You know...
I didn’t want to go back through your posting history to see what your thoughts were about how Trump attacked Carson in Iowa...which was the point Carson started dropping in the polls.
Did you express the same concerns when Trump attacked Carson?
Trump attacked Carson’s surgical abilities, childhood memories, his religious experience, and Trump used the term child molestor when talking about Carson.
Now which act do you think cost Carson the most?
A dirty trick? Or Trumps attacks that coincided with Carson’s drop from FIRST place in the Iowa polls.
Cruz publicly apologized for the rumor of Carson dropping out.
Trump won’t/can’t apologize for anything to anyone.
A couple of things about your concerns about the “dirty trick”...
One...we all know the voters of Iowa are not novices. Do you really think they have never seen a dirty trick before?
Two...the story was Cruz and Rubio operatives were spreading the rumor. Did Carson not have people there to refute the rumors?? If not? Why not?
Three...even if Carson had no one there...it would take about 30 seconds on a phone to refute any attempt of “the dirty trick”
I doubt the rumor cost Carson many votes at all...if any!
Now ever since Trump came on the scene...his supporters have told us that one of the reasons they like Trump so much is that he’s going to fight to win.
Well Cruz is fighting to win...he went into Iowa espousing social and fiscal conservative values...took on the ethanol interests...won despite the governor saying “anyone but Cruz”...was gracious when Palin endorsed Trump...and beat everyone. All the while getting the most votes in Iowa caucus history with an 11 person field.
Dirty tricks didn’t get him that win.
Well if length counts toward credibility then your post certain had length.
But I like brevity. Neither Trump, Carson, Rubio, Kasich, Huckabee or Santorum used Shaming mailers and dirty trix emails in Iowa. Just one person did that.
