Cruz, Carson Held Secret Meeting About Dirty Tricks In A Closet
thedailybeast.com ^ | February 20

Posted on 02/20/2016 2:31:39 AM PST by Helicondelta

Two grown men running for president met in a storage closet last night. The meeting, called by Ted Cruz in an attempt to mend fences with Ben Carson ahead of the South Carolina primary, was held on Thursday night before the Conservative Review convention. The two huddled in the unusual venue for nearly 20 to 25 minutes, as Carson's Secret Service detail stood outside, according to a Republican operative who witnessed the strange scene.

Do you hate Cruz because he's Latino?? You know, this is the first time that it occurred to me that some folks here might be going batshit wild about Trump because of a racial (not "racist") sentiment. Nevermind, it was just a thought, but there has to be some reason FREEPERS will all but sell their soul to the devil to elect Trump.

You look like a newb but sound like a retread. My guess, with that Feb 2016 sign up, is JR banned you for a nasty attitude but you just couldn't stay away....

If any Carson voter really changed their vote in Iowa on the word of an opponent's operative, they are too stupid to even be voting.

I thought Conservatives & Trumpsters were all about personal responsibility?

I wasn't too early in the morning to fool the mod!

I've been trying to figure out which nasty Trump bomb thrower it was.

Oldsalt admitted in one of his earlier posts that he is a retread.

It’s good to see lightning can strike him twice. :)

Crass newbies bloviating for Trump = paid shills. After Nov you will take your 30 pieces and sail away.

I addressed him here, responding to one of his posts to someone else. You can follow our conversation, but he can no longer give me his next nasty reply, oh darn: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3399497/posts?page=72#72

I have no obligation to you either. It is not my job to comment on anything or everything someone running for office says. The self righteousness of the Cruz supporters seems to know no bounds. All you and your candidate are good at is attacking everyone that does not follow "me too" Ted. It is the nastiness and untruthfulness of Cruz and he ardent followers that is sinking Teds' campaign. Even the mild mannered Rand Paul called Ted Cruz a liar.

Cruz used to be second choice for a lot of freepers but now he is on the "will never for for ever" list of many.

And you, my FREEPER friend, are a diehard Trump activist who really doesn't care about all those other candidates.

Why are we supporting Trump? We are in a war with the Marxist globalists and we are at war with Islam and we are losing both wars. The country needs a leader that is unabashedly an American first. A leader that will defend America, rebuild the military, secure the border, defend Christianity, bring back manufacturing jobs and deport illegals. Prior to Trump getting in, NO ONE was talking about any of these things. NO ONE.

If we do not fix immigration this election cycle the country is done, the constitution is dead and we the people are screwed. That is why we the people are getting behind Trump. It got zero to do with right/left. It's survival.

I guess is Phyllis Schlafly is not a conservative either. Trump is 'last hope for America'. Some people can see the forest thru the trees others can't.

Carson was given SS protection about the same time as Trump. Evidently there are credible threats to his Carsons’ life.

“Carson, Trump, Rubio and Paul have all accused Cruz of lying.”

Well, that, in and of itself, means very little to me. Where did I read, “men will speak all manner of evil about you”? Just because people accuse you of lying doesn’t make it true.

Have Cruz and/or some of his PACs campaigned very aggressively? Yes, absolutely. But, as Cruz points out, a big part of their ads are the actual words of Trump and Rubio. They just don’t like that they are being called on it, and all they seem to be able to do about it is call Cruz a liar.

“Ben Carson’s reaction to Ted Cruz’s apology during last debate.”

And, what is your point about it? What SHOULD be someone’s reaction to an apology?
