That dirty trick caused about 20% of the Carson voters to move over to Cruz rather than waste their vote on someone who was ending his campaign, according to Cruz. That was the difference between Cruz’s total and Trump’s total. Otherwise, Trump wins, and the entry polls were correct. I must say begrudgingly, it was a brilliant political dirty trick; hard to say which was best-—the mailer, Beck’s photoshopped phony Tweet, forgetting to note to the FEC that his wife’s employer, Goldman Sachs, and chief beneficiary of her previous employer’s (the Fed Govt) massive transfer of money to the NY Banks in 2008 gave Cruz a million dollars and doggone it the Ivy League brainiac just forgot. Kinda like he forgot he was a Canadian citizen. He just plain forgot.

Interesting analogy, didn’t think of it that way before. Could be exactly why Trump lost Iowa.

But I guess you are OK with Trump comparing an opponent to a child molester?

Just like a trumpeteer to just make crap up.

Cruz’s people ran with a CNN story, perhaps Carson should stop whining and playing the victim and learn about social media if he wants to play in the big leagues.

Well then it's certainly convenient you pulled that 20% figure out of thin air, as no one will ever know what, if any, impact Cruz's tweet about CNN's statement made.

Now, if Cruz had won by 30%, how much of Cruz's lead would you attribute CNN's error? [Hint: 30% of Carson's voters]

What actually happened was that 20% of Carson's voters went over to Trump, who would have lost convincingly to Rubio otherwise. Now see, I can make stuff up, too.

“That dirty trick caused about 20% of the Carson voters to move over to Cruz rather than waste their vote on someone who was ending his campaign, according to Cruz.”

How do you know that? Fact is, Carson has been fading for a month and it made sense, if not accurate, to assume that Carson was getting out. He needs to get out!

And the junk about Goldman Sachs, It was borrowing against his own money as a loan. Trump has as line of credit from them right now! Try some things that can be proved, not stuff that can’t be proved!
