Using public intel about Carson's bizarre, half-hearted campaign behavior is doing the quick witted work it takes to win the Iowa Caucus not corruption.
The Cruz Administration Is Coming.

A year ago, I wrote:
For me, the issue this US election season is the corruption. Sure, I'd like a balanced budget and less debt and repeal of Obamacare, but I'm getting used to being sold out on those issues. So I'm down to the bare minimum requirement for a politician: The corruption nauseates me, and, if it doesn't nauseate the candidates, then that explains a lot about why nothing happens on any of those other matters. It's in the air, it's in my nostrils, and I'm sick of choking on it. We have a "justice" department that prosecutes a senator who made the mistake of crossing the President (Menendez) but declines to do anything about a tax collector who treats American taxpayers differently on the basis of how they vote (Lerner). We have a revenue agency that regards itself as the paramilitary wing of the ruling party. We have replaced equality before the law with a hierarchy of privilege, so that no-name ambassadors can be fired for breaking federal record-keeping requirements by a department whose boss outsources her federal records to her own server and then mass-deletes them with no more thought than when she's parking her van in the handicapped space. We have a federal police agency in which 26 out of its 28 hair analysts gave false testimony favorable to the prosecution. We have a cabinet officer who managed to get more firepower deployed to toss her designated scapegoat videomaker into the county jail than she assigned to the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi. We have a president who rules by decree on everything from immigration to health care - and a legislature of castrati too craven to object.
I would like a candidate who promises to hose out the sewer.

Thanks for posting. Good essay by Steyn.

“Let me say that I personally don’t care for Rubio, who is the kind of canned over-disciplined on-message candidate that makes me despair of politics: in media interviews, his answers to almost any question are like modular furniture, with the same half-dozen stump-speech lines chopped up and re-assembled and invariably concluding with the ultimate banality of the hustings that “this election is about the future”. But, if you’d never heard Rubio speak before Monday, he came over as a crisp effective candidate making the most of his time on national TV. By contrast, Cruz’s unfocused ramble of a victory speech left you wondering how the hell this guy won the state.” (Mark Stein)

After reading the article to my wife, her answer was that Rubio is just another Obama without the teleprompter.
I am so grateful that we have Mark Steyn.
Unfortunately, there is a pattern developing with Cruz. You see, I like Steyn, am choking on the foul stench of sleaze. If you want to go back to the beginning with Cruz, you need to see how conveniently he has changed his mind on the issue of POTUS eligibility. I know this article has been posted here before, but not in the context of the recent campaign deceptive practices. I hope I do not have to spell out to you how damning the quoted statement by Cruz is in this article.

Rubio run Tea Party for senate
I even sent him money
Goes to DC. And drinks the coolaid
I will stay home if it’s Rubio
I have one question, that I keep asking without an answer yet. Have we located any voters in Iowa, who were going to vote for Carson, but decided not to upon hearing of Carson suspending his campaign?
Vote Trump.
Check FR. The article is from an Iowa paper. Remember to say: oh, it’s only one person so that doesn’t count. That’s what all the Cruz supporters are now screaming.

If it’s anyone other than Trump, I’m going to take down Old Glory and run up the Lone Star flag.
So when CNN makes an announcement that looks like Mr. Carson is dropping out, that 'news' is spread through the staff--and they quit looking. That was good news for them, and they'd found it.
The Uniparty can win without our help.
Some good thoughts on this thread this morning.
Did everyone happen to read this?
Why Ted Cruz’s Facial Expression Makes Me Uneasy
There’s something about the man that bothers me. He’s a great speaker. I even think he’d make Trump look foolish in a debate because Trump is not a professional debater. He would be probably the best SCOTUS judge ever.
But there’s something that bother me about him.
I agree with what your wife says about Rubio. These people all like apprentices next to Trump. They have no business being considered for the presidency.
No, we haven’t. But we (Cruz supporters) have to ask ourselves would we have preferred a victory in Iowa without the taint that has been caused by the tweet and mailer flaps?
In your heart of hearts you must say yes.
Yes, but wouldn’t your explanation be more satisfying coming from the Cruz campaign itself? Just inferring this rationale or leaving it up to people to winnow it out for themselves makes it LOOK like dissembling on their part.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children”s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” - Ronald Reagan
Less than thirty years after Reagan left office, he is once again proven right.
