Where Was Ted Cruz at 06:50 On Caucus Night

My Brain ^ | 02/06/16 | Pat Lynch

[Paddy Irish]

Where was Ted Cruz when the messages started coming out from his camp about Carson dropping out? Standing next to me!

[butterdezillion]

Cruz didn’t say he was dropping out either.

Here’s a quote from CNN:

“Look. If you want to be President of the United States, you don’t go to Florida. I mean, that’s just bottom line. That’s the end of the story.”

[PraiseTheLord]

Who is it paying you to try to DEFLECT ATTENTION from CruzGate — he is TarBaby — full of TAR BALLS. Not going away.

FYI people have all the proof of all the bad things done by Cruz and his people. And Trump let us know that.

[TXSearcher]

I'll help you out... B.S.!

Goodness, conservativejoy, I never knew you had telepathic powers.....but you just stated exactly what I was thinking about this story.

[pilgrim]

“Ben Carson said late Saturday that Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas approached him during an off-camera break at ABC’s Republican debate to apologize for his campaign’s conduct during the Iowa caucuses and requested a one-on-one meeting with him.”

Says requested.

Went to drudge and did not see the “pleads” thanks, drudge or another blogger/reporter/poster would not think of stretching/fudge/embellish the truth! Nah!!!

Just look around us. None of that here. LOL!!!

Did see this CAR 00 DEN 00

Take care.........pilgrim

[VTenigma]

If Carson and his campaign workers are so disengaged from the campaign that they let this slide by on caucus night they really have no business running for president. Enough with this bull already. It’s a moot point, Carson never had a prayer and will be done soon. You people are arguing over the inevitable.

Dr. Carson is a great guy and a great American but he is not going to be president. We all knew it and we all know it.

[biff]

He might as well pack it in and save what campaign cash he has left to pay incidental bills after he drops out. I cannot think of anybody else I would want doing surgery on any of my children or grand children but American politics is so far out of his range of experience he is just plain lost.

This is a battle he lost, he needs to man-up and call it a day because there is nothing he or anyone else can do about it.

[pilgrim]

You told him my thoughts!!!!!!!!!

“Ain’t gonna” to let you near my post again!!!!!!!

LOL!!!

[Georgia Girl 2]

“Ted Cruz is EXACTLY the kind of conservative I want in the White House. Someone who is not afraid fight and to bayonet the wounded”

Thanks but I’ll take Trump. At least he stabs you in the chest not the back.

So far the only person who has been turned from Caucus winner to Paula Deen in less than a week is Ted Cruz.

[Paddy Irish]

I could not see, could be anything. By his body language he did not want me to see. I can’t imagine anything more important than what was going on at the time had his attention.

[butterdezillion]

Who is paying you to keep us fiddling while America’s real vulnerabilities lay wide open to our enemies who happen to own the guy who was illegally placed into our White House?

My concern is to preserve life. The candidates can focus on our REAL enemies and by their actions SHOW US who has what it takes to protect us. And in the process they could actually use their current bully pulpit to actually REALLY protect us. What would be bad about that? Why would ANYBODY want to piddle around with questions of whether alerting people to a CNN story is “dirty”?

I used to like Ben Carson. Not so much any more.

I used to like Donald Trump. It’s going to take a quite a bit for him to win me back.

The way ANY of them will win me back is by actually looking out for this country and not just their own stinkin’ fame. Their fame is not going to keep my kids from being raped by Islamic sleeper cells after an EMP attack. Their fame is not going to feed my kids if our enemies attack to collapse our economy.

[M.K. Borders]

Yes, we should make “nice war”.

I for one am tired of being shellacked like a gentleman.

I’m ready to vote for someone who is willing to trade skin with someone. His people repeated a news story for crying out loud.

If Carson can’t take it, is it not better to know now before he squares off with Hillery?

[HereInTheHeartland]

” I arrived at 06:40 and almost immediately and Rand Paul arrived and gave a 7 minute speech. Ted Cruz arrived right after Paul all by himself.”

Interesting. I am almost certain a friend of mine said Cruz was at his Clive ( near Des Moines) precinct; roughly the same time.

[dynoman]

Ted lied.

Check out @CNNPolitics’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/CNNPolitics/status/696194244470509569?s=09

[eartrumpet]

He seemed a little nervous as I was behind him. He spent most of his time with his head against the wall looking down at the floor

You must be very thin.

[alstewartfan]

Such BS. It was such an important message to voters that Ted himself didn’t use it. Ted is such a good guy!

[HereInTheHeartland]

“He was checking his smart phone almost at the exact time there would have been all those messages from staffers and such. “

Also why would he not be looking at his smartphone a few moments before one of the biggest moments of his career?

I look at mine quite a lot; and I am not running for President.

[butterdezillion]

That’s almost a 2-hour drive away. No way he could be at both places before the voting started.

[Fresh Wind]

EVERYONE is claiming it was Cruz alone doing this

That's a lie.

Paragraphs are our friend ....


I am a registered voter in Precinct 19 in Cedar Rapids.

On the night of the caucus, my first, I arrived early. Precinct 19 and 21 were in a side room of the convention center while other precincts were in other parts of the hotel.

I arrived at 06:40 and almost immediately and Rand Paul arrived and gave a 7 minute speech.

Ted Cruz arrived right after Paul all by himself.

I saw him come around the door and our eyes met. I shook hands with him and told him it was nice to meet him.

He was friendly and seemed comfortable standing next to me against the wall towards the back of the room.

He was behind his supporters who did not notice him and I think he wanted it that way for a while so he could make his speech and such.

I stood right next to him during the time he was waiting to speak. He seemed a little nervous as I was behind him.

He spent most of his time with his head against the wall looking down at the floor and kind of out of the corner of his eye he would check me once in a while.

At first I thought he was nervous about me being so close to him.

It didn't hit me until later what he was doing with his head down against the wall checking me because I don't have a smart phone.

Then later after hearing about the hit on Carson it came to me.

He (Ted Cruz) was checking his smart phone almost at the exact time there would have been all those messages from staffers and such.

I was there, I saw it. I am a registered voter and a Trump supporter.

Cruz did not mention anything about Carson in his speech to us. His speech was longer than 7 minutes.

No way he didn't know about the hit on Carson. Ask me what he was wearing.


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


Question-1 : So Ted Cruz didn't even mention Ben Carson ?

That "fact" confirms that Ted Cruz (personally) was NOT trying to sabotage Ben Carson's (flailing) campaign.

Otherwise, Ted Cruz would have personally mentioned the CNN News Report (as forwarded by Marco Rubio's staff).


Question-2 : Did the observer actually see Ted Cruz using his cellphone, or does the observer merely assume that Ted Cruz is using his cellphone ?


Question-3 : The observer refers to the alleged "hit" on the Ben Carson Campaign.

A) Is the observer's "hit" reference about Donald Trump calling Ben Carson a murderous psychopath ?

B) Is the observer's "hit" reference about Ben Carson's campaign leadership QUITTING before the Iowa vote ?

C) Is the observer's "hit" reference about CNN (Wolf Blitzer, et al) saying that Ben Carson's announced post-Iowa Florida visit "very peculiar" ?

D) Is the observer's "hit" reference about Iowa Voters DISCOVERING that Ben Carson's campaign bus had been traveling around Iowa EMPTY as a public relations charade ?


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



I will state a "truth".

If Dr. Ben Carson wasn't black, his sorry-@ss fraudulent political campaign would have been booed off the American national stage MONTHS ago.


Dr. Ben Carson's behavior is EXACTLY like O.J. Simpson's Ford Bronco ride down the L.A. Freeway ... a DESPERATE last-minute GRASP at fame and fortune.



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.



I now see Dr. Ben Carson as a political dip-$hiT.

That's right. Dip-$hiT.

Why ?

Dr. Ben Carson's Deer-in-the-Headlight look entering the New Hampshire debate stage was pathetic.

It looked weird. Very strange.

After learning that Ben Carson had an EMPTY campaign bus driving around Iowa, I suspected that Ben Carson might not even ENTER the debate hall.

Donald Trump came to Ben Carson's rescue (the poor whittle thing) and helped Ben Carson walk-out onto the stage.

And Dr. Ben Carson has the AUDACITY to believe that he's sane / emotionally-stable enough to open up the Nuclear Launch Suitcase ?



And then there's his whiney-ass "poor whittle me" slap in the face "act" toward the SECOND public apology offered by Ted Cruz.


I will state a "truth".

If Dr. Ben Carson wasn't black, his sorry-@ss fraudulent political campaign would have been booed off the American national stage MONTHS ago.



And of course, EVERYTHING wrong with Dr. Ben Carson's campaign is Ted Cruz's fault.

What a crock !



It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Donald Trump called Ben Carson a violent psychopath ... and Ben Carson did a lousy job of fighting back (/sarcasm-off).

It's clearly Ted Cruz's fault that Ben Carson embraced a lunatic theory about Egyptian Pyramids (/sarcasm-off).



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 Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum have had the grace and dignity to drop-out.



Dr. Ben Carson's behavior is EXACTLY like O.J. Simpson's Ford Bronco ride down the L.A. Freeway ... a DESPERATE last-minute GRASP at fame and fortune.



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 ...

You need some more facts and pay attention to them.

Slimy Canadians hiring known low life to run campaign — and it goes on from there. This is what you think running our country would be a good thing? You better think again.

I posted the following earlier today:

FYI on Infowars last week, Roger Stone [Trump op] explained something I havent heard told about:

Cruz campaign, with guy running it with slimy background, spent a LOT of TIME and MONEY, ahead of time, planning bad against Carson. Doing deep expensive mining to find potential Carson supporters, etc etc

We know some — as the mailers, and the liars appointed at caucuses -

---

You seem to be consciously ignoring pertinent facts. Like if you want it that way — I still wonder who is paying you. Do you still have money problems in your household ~
