Take a deep breath and slow down.
OK, I’ll give you all the points you raise. Now, where did CNN say that Carson was “suspending or dropping out? Again, if the Cruz campaign saw the original tweet that said Carson was going to Florida until Thursday...how come they didn’t see the tweet that said he wasn’t dropping out?
You can’t have it both ways. Forget Carson, he’s as good as gone. My beef is your boy says he isn’t the typical Washington politician, quotes scripture and wraps himself in his outsider status. Truth is, he’s just another politician who will do ANYTHING to get a vote.
I was optimistic when Cruz announced. I listened to his speech at Liberty University and thought here is someone I can support. Since that time though, I’ve come to realize he’s not exactly who he says he is.
You may be interested in another thread, just started, that says Cruz may be involved in push-polling in South Carolina.
I take no issue with your support of Cruz, But I do find it tough to take when his supporters resort to “blaming the victim” as a defense. You know...” he’s almost out of money...it’s unusual to take a break during a campaign...her clothes were too tight...she was asking for it...” If you want my vote, be a stand-up guy.
Lee Atwater...sure I know of him. Ronald Reagan too. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, 41 and 43 too. I worked on each of their local details when I was still an active LEO.
So I guess Ted should change his slogan from “TrusTed” to “TrusTed...just don’t look behind the curtain...”
THey said he was leaving Iowa , he left before the caucus, which he did that he was not going to NH or SC the next 2 pivotal primaries, which he has not and that there would be a “major announcement” from the campaign, which there has been he has gutted his staff.
When you add all these things up it sure looks like a suspending of the campaign.
Additionally the campaign leadership has been in chaos, it is very likely that people who left still are in contact with people in the campaign about 70 people at this point. They may have very good info on what is going on internally.
I don’t care about the push polling Reagan did push polling did you ever hear about Lee Atwood he was no choirboy.
As to not being a typical politician, IMHO Cruz fits that description. I base on his actions while in congress not by campaigning and playing hardball.
HE stood against Obamacare as he told his constituents he would, he stood against the gang of eight bill, he called out McConnell when lied about the export import bank he and Paul opposed the collection of meta data of American citizens by the NSA.
Is he perfect?
No way, but Jesus isn’t walking through the door to run for office. He is the best I have seen since Reagan.
Politics is a tough business,. Carson is a nice guy AFAIK but the guy is a marshmallow.
He is the strongest on all the issues and it ain’t close. Especially compared the the narcissist rmp the RIMO’s or Carson who was in way over his head.
Cruz is facing Trump the establishment both Dem and Pub and the Media including Foz. He isn’t going to win by being polite to everyone. This is a bare knuckled fight to try to save the country.
He shouldn’t give any quarter because he won’t be treated fairly or given any quarter.
Ever been in a war, you fight to stay alive and the other guy isn’t concerned about the rules.
