Chris Stigall: Stop Blaming Ted Cruz For Ben Carson Rumors
CBS News ^ | February 4, 2016 | Chris Stigall

Posted on 02/05/2016 8:40:21 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

Philadelphia (CBS) – Chris Stigall criticized presidential candidates Ben Carson and Donald Trump for blaming Ted Cruz after rumors were spread by his supporters in the moments before the Iowa Caucus that Carson was dropping out and returning home to Florida.

Stigall, on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT, said this entire controversy is Carson’s fault for running such a poor campaign and making mistakes that can be exploited by his opponents.

“These people are in perpetual, constant dog fights. On the mic, off the mic, on the camera, off the camera, on Twitter, they’re never off, they’re never off, they never go away. You certainly do not go away before votes have been cast in the first state in the union to vote. You don’t get on a plane and say, I’m going home for some R and R, I’ll catch you Thursday at the prayer breakfast. You are a political neophyte if you’re out there crying in your beer for Ben Carson. I’m more irritated at Carson than I am Trump, actually. Carson out there [saying] that’s a dirty trick. No, you’re a bad, bad candidate Doctor, and I respect you a lot sir. I think you’re brilliant man, a man of God. But that is a stupid, stupid campaign move at this level. And to blame it on Cruz? Please.”

Yep, Carson has nobody to blame but his own campaign.

Ted Cruz 2016!

It’s for face saving for Trump and his supporters. He can’t “lose.”

And it’s successful in distracting media attention from his loss.

I don’t believe Trump believes it; if he really has to, he needs help.

You’ve got an unhealthy fixation with Goldman Sachs.

Should I call the police on myself?

No.

When the dots are connected, from Cruz’s
SECRET loans, to his SECRET helping initiate
the vote to ObamaTRADE, to his wife,
to the CLinton’s, they all intersect with
Goldman Sachs.

Follow the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Indeed, after the huge Trumpertrantrum on twitter about how Cruz cheated, how Trump really won, how he abused poor Ben Carson, how the Iowa caucuses needed to be nullified and a new caucus held just for Donald Trump...the Donald Trump turned around on a dime, as though he had finally got around to taking his meds, and said “I don’t care about that anymore.”!!!

The dude is seriously unhinged.

A real leader takes responsibility for those under him.

How buffoonish is this rant? You are tying Cruz to the Clintons after Trump admits to you he paid them off through their foundation to get what he wanted for his empire and openly supported them when he was a registered Democrat.

Trump supporters - facts are meaningless.

So we shouldn’t blame Cruz and his stooges for lying and cheating and stealing votes from Carson? It’s all Carson’s fault!

I am NOT a Carson admirer. But the fact remains that Cruz’s guys knowingly lied to the poll officials about what Carson was doing, in order to steal votes, and that Cruz knew what was being done and presumably ordered it.

The fact that we are still talking about this 5 days after the Iowa caucus
is not a positive thing for Cruz,

" is it my fault that i was robbed? "

Is the thief any less of a thief in your scenario?

That thief is Ted, the supposed" body of Christ".

Did Goldman Sachs kill your puppy?

Or are they big in the Illuminati, pulling the strings to create a new world order that will dominate our lives in a dystopian future ruled by killer robots?

Any proof how many votes were actually stolen? Anyone from Iowa come out and say they were lied to by Cruz to vote for him? Does any serious candidate leave a polling state early and announce he’s not going near the next two states......and is to be taken seriously?

Does it suck not to think for yourself?

Not even close. I suggest you read the other side of the story before you go calling Ted Cruz a liar and a cheater.

Here’s a good place to start:

And while you’re at it, it’s a bit off topic ...

Sure it is, it exposes Donald Trump for the unhinged maniac and liar that he is, how the media cooperates with his lies, and vindicates Ted Cruz by showing he is a warrior for truth, justice and the American way!

I LOVE THESE THREADS!

What “secret” loan? The one that everyone’s talking about? Or some super-secret loan that you have inside information about?

You understand that Goldman Sachs is kinda big, and that all kinds of people do work with them.

Trump himself has taken loans from Goldman Sachs, and is a shareholder in the company. ( http://www.redstate.com/leon_h_wolf/2016/01/21/know-else-received-loans-citibank-goldman-sachs-donald-trump/ )
