rubio senior adviser Joe Pounder said. "Because of his track record in spreading such false rumors as he did in Iowa, Senator Cruz should immediately repudiate these calls."

Cruz will apologize for the calls tomorrow.
One thing that I have learned through bitter experience is that dirty tricks often get the desired results. The downside is that when the trickster actually succeeds they are almost always a terrible disappointment to their followers later. Not that this resembles anyone in the current campaign. /s
Trump is on a roll following his Code Pink endorsement.
So .... Rubio is going FULL TRUMP!
No need for evidence .... just denounce Cruz as a liar!
I’m quickly losing my respect for Rubio ..... he should elevate his campaign above the name calling/evidenceless bashing of Donald Trump.
Especially when his campaign also distributed the CNN tweet that Cruz did in Iowa!
Can they prove it came from Cruz—I really don’t think he would be that stupid. Sounds more like a group trying to put the blame on Cruz a counter Cruz group.
Forget it, Jake. It’s South Carolina.
Here Trump talking about his favorite book (The Bible) while holding up his own book.

 Odds are no, because if there was any calls it would of been made by Trump or Rubio people (or those that support them on the sly) to just make up the lie that Cruz is doing it.
I’ve received hundreds of robo-calls. This is just a normal practice. Why is Trump whining?
Trump whines. It’s what he does.
Geico!
See tagline
Trump loves to stir the crowds with his lies. Sad so many ignorant people believe him.
It’s actually sad that he keeps doing this. He knows he’s going to get caught and it will hurt his reputation.
Man, oh, man.
How many of you signed up back in August of last year?
Seems like everyone running his yap these days has only been around for a few months.
Didn’t care that Rome was burning for the last 7 years?
Just gotta jump on over the THE CONSERVATIVE FORUM to trash the most conservative candidate, huh?
Planned Parenthood will not have to work so hard with people like you helping them so much.
