It’s funny to see all the Cruzbot sheep bleating into the wilderness. Bleat away, it’s falling on deaf ears. No one is listening. ;-)

One sentence was correct. Trump is not perfect.

Yep. It really is a waste of time talking to some of these people.

I’m no Trump supporter—I’m for Ted Cruz all the way. And I’m not saying it’s ok that her arm was grabbed—Lewandowski’s hands shouldn’t be pulling on any reporter. I’m just saying that what I see in that video is far less serious than what I was expecting to see based on the hype and what Terris said in the audio transcript (”yeah he just threw you down”). I don’t really care if Lewandowski gets fired or not. The Trump train will move on regardless.

The video is clear evidence that she was grabbed with force.
Physics proves it.
1. Her abrupt change in direction.
2. His "pause" in forward motion.
The pause was created after his forward speed was increased by him pulling her backwards, then his forward speed slowed momentarily when he released her.

I have not gotten to the laughing stage yet... It is still shocking to my mind to watch the 'so called conservatives' expose themselves as a bunch of con artists and liars. And they have the gall to point fingers of lying accusations.

I am still simmering over Rush going secretly to get Amnesty talking points from Schumer and Graham in 2011. Time to take out the trash.

I have come to this conclusion: Some people are born to deceive and some people are born to be deceived.

Money has thoroughly corrupted BOTH political parties. It is no longer about principal, it’s only about money and power. America needs a 3rd, 4th and 5th party. The Republican and Democrat parties are thoroughly corrupt and there is no changing them.

If you watch nothing but her face, you will not see any grimace of pain at any time. She was on a mission and the video proves that she was NOT harmed but ignored.

I think that we just witnessed another Dan Rather moment this evening only larger. We have a long list of characters - Fields, Shapiro, Terris and others who decided to take a demonstrably false story and cling to the falsehood rather than just making a simple apology. I wouldn’t be surprised if Terris and Megyn Kelly quit their jobs tomorrow so that they can “spend more time with their families.”

They should also resign but they did accomplish their "Trump promotes violence" narrative so they were able to use at his rallies and blame Trump for any astro-turf violence that may occur at them.

It all smelled of establishment coordination from the beginning.

Very true... IF this Me-shell broad did this to Cruz, Rush would be calling her a slut.

“They did the right thing staying away from an organization that is Trump’s mouthpiece.”

So you approve of them promoting that fake story? Shapiro and Fields are lying scum. I hope Corey Lewandowski sues the hell out of them for their slander.

FOX NEWS reported the latest resignations, but refused to say anything about the latest Video with a new angle. FOX said that Michelle Fields said she was "VIOLATED" by Trump's camp!

Friday Brett Baier reported the Police report detailed Kicks, Fists, and Teeth as weapons used in the assault against her (seriously).

Btw, it appears these people are cootie slime. Same kind of people who’d claim whiplash, backlash, eyelash and buttlash if someone bumped her car 1 mph.

She and her friends reek. Bad mumbo.

Good for Breitbart. Shapiro is an unprofessional clown.

“Andrew’s life mission has been betrayed,” Shapiro wrote. “Indeed, Breitbart News, under the chairmanship of Steve Bannon, has put a stake through the heart of Andrew’s legacy.

In my opinion, Steve Bannon is a bully, and has sold out Andrew’s mission in order to back another bully, Donald Trump; he has shaped the company into Trump’s personal Pravda, to the extent that he abandoned and undercut his own reporter, Breitbart News’ Michelle Fields, in order to protect Trump’s bully campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who allegedly assaulted Michelle.”

Ben, wherever you end up, please to be hiring copy editor.

He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
“Remember when we used to play?”

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

Now he’s gone, I don’t know why
And ‘till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn’t even say goodbye
He didn’t take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Church bells probably refers to Cruzers.

Did you even look at the video? There is no assault there. At the very worst someone was cut off by having another walk between them. Doesn’t the truth matter anymore?
