What an incredibly sophisticated and meaningful comment. It totally typifies Trump followers in just a few words.

I understand that Ben Carson privately accepted Cruz apology for what happened, even though it was really nothing.

Carson has made noises about moving past this but, well, this is the only publicity Carson has gotten in a while and he is tempted to milk it.

By the way, I like to remind Carson about the things Trump said about him a few weeks ago. Cruz has never spoken so ill of Carson as Trump did.

Yes. The fake bus was pretty pathetic.

I don’t think Carson has the energy to campaign.

You obviously haven’t done your homework.

And because Cruz cheaters are continuing their BS, the story is not dying as it should.

Try and do quality research to keep FR at a level that is admirable rather than resort to crap remarks.

Exactly. The more I hear from Cruz the less I like the guy.

Yes, King's tweet says it looks like Carson is out. He didn't say Carson announced he was out, or that he was definitely out. Well, a campaign that just lost its biggest donor and a good portion of its staff in the next primary state, and is having money troubles, suddenly announces that the candidate is going home and has no events in the next 2 primary states scheduled. Yeah, that certainly LOOKS like the candidate may be out.

This entire episode I lay flatly at the foot of Carson......and he will ride this wave for however long he can. ..as you say “Milk it” for the media attention.
He’s angry he didn’t get to make his exit his way....because he foolishly thought he could play in the political theater without a clue of those dynamics.

What would he have done in a surgical theater if his staff was threatening to walk out during surgery.....go change his clothes in Florida and then attend a Prayer breakfast in Washington?...I think not.... there’s some shifty stuff Carson’s pulling off here trying to be a victim of his own demise.

At two GOP Debate Watch Parties (Quaker Steak & Lube, St. Pete, FL) I have openly praised Dr. Ben Carson and encouraged all attendees to watch his movie "Gifted Hands", although I am an official Ted Cruz Florida Campaigner.

Having said that, Dr. Ben Carson, as brilliant as he is, has run a disasterous Presidential Campaign.



Dr. Ben Carson is now whining about a pathetic fourth-place Iowa finish, BLOWING his previous 4-week straight Iowa polling lead.

And of course, it's ALL Ted Cruz's fault.



It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson suspended his Presidntial campaign for two week to promote Carson's new book (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that one-half of Ben Carson's campaign team leadership QUIT two weeks before the Iowa vote (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson wasted two weeks on a STUPID Middle East visit, instead of campaigning in all of Iowa's 99 counties (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Dr. Ben Carson's debate performances have been PATHETIC ... or worse (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Dr. Ben Carson announced that Carson was leaving Iowa for a Florida trip (and NOT campaigning in Iowas) ... (/sarcasm-off).



Picture yourself as an Iowa Caucus Voter.


If CNN had floated a political rumor that Donald Trump was going to suspend his campaign after Iowa ... NO ONE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT.

Why ?

Donald Trump (like him or not) is a GENUINELY serious Presidential candidate.


If CNN had floated a political rumor that Marco Rubio was going to suspend his campaign after Iowa ... NO ONE WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT.

Why ?

Marco Rubio (like him or not) is a GENUINELY serious Presidential candidate.



In the 2016 GOP Presidential race, Dr. Ben Carson is simply a black version of Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Rand Paul, and Jim Gilmore.

Maybe nice guys ... but NONE really serious about getting elected President.


At least Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum have had the grace and dignity to drop-out.



All Dr. Ben Carson wants to do is whine about BLOWING his (once incredible) Iowa lead ...

Maybe Dr. Ben Carson can go contemplate his "political stupidity" in one of those Egyptian Pyramid Grain Silos ...

see post #113 ...

Dr. Ben Carson LOST Iowa because he is a “politically inept, stupid presidential campaigner” who appears to be more interested in book tours and Egyptian Pyramid Grain Silos ...

than WINNING a brutal presidential election.

Dr. Ben Carson ... all smiles and whining ... very little LET’s WIN attitude.

Just a little aside----Ben Carson's wife was at an Iowa caucus when Cruz/s desperate trick to get votes was in play. She asked if she could speak on the subject....she told the caucus goers none of it was true....Carson was still running.

Incidentally, Carson won that caucus.

=================================================

Greta is not a Carson supporter.....but she went ballistic when she reported on the Cruz campaign/s intellectually facile response to his critics. ...claiming they used Carson/s own resignations words....when no such words exist.

Here is Cruz pushing birthright citizenship, defending anchor babies like Rubio to be able to be president. This man is dangerous! Aug. 13, 2011. Under a minute and the same smarmy Cruz lawyereze BS. And no, he didn’t mention he was born in Canada. It took him 3 more years to figure that one out.

God bless you, Liz. Important work.

As for Trump, though, I hope he goes back to tackling anit-patriots.

Liz, that example of Mrs. Carson being present inside the caucus is key.

She saw how the scheme worked first hand, with eyes wide open. The chronology of the first Cruz tweet from the Carson camp, to the CNN Live reports of that tweet, to the subsequent Cruz electronic communications are all time- stamped.

The Cruz campaign was the only campaign to start this ball rolling claiming the entire misinformation theme came from the Carson camp.

Cruz is suppose to be the smartest guy in the room. No body wanted to get confirmation on news of that magnitude directly from Dr. Carson.

You can’t be too careful with what you’re hearing, and as O’Reilly said, CNN should not have gone with a story of that magnitude when based on a damn tweet from a Cruzer with a phone.

Thanks for the link.

This strange Canadian has no gravitas whatsoever....and next to none of the necessary presidential instincts.

Cruz resembles a Whirling Dervish.....he takes 3-4 positions on every issue...then lies in wait to see which position benefits him.

When he gets flak for an errant position, he denies it.

You can always tell when he knows he/s in trouble....he starts twitching and gesticulating wildly...... and pulls out his Bible.
