No where in anything you have produced is the ‘snitch’ or so called Republican operative been linked to the Carson campaign...

You’ll have to get over fighting the Iowa fight.

It’s over. Cruz won.

Cruz will ALWAYS have Iowa.

From a guy who just joined 15 days ago, you might take an abject lesson on how to win friends and influence people.

Left out one.

America is full of dumb shiites that need their Reality TV fix and Donald Trump is it.

Bye Bye America. Been nice knowing you.

Bought the ammo and now it is time to start really getting ready to use it.

Right, move on,Iowa’s a done deal, yet some Cruzers are still fighting that battle. Glory Days I suppose.

“The negatives will get worse in the general, when the media begins their all-out attacks.”

Trump has a habit of hitting back, unlike the usual Republican candidate.

He will wrap Hillary’s sordid and corrupt record tightly around her neck.

“Ben Carson had his team tell CNN he wouldn’t be campaigning in NH or SC”

Number 1, Carson’s team never said that, and Number 2, the words “dropping out of the race” was never said by anyone but Cruz and his campaign.

As a poster said elsewhere, all the other campaigns were monitoring CNN, and no other campaign said what Cruz said, or got his take on the reports.

“If they voted that way because of that reason they were missled by the media not the pope”

Trump was up in the polls about the same before the Pope’s remarks. Probably had no effect.

But that only tells us about those people, not about God. God keeps on testing us to see if we will accept Him on basis of His merit, not on the basis of worldly show.

It seems to me that we are seeing a replay of when the children of Israel demanded that God give them a king. God has given this nation ordered liberty instead of defeating Pharaoh, manna from heaven and a fiery pillar; but ordered liberty seems to be distasteful.

We will have a king!

Please check that your seat belts are snug and your tray tables returned to their upright position.

fireman15 I commend you, whom I know to be a Trump supporter, for an even-handed and perhaps even charitable analysis of Cruz’s candidacy. It’s a pity that your classy and fair-minded comments aren’t the standard these days.

I think this campaign is basically coming down to attitude over ideology. Insurgent voters are a clear majority in these primaries, and more insurgent Republican voters are resonating with Trump’s attitude than with Cruz’s intellect and credentials. But attitude is a double-edged sword; while it has reliably attracted a plurality of Republican voters, Trump’s attitude also repels a number of people. It is no longer clear to me that the insurgent vote will ultimately stick together in this contest, and I actually expect Rubio to now emerge as the nominee.

All the best to you fireman15.

Check the 2008 primaries also. McCain won SC but lost Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia, Kansas and Louisiana to Huckabee. So South Carolina is not really part of the social conservative lane.

Wait a sec. A few weeks ago, we were told Cruz didn't do well in New Hampshire because it was not conservative enough. Now South Carolina with 70% evangelicals is not conservative enough?

“So three small states have voted and its over, is that correct? “

Well it was enough to get 12 of the original 17 candidates to drop out. March 1 should take out 4 of the remaining 5.

I've got news for you. As an evangelical who cares about 43 year of American child sacrifice (abortion), Rubio is on my radar, Trump ain't.

And then there are the voters who watched their jobs go to Mexico. They don't have the luxury to worry too much over abortion.

As far as most Trump supporters are concerned the primaries where over and Trump had one it all. Just put him in the Oval office...

Trump might end up there, but he’s gotta earn it, Just like anyone else.

Do you really think Rubio will do ANYTHING

Look, I don't have the dead cetainty about it that I have with Trump and his future SCOTUS sister. But as long as Cruz is in on March 5th, it's irrelavant.

Correct. The media loves Trump at the moment. Once he wins the nomination they will 180 on him and destroy him.

They will attempt to destroy anyone that wins the GOP nomination, but Trump has a lot of skeletons in his closet. They will all come out in the general.

The "luxury" of innocent blood is God's job. He "worries" about it.

Isaiah 2:19
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

Ted Cruz is a badly flawed candidate (lies, cheat, backed by nutcase Glenn Beck) whose campaign is dying on the vine!!! A vote for Ted Cruz is a wasted vote!!!
