On "The Kelly File" tonight, Judge Andrew Napolitano said that Donald Trump doesn't have a legal case to back up his claim that the Ted Cruz campaign committed voter fraud in Iowa and that the caucus results should be nullified.

"There's no legal basis for that - he's making a political observation."

There are two issues.

The Judge says there is no "Controlling Legal Authority."

"Carson is an enigma to me," he said, before offering a summary of one of Carson’s books. "He said that he’s 'pathological' and that he’s got, basically, pathological disease...I don’t want a person that’s got pathological disease." "If you’re pathological—there’s no cure for that, folks. There’s no cure for that," Trump said. "If you’re a child molester—a sick puppy—a child molester, there’s no cure for that. There’s only one cure, we don’t want to talk about that cure. That’s the ultimate cure. Well, there’s death, and there’s the other thing."

Before Trump felt the need to defend Carson's honor.

Fine. Then Carson needs to take it to the correct organization who handles this cheating - if it’s only the Republican Party, so be it. If they reject his claim, we need to broadcast loud and clear that the Republican Party is corrupt (which it is, anyway.) And we need to broadcast loud and clear that Cruz is a cheat.

...Trump is for single payer, Trump supported Hillary, supported Harry Reid, supprted Nancy Pelosi, supported dufus McCain, supports crony capitalism, now tells his Kardashian voters that he’s conservative and they fall all over him believing his every word...! Trump is a liar, he is one of the establishment cronies....!

I find it odd if the judge is saying nothing can be done about cheating.

Hillary is not in jail why do you thing anything can be done to law breakers, at least certain law breakers?

Exactly! It’s risible that Carson would have done this. Cruz went after someone he thought wouldn’t fight back. If he tried this with either Trump, Rubio, or anyone else, he would have had his head handed to him. He may have it handed to him, anyway.

I’m talking about “the judge” I’m not talking about the corrupt Washington machine. Do you think he’s corrupt as well?

It’s one thing to say mean things about a candidate - Cruz is a master of that as well as Trump - but to cheat is something far, far different.

This whole entire thing is stupid.

CNN: We have a report that Dr. Carson is going back to Florida after Iowa. How strange.

Cruz campaign: We have heard that Carson is going back to Florida. Vote for Ted!

Trump: ZOMG!!!1!11! FRAUD! I'll sue!

Mark Levin: (reports the above)

Trump supporters: ZOMG!!!1!11! I'm never listening to Mark again!

More selective outrage probably.

(See last link @ post #22)

See also thread posted yesterday (look under "Limbaugh" for title) where Rush pointed out that MULTIPLE Rubio staffers spread the rumor.

Everybody taking aim @ Cruz -- the Trump-upsters operating in cahoots w/the liberal media -- along with Carson's cronies...aren't provoked over what MULTIPLE Rubio staffers did...but want to go after a single Cruz staffer over the issue.

If people were upset about the issue itself, they go on the offensive vs. both Rubio & Cruz, especially Rubio given he had more staffers spreading the rumor.

But the fact that they haven't -- and don't -- shows people are more interesting in attempting to exploit the issue to demean Cruz than the morality of the issue itself.

You, for example Miss Marmelstein: The news has been out for at least 17 hrs. that multiple Rubio staffers were involved in spreading the rumor. Can you point us to a single post of yours where you've demeaned Rubio over it?

(A simple "yes" or "no" response will do)

“And going home to get a change of clothes? Is Iowa or New Hampshire so rural that he can’t send staff or go himself to buy some more clothes?”

The Judge says there is no "controlling legal authority"

There's no Board of Elections? There's no campaign law that limits what can be mailed? C'mon.

How dare Cruz do this dirty, underhanded corrupt fraudulent trick! This is the lowest of the low. What a liar! What a snake! How dare Cruz tell such a dirty lie about the decent, innocent, upstanding Dr. Carson. We should SUE!! Also Carson’s an incurable pathological child molester who tried to kill his mother with a hammer.

The “LAW” is what 5 black robed justices say it is, nothing more, nothing less.

Actually it doesn't matter what the Supreme's say the law is, if it is not enforced.

If you bothered to look up my posts from yesterday, you’d see that I many times accused Rubio of cheating as well. This is a post about Cruz/Trump.

Don’t you have a Mormon somewhere to smoke out?

Well, great. I commend your consistency. (& I mean it) You're one of the rare "few" on FR.

We now know what kind of loser donnie is.

Looks like we will see what kind of winner he is.

Does anybody want to bet he will shut his mouth when he does?

Repeating something the news reported, that came from a statement by the Carson campaign, is cheating? The efforts by Trump to call into question Carson’s character just weeks earlier, show an obvious deficit of morals on Trump’s part. Carson is a good man who has mastered a knowledge and self-discipline Trump (and the rest) could only hope for. Between the two offenses, I see one that was made in the fog of election night with a flurry of information trying to be disseminated. The other offense, that of trying to impugn a good man, was deliberate and calculated. You say that it’s one thing to say mean things, but cheating is far different. I’d suggest there’s reason to doubt it was cheating, but there’s no doubt the amoral attack against Carson by Trump was deliberate and self-serving. The same motive attached to cheating.
