    Normally I would have thought Carson might throw his support for Cruz but after Iowa it is doubtful but who knows? Stranger things have happened.

    At the minimum it was sloppy reporting from CNN and although they never said Carson was leaving the race they left the impression he was saying that he was not going to New Hampshire or South Carolina but Florida. I put more blame on this on the Cruz campaign who took the story and ran with it without bothering to check with Carson to confirm it but CNN is not without fault here either.

    Carson showed a lot of character in how he handled this by accepting the apology from Cruz. Carson said he would like to see some accountability from the Cruz campaign which I agree with. Too many times we see this out of Washington where politicians say they take full responsibility on issues but there are never consequences. I do think Cruz should fire some people on his campaign staff who were not responsible in how they handled this. I don't for a second think Cruz himself had anything to do with it though.

    CNN never said he was leaving the race, and then they explicitly said he's not leaving the race just before 7PM.

    Cruz's people made the phone calls at 7:30, after everything was 100% clarified and it was 100% clear he wasn't leaving the race.

    Cruz, his campaign manager, and everybody else was fully aware of what they were doing - they did it anyway. They tried to use CNN and even Trump as a scape goat before they apologized. Even Karl Rove explained how fucked up it was and he's the biggest anti-Trump man there is (aside from Glen Beck).

    At the debate tomorrow Cruz is going to get bent over by Trump and it'll end with Cruz endorsing the establishment favorite Rubio (because Cruz is the establishment)

    After super Tuesday everybody will have dropped out and endorsed Rubio - with the exception of maybe Carson/Huckabee who may endorse Trump.

    I put the blame on Cruz but still say sloppy reporting from CNN that left the impression Carson was leaving the race. Don't count on Trump winning any debates over Cruz as Cruz is the best debater in the bunch. After super tuesday Cruz will still be in the race. it will be a three man race to the finish.

    I got a 6 pack that says Cruz doesn't win more than 1 of the super tuesday states - I'd say 0, but Texas could be pretty close.

    I wouldn't donate to or bet on politics but we'll see soon enough. Cruz is the most conservative candidate in the field and these are the voters who actually come out and vote in the primaries. Cruz will do better than you are predicting. What will hurt Cruz is that he really needed to pick up the Carson voters but that probably won't happen now but he will still have plenty of support from the conservative base.

    I'm pretty confident Cruz will do better than you are predicting so let's do something beneficial here. $20 to St. Judes hospital on this? I have never heard anything negative about this organization other than they do a great work.

    Yea that's fine. I'll even lump in NH with the super Tuesday states. I think recent polling in NH has Rubio ahead of Cruz.

    Maybe, sometimes.

    Nothing works like normal when you have Trump. Normally you'd expect the home territory to benefit people - like Florida for Rubio/Bush, or Ohio for Kasich, but you have Trump who has defied polling everywhere so who knows.

    I like how you're burning through all the candidates trying to find one you like.

    I like the fact that he's had Carson on a ticket with nearly every other candidate at some point

    He's doing whatever mental gymnastics he can to keep Carson in there

    He has dropped curse words before but idk about the F bomb. Really though who cares that's pretty much half his appeal is he's blunt.

  • Trump said on Hannity tonight that he didn't really -say- the fbomb....

    I really have to start driving and hiking.

    can't even stand to watch fox news for very long....

  • His supposed appeal is that he isn't a polished politician and that he says what he wants. Trump supporters had better not cry about it now.

  • One thing I agree with Trump about is almost all our politicians are beholden to special interest groups who pay big money to help them win elections. You know this money is not being given out of charity, they want something in return and many times our bought and paid for politicians give it to them.

    Cruz gets nice kickbacks from Goldman Sachs. Like a job for his wife, and probably himself once he's out of politics.

    Also is a champion for the big oil guys.

    Trump admittedly is the only one self financing and (apparently) not beholden to special interests groups but that didn't stop him from pandering in Iowa by supporting ethanol subsidies. It is amazing Cruz won Iowa with the popular Iowa republican governor coming out against Cruz (for not supporting ethanol mandates).
