I congratulate you for your convoluted spin of the latest dirty tricks from the Cruz campaign. Did you make it up yourself or is it official Cruz campaign propaganda? You do realize of course that stretching the truth and the meaning of words is frowned upon by many people?
The truth here is that Cruz is posing as a devout Christian and the most pure conservative in the race... yet he has hired a team of experts who specialize in manipulating social media, and just plain outright lying about basically everything. I don’t know... he is a lawyer... it worked for the Clintons and Obama... maybe it is a winning strategy. But I find it hypocritical and I have now gotten off the Cruz train. I find it uncomfortable to defend the crap he has been pulling.
Actually, my “convoluted spin” is original with me. I would be honored if it became official “Cruz propaganda” because as I presently see it, Cruz is the best opportunity for the advancement of conservative values that has come along in a long long time.
I don’t think Cruz is “posing” as Christian— and if he is — he is doing a much better job than Donald offering/communion plate Trump.
I am glad that Cruz has a good team and they are getting things done— like winning Iowa.
Cruz won multiple cases he argued before the Supreme Court— including a case against George W. Bush regarding an illegal immigrant who murdered an American citizen. He is not a liberal or lefty lawyer. That is obvious to any serious student of Ted Cruz. I have a hard time believing you were ever on the Cruz train because you don’t seem to be trying very hard to discern the facts here:
1. The Cruz campaign never said Carson had dropped out. There is no evidence to support that contention. That removes the substance of the Carson/Trump Axis of deceit on this.
2. Rubio and Trump campaigns also relayed the CNN story. They are exempt from your faux outrage because this is all contrived and designed to provide another ad hominem basis for removing Cruz from public consideration.
3. It would be irresponsible to not report the facts of Carson’s still peculiar behavior in the aftermath of Iowa. It is increasingly clear that Carson is not serious about continuing. That is more due to the outrageous slander offered regularly by Donald Trump denouncing Carson as a deranged knife murdering pathological nut. Those are not exact words but they are quite close to the mocking critique of Carson offered by Trump. Trumpsters exulted in this kind of bombast. But now that the bombast has failed to deliver winning that will make you tired of winning, Trump wants a do-over.
Trump does not deserve a do ever. He is the true scoundrel in this race and it becomes clearer everyday. For many days, his caustic verbal assaults on conservatives were heralded. It appears he has arrived at his Waterloo.
He deserves this loss. He falsely congratulated Cruz on Monday night.
That was a lie.
He now says that Cruz is a cheater and that everyone deserves a do over in Iowa.
We have reached a point where Trump supporters have a decision to make:
Is Donald always right in what he says— no matter what?
Is he right when he says Cruz lied because he was Canadian?
Is he right when he says the CNN report about Carson means he gets a do over?
It is time to see the value and the limitations of Trump. He has encountered his limitations as he tries to reconcile his loss in Iowa.
That is what is really going one here.
