Got Integrity?
Posted on 02/11/2016 5:34:37 PM PST by SoConPubbie
While Donald Trump, the GOP Establishment, and the media scramble to undermine Ted Cruz's march to the White House, Cruz's super-fantastic-third-place finish in New Hampshire suggests undecided voters are recognizing that dignity, integrity, and fearlessness are at the core of Ted Cruz's principles and leadership.
It remains an enigma, for me at least, how the Cruz campaign's decision to share CNN's breaking report -- which irrefutably questioned Carson's seriousness about winning the election minutes before the Iowa Caucus began -- turned in to Ted Cruz's "dirty trick."
In fact, the media, Donald Trump, and even Dr. Carson have done a great job burying the reality that caucuses are set up to give supporters the opportunity to persuade one another to get behind the candidate they support. Hence, the Cruz campaign's directive to share CNN's report. After each candidate's supporters make their cases, everyone lines up and the supporters are counted up in front of God and everyone else who is attending. There is no privacy to the voting.
Consequently, the real "dirty trick" is pretending that Carson's supporters were not immediately able to shoot down CNN's report along with the Cruz campaign's bogus conclusion about what it suggested. It's not like Carson supporters don't have smart phones. The entire controversy that Carson's performance might have been negatively affected is an absolute hoax. It is a "dirty trick" that is clearly being used to torpedo the proven Washington outsider, Ted Cruz.
Granted, Dr. Carson probably felt a lot like Ted Cruz did when Donald Trump tried to "steal" votes from Cruz by erroneously speculating that Cruz was not eligible to become president. Carson also probably felt a lot like Ted Cruz did when Marco Rubio tried to "steal" votes from Cruz by falsely alleging that Cruz is a fellow GOP amnesty lover -- just like Rubio still is.
However, unlike Donald Trump and Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz had the common decency to apologize and the integrity and courage to take responsibility for his staff member's erroneous conclusion concerning CNN's report.
Got Integrity?
You got that right.
I don't know why it's owner hasn't stepped in.
It proves how desparate Cruz's supporters are to defend the Cruz campaign. Team Cruz was pushing the "Carson is out thing" an hour and a half after Carson had already repudiated.
Please, tell me what mail fraud.
If you men typical campaign mailers, forgetaboutit.
It is not Ted Cruz that is hated. It is the hypocritical actions he is allowing his campaign to do. If he has integrity he can stop it.
Brilliant!!!!
..Looks like this article ‘proves’ Carson voters are stupid and gullible...
That’s the same thing IRS telephone scammers and email scammers say about their victims.
Iceman...would not get into a battle of wits with someone half-prepared!
Yea, he's jumping for joy for Ted barely beating !Yeb! Talk about aiming low.
I agree.
A naturalized citizen raising money for a campaign for the presidency is fraud.
Cruz has no integrity ...
Cruz & Heidi = the new Bill & Hill
For everyone’s viewing pleasure ...

Just another excuse for Cruz’s dirty tricks. Nothing we haven’t heard already here from supporters excusing lying and intimidation, while ironically blaming the voters.
Just weird.
Cruz is NOT naturalized. Cruz was and is a NBC from birth.
Good grief. It’s a settled issue for everyone but trump worshipers.
Yea, everyone should genuflect when his name is mentioned.
If possible.
Trump said that in jest ..you Cruzbots are grasping at straws ... Cruz can’t win , he creeps people out
It's a political sham set up for corruption. How about just voting? It's real simple. Cuts through all the corruption BS, as long as the counters are scrutinized. It works real good.
I don’t hate Cruz... I just hate his recent tactics. I think he is only hurting his campaign with all of this crap. Robo calling, attack ads, data mining, flat out lying... What else is his campaign going to come up with?
Why isn’t he selling himself or talking about policies?
I know South Carolina is known for ‘rough and tough’ politics, but these tactics certainly don’t make him very likable.
