Greta Van Susteren went off on the Cruz Campaign tonight over their handling of the Ben Carson Caucus scandal.
On Monday Dr. Ben Carson accused the Cruz camp of foul play in the Iowa Caucuses.
Carson said the Cruz camp told voters Carson was dropping out and to support Ted Cruz.
Carson was right to be outraged...
The Cruz camp sent out messages and made calls to all precinct captains that Dr. Carson was dropping from the race.
On Thursday Greta Van Susteren reacted to the Cruz campaign scandal.
Greta Van Susteren: Horrible!... This is appalling!
For some reason to me, what happened that night was terrible. But then when they have time for reflection they make it even worse with this statement tonight. It's just appalling.
Karl Rove: They're circling the wagons. They know they made a big error. They're trying to change the subject and they're circling the wagons.
Greta Van Susteren: Then don't tell me that Senator Cruz apologized! Because all he does is try to make Carson wrong in this whole statement and Carson didn't do anything wrong. It's just completely ridiculous to say Senator Cruz apologized. They got caught. Now they got double caught. This is horrible and shame on the Cruz campaign!
I am going to join windflier in commenting on your post.
That is one of your best posts.
LOL... I too am a workaholic (well, I am now retired) with a type-A personality. One of the many things I used to tell someone assigned to work for me: “You are now on the A-team. Welcome to the fast lane and make no mistake, your career is about to change—up, down or out.” Most of my people went on to become leaders in my profession....I am proud of each of them.
With any candidate, we are going to have risks, but I believe Trump is at the top of the pack. He is driven to be successful at anything he does and he will work around the clock to help make America Great Again.
I have noticed a key word he occasionally uses, it’s “promise”. My read of him is that he is carful with that word and when he says it, it is his bond. Like me, if I make a promise, I will move heaven and earth to keep my word.
If he makes it through this meat grinder B/S political process, he will be an epic leader for our country.
Cheers,
~~Go Trump Go~~
“What a mess Carson is making with this whole thing.
lifeline
Since Jan 31, 2016
Are you a Troll? You sound like a Troll.
Carson hasn’t made any mess. Carson was the victim. Carson has been working for months, spending millions of dollars and making personal sacrifices in hope of serving his country in the highest office in the land. He recently suffered through the deaths of a couple of his staff as well as other management issues. He was not done competing for this job and along comes some of his competition who steal his votes from him. Then, they shine him on and treat him like a dumb sucker.
There is certainly a mess, but it sure as hell wasn’t Carson who made it.
I think you’re a slimy Troll and if I am right, you won’t be here much longer.
Perfectly stated and I almost choked on my burrito from spontaneous laughter. Thanks!
Carson is being a whiny, self-deluding fool. He’s doing the dirty work of the establishment. There’s no evidence even one vote was lost and no CHANCE any amount that would have changed the outcome was.
The statement says Carson will “stop campaigning.” Not “drop out.” That’s an accurate statement. This proves that Cruz’ campaign has been being smeared all week as spreading a rumor that Carson would drop out, when that’s not what they said at all. They reported exactly what CNN said. Any campaign that didn’t report that to their staff would’ve been derelict in their proper duty.
Rush was even saying what a great man Cruz was for taking the blame and not firing a staffer. How can Cruz fire himself???
I turned Rush off after that. Couldn’t take the garbage Rush was dishing out.
I think there will be a lot of voters that come forward and say they were influenced by the tweet. Some are probably wondering if they should get involved. Obviously, Cruz was their second choice, so some of the voters may be thinking about the ethics and what to do. Do they want to hurt there second choice. Or do they want to stand up for their first choice, Dr. Carson. Dr. Carson should set up a web page for these people.
Greta, one of the few good ones at FNC.
Two false premises in one sentence. Impressive.
This person must be a Cruz supporter...They both make things up in an obvious attempt to steal votes for Cruz...
Do you honestly believe that Trump really considered suing over this?
“What kind of person hits the road without a few pair of undies?”
Talk about trying to deflect the conversation. All that is beside the point. Carson boarding a plane does not give Cruz a green light to spread false rumors and steal votes.

“Politicians screw each other over. It is what they do.”
And, it is what they do to us, which is why so many have had it with career politicians of any stripe.
Cruz was so desperate for votes, he tossed his evangelical bona fides in the trash bin where he and his creepy team remain today.
Man, you are such a zombie troll !!!
Don't you know, Our lawyer is better than their lawyer !!!
/sarc for those who need it
LOL!
For a person like Trump who is old school that a man’s word is his bond had to be outraged by this. To cheapen your word is the worst thing you can do to yourself. In his book that was the worst part of all.
For a guy whose word is worth billions has to be both outraged and saddened someone could be bought so cheaply.
Pray America wakes
Bonus points for obscure reference to Blazing Saddles.
I will not be voting Canadian.
