No, Cruz Didn't Win Iowa By Cheating. Here's Why Trump's Pushing That Narrative.
Daily Wire ^ | February 3, 2016 | Ben Shapiro

...

Yesterday, Trump ripped into Cruz for supposedly lying about Ben Carson's decision to leave Iowa early, as well as the Cruz campaign mailer telling Iowans whether they had voted in previous elections. He then added, "No, it's honestly really, really dishonest. And I think I know why. You know why? Because he was born in Canada...He gets the nomination, they're going to sue his ass off."

...

Let's go through these bizarre, inane assertions one-by-one...

I don’t have to read the article to know that the Cruz and his team got caught lying.

This thread is getting almost hilarious in a very sad way. Team Trump is looking MIGHTY BAD.

Folks, I could not encourage you more to read biographies of the two men slandered in this reply and I believe that any fair-minded conservative who does learn the extraordinary credentials of these patriots who served their country, will conclude that Ted Cruz's damn lucky to have them on his team and that criticism of Cruz for affiliating himself with them demonstrates what no longer requires demonstrating, the critics of Ted Cruz on nearly as nuts as Donald Trump.

You have to remember that any so-called conservative who criticizes or opposes Trump is exposing themselves as a long-time secret RINO, because Trump is the #1 ultimate conservative of all time. He’s so conservative that he retroactively redefines the definition of conservative at least two generations back. Anyone who does not join the cult of Trump is a filthy disavowed apostate. You are either with Trump or you are against Trump.

You assume that “positions” actually matter. That is part of the PSYOP! Only who is in power matters.

What does it say about the energy in Carson’s campaign that people believed he suspended it when, in fact, he had not?

The rumor (an honest mistake of which Cruz has actually apologized), maybe cost Ben Carson .25-1% of the actual vote, and wouldn’t have changed the results (marginally) anyway.

LAME

.......and Ted's mom made him eat Log Cabin "maple" syrup, like every day, as a kid to make him love Canada and maple trees!

The super secret of the Cruz campaign that we will only learn after he is elected, he's moving our national Capitol to Toronto and make all American school kids learn the words to sing, "O Canada!"

Nothing was premeditated (no matter how much one wishes it were), This was an honest mistake as admitted to and apologized for by the Cruz campaign.

That’s all. If you have proof to the contrary, please share it!

[[Making mountains out of molehills seems to be the basis of Trump’s campaign.]]

And his supporters too-

[[Why isn’t the Donald tearing up Rubio? His staffers did the same thing.]]

Because only Ted is held accountable- no one else- anything involving Ted must be ‘slimy’ ‘disgusting’ ‘unchristian’ ‘hypocritical’ ‘dishonest’ ‘filthy’ ‘underhanded’ a’busive’
‘aspersion’
‘backbiting ‘
‘backstabbing’
‘belittling’
‘calumnious’
‘damaging’
‘defamatory’
‘denigrating
‘deprecative’
‘derogatory’
‘disesteeming’
‘disparaging’
‘harmful’
‘hitting’
‘hurtful’
‘injurious’
‘injust’
‘innuendo’
‘insinuating’
‘knocking’
‘libelous’
‘libeling’
‘lies’
‘maligning
‘minimization’
‘muckraking’
‘obloquy’
‘pejorative’
‘revilement’
‘ridicule’
‘running down’
‘scandalous’
‘scandalmongering’
‘scurrilous’
‘slamming’
s’mear campaign’
‘tale-telling’
‘traducent’
‘traducing’
‘vilification’
‘vituperation’
and last but not least- just plain ‘wrong’

After all, the angry crowds have gathered so many stones, and they need someone to hurl them at - you wouldn’t deprive them of venting their moral indignation would you?

yeah what part of honest mistake, apologized for do you not understand, or is Christian repentance only for people other than Ted Cruz?

If you know for a fact this was an orchestrated “lie” please do tell..and give your evidence (rather than mere speculation and innuendo)?

“What does it say about the energy in Carson’s campaign that people believed he suspended it when, in fact, he had not?”

It was a cruel scam to fool those voters who aren’t a Twitter aficionado. For proof, the Cruz staff could offer a brief glance at the first CNN tweet, which was ostensibly vague . . without bothering to inform the voter of the second CNN tweet declaring Carson had NOT terminated his candidacy. To try to blame the victims of Cruz’ fraud on their own innocence . . says a lot about the Cruz supporters. Would you like your parents or grandparents to be so duped by an opposing candidate?

“[Team Trump is looking MIGHTY BAD. ]]

We also need teamwork to keep the website working. If we denigrate like grade school kids rather than an intellectual debate . . we can expect FR will be losing good people. Probably even those who support with their monthly donations. Why are you shooting yourselves in the foot, if you like FR you should argue your points without the personal insults. Sounds like Democrat Underground rather than the formerly dignified Free Republic.

Actually Cruz is looking pretty bad right now since he got caught in a big lie.

That looks like a hairpiece

There's no way a guy would wear a hairpiece in which the hairline apparently starts at his eyebrows. Most comb-over guys simply part their hair low and comb it straight over. What Trump does is comb it forward, and then he flips it back. It appears that he has grown it quite long so that he has enough hair to simulate a hairline at his eyebrows, and then have enough to flip it back to cover the rest of his head. Because the hair starts at the side of his head, it is already low to start with, hence the low appearance of the "hairline" in front. It takes a lot of spray to hold the coif in place. That's why he wears baseball caps when he is in windy places.

A guy like Trump can afford hairpieces that no one could detect. There's no way that's a hairpiece (IMHO).
