This is what happens when you talk about your opponents rather than the issues.

Poor Carson has been sucked into a world - politics/media - he doesn’t understand.

A more clever, safer reply to this pathetic misunderstanding is, “the rumors of my campaign’s demise are greatly exaggerated”. End of story.

If Trump had better ground game, Trump would have won Iowa. Woulda coulda shoulda. The primaries are a test of who is competent and who is incompetent to manage other people.

Trump is a great salesman. But sales is only part of being President. Trump lacks service after the sale. He lacks the vision to see the total package of what needs to be done.

In contrast, Ted Cruz is a long range strategist who thinks many moves ahead in the game with a Plan B and Plan C if X happens or Y happens.

Long range strategist is what the USA needs right now. Both Bush and Obama could only see 1 move ahead at a time.

Good grief. Ben is a gifted surgeon, but he’s got no business running a primary campaign. Its time to do himself and the Republican party a favor and go for that Florida vacation.

*That juvenile shit is beneath your dignity, DoughtyOne.*

Dignity - who needs it when you have an idol to worship?

It should be. It sure doesn't appear to fit on this thread, if the information that started the whole " "Carson going to Florida" mess", minor fiasco came from Ben Carson's camp, in the first place.

Ben Carson;

Let me answer that, Ben.

Not right about when the voting at the Iowa caucus was taking place.

It made it sound like, once preliminary results began to trickle in, you just may have decided to fold your tent, instead of just 'going home for a fresh change of clothes'.

>> Who told you DoughtyOne had dignity?

That’s rhetorical but I’ll answer it anyway. ;-)

No one told me. I have seen the thoughtful, well-reasoned, dignified side of DoughtyOne with my own eyes.

Which is why this silly crap is all the more disappointing.

If you think about it, thus is a thread related to Cruz, and thus fair game.

I’ve been doing this for a couple of hours to prove a point.

One of your own has been doing it for four months.

No complaint there...

And yet you had no problem with Isara posting his graphic with untruths in it for user four months.

Yikes.

His chart that folks on our side have been saying wasn’t truthful for four months.
