The Low Life never even apologized for trying to steal Ben's followers in the first place. All he offered any kind of apology for was that he "made a mistake" by not sending out follow-up Twitters to cover his rear end after he got caught.
"the low life" ? Look ...you and some other liberals and Trump supporters can try to stir this up all you like .... Its nothing and Cruz will not be hurt by this at all... You don't like Cruz? That's fine...but find a real issue

Look, politics is a rough business and not for the faint of heart. To characterize what the Cruz campaign did as a dirty trick is wrong. They took advantage, and in my mind stretched a news report from CNN, but that's the kind of savvy action you'd expect from a politician. I'm not thrilled with how that went down, but I'm not angry about it either. I love Ben Carson. I am convinced he has a good heart and his peaceful demeanor is wonderful. But the fact is he may not be tough enough for this position. On strictly the issues, I can find very little that I disagree with Cruz on, and He took on obama, the dems AND the GOP in doing what in my mind was the right thing in doing WHATEVER is necessary to stop obamacare by keeping the PROMISE the GOP told us by defunding it.

So be it that it resulted in a gov. shutdown. The media, dems and the feckless GOP portrayed that as Cruz' fault. It didn't make it any less the right thing to do.

The fault was really CNN’s. CNN put out a report with a big chyron underneath saying Carson ‘taking break’ from campaign and then saying he intended to skip NH and South Carolina. This kind of language is common when one is suspending a campaign. The Cruz team was reacting to that.
It also didn’t occur until around 8 pm. At that point people were already caucusing and voting. It would seem unlikely that anyone would change their vote over a report at that point, especially if they were hearing it from an opponent.
Yes and no........when the first tweet came out........yes.......and the Cruz people jumped on it........however, the CNN reporter tweeted TWICE MORE within thirty minutes or so "clarifying" his comment to show that Carson was NOT withdrawing from the Campaign.

EVEN AFTER these clarifying tweets, AND CNN's retraction and correction of their statements..........the Cruz people CONTINUED to put out the untrue statement in order to persuade Carson supporters to come to their side.

This IS THE DIRTY TRICK that should NOT be acceptable to anyone.............just saying

That's pretty much the way Clinton wanted to handle Benghazi. "It's over. It doesn't matter now."





CARSON is the only one acting with integrity in this situation.............suggesting he is being "petty" is a biased opinion only and completely untrue.

Its Carsons own fault that this happened ..and if he wanted to act in integrity? He would admit his mistake and move on ....

Guy they reported it live on TV...it was not just a matter of looking at messages ....you folks, go off and you don't even know the details of what happened.... that's dishonest in itself.

Things like this are done routinely on campaigns, particularly by the odds-on favorite in a convention setting.

It gets to the point where they are not necessarily dishonest, but move quickly on bad intel. Carson would have done the same thing were he better organized and financed. Don't fool yourselves.

I wholeheartedly agree Carson has integrity, but as I said earlier, he is not savvy, and I don't think he's tough enough to be President. What's gonna happen when Putin doesn't play nice? Also, where was his people discounting this report? I don't believe people earnest enough to go out and vote at a caucus isn't going to be wise enough to check and see if what they heard was true.

Speaking of dirty tricks, we have Heel catcher himself, Jacob, who did some trickery of his own. I'm pretty sure the Lord DIDN'T rebuke him for it.

I disagree............and that is why he won't win the Nomination. The American voter is not looking for "honesty, integrity, and truth" in Candidates, they are looking for the Circus Acts and the "I'll give you everything" Candidates.

The American voter get what they deserve.

Ted Cruz is a "give you everything candidate?" Give me a break.

His campaign got excited and a little trigger-happy.

What are you confused about? Whom has Trump victimized?
Well, to start........how about the numerous women he has bragged about leading into adultery? How about their husbands?

How about his first wife? How about the investors who lost millions when he had his businesses declare bankruptcy, and he skated away free and unharmed?

How about all the illegals he painted as murderers and rapists without any justification?

How about all the Muslims he has trashed?

Trump has spent his adult life victimizing people just to enrich himself.

That's ok though, 'cuz he'z sech a strong leader..............

Takes two to tango. Why they cheating on their husbands?

Business is a hardball game there's always risk involved.

There are a lot of illegal immigrants that are actually murderers and rapists. Like a few days after he said that an illegal murdered a woman.

Get real, Islam is totally evil. We need to stop coddling Islam. Let's not play secular/pagan PC games about Islam when they are cutting Christian's heads off because Islam tells them to do it. The followers of Islam are victims only to Islam itself. They should abandon Islam, but they will not. Since they won't give up the demonic religion of Islam therefore Trump is prudent to want to curtail Islam's spread in our country, which is the last major bastion Christianity.

So you pretty much have not been able to show Trump victimizing anyone.

Trashed muslims? Come on..the reason he is winning is because he is the only one that has enough courage to call these barbaric people, what they are. And the illegal immigrants are criminals ...and a large percentage the worse kind of criminal ...as far as what he did 30 years ago with women? Who cares..he is a faithful husband and father now.

Funny how some "conservatives" on the forum ...are never critical of any political candidate ..except conservative candidates that might actually change the mess in DC... I don't get it and doubt they are real conservatives?

Lol there's some "conservatives" that even support communists/socialists like Bernie Sanders. It's a strange political season for sure.

Right, so time to vote for someone who either calls it like it is such as Trump or one whom has the proven experience of good governance such as Kasich.
