    It's over!

    The proof was already piling up, but with these recordings only the most asylum padded room qualified crazies would defend Cruz this time.

    Seems it was 100% intentional. This will be great fuel T the New Hampshire debate. Then again the media may hurt him before then.

    Ted messed up baadddddd. He deserves alllll attacks and if any, consequences for his crap.

    sheesh, Look like Trump has an argument for Winning after all. If Cruz is going to pull these tactics he will be losing any support from me.

    Interesting stuff though. I am curious how Cruz responds to this. It looks like he's been caught from this.

    Carson and Cruz are both penny dreadfuls.

    Forgive me for not knowing how this works exactly, but is it plausible that this decision was made a step or two below Cruz? Full disclosure: I think Cruz is a total moron.

    He knew about it and helped spread it. The voicemails and their time tables make this a very bad situation for Cruz. Before this there was already tweet, verbal, written, and phone text evidence. Now I don't see any back doors to slick his way out this one.

    Why doesn't Cruz just stick with what he is good at, reading Green Eggs and Ham as an attempt to harm the country and cause it to default on it's debts.

    Carson outperformed the polls despite this screw job. If only he had better people running his campaign.

    SC will be the indicator on how this will affect Cruz. Buncha evangelicals in SC, lets see how they feel about the true conservative being exposed as a liar and a cheat. Question is how many will stay home or go elsewhere. One thing to remember about the evangelical crowd here is that it is a whole different ballgame with the evangelicals here. Lots of really small country seriously Bible thumper churches rather then the vegas style mega churches. Regional differences also exist within the demographics, lots of variable will be worth watching on primary night

    My guess is you will see this shift happen in New Hampshire. It opens up probably the only door Bush is going to get. He should pull back money from NH now that he is in second and go all in on South Carolina early. "I'm boring old Jeb. I believe in God and hard work, and am disappointed to see that our party has been hijacked by people who campaign like those evil-doing democrats."

    just be thankful you don't live in SC. Bush has been papering the airwaves here for 2 1/2 months. Not seen any of his ground game here yet. Only doorknockers and the majority of the yard signs are Sanders. Bernie has a ground game and a half going here but then we have several major colleges in the area. I live in a Clinton Trump/Bush neighborhood and bernie volunteers have hit my door twice now. I would not be surprised to see bernie take a good portion of the lowcountry and midlands from hillary unless she gets Obama to stump for her down here and I would not give that a ice cubes chance in hell of happening. I am thinking of getting a Bernie sign to put in my yard just to watch the expressions on my neighbors faces

    Cruz screwed up now.....as Ben is going to unleash his fury upon him. [​IMG]

    “Dr. Carson feels absolutely robbed, violated," said Armstrong Williams, a Carson confidant, in a phone interview. "He realizes, the Democrats are not his enemies trying to malign him. It’s people who smile in his face, shake his hand, go out to dinner with him — and yet, they’re trying to destroy him behind his back.”

    Carson was fading before Iowa, and an exit from the race after Monday’s caucuses was not a farfetched scenario. On Wednesday, The Washington Post reported he’s cutting staff and salaries to rein in exorbitant campaign spending. But the Cruz episode has given Carson renewed purpose, and he now looks determined to spend whatever time he has left in the campaign making the Texan pay.

    Combined with Donald Trump’s loud and repeated claims that Cruz stole Iowa, Carson’s efforts could keep his flailing campaign relevant — if only by keeping the heat on Cruz.

    Though he'll arrive in New Hampshire Thursday night, his campaign lists no public events until Saturday morning, when he greets campaign volunteers ahead of that evening's debate.....snip~

    seen some pundits speculating that this incident might be be looked back upon as Cruz's Dean scream. He done pooped in his cheerios for a few delagates

    You should put a Bernie sign and a Trump sign with "For VP" sharpied in just to really confuse them. I feel you though. My city and my state were in play last election. I would be on the phone with one pollster and then have another coming in on call waiting. I turned off the landline, refused to go to the door, and didn't even get my mail out of the box for the last 10 days of the election.

    LOL maybe bernie sign on on eside and a Cruz or Bush sign in the other side with Wife's Choice added in magic marker. That would probably cause a car wreck

    So they didn't know about his clarification from 3 minutes earlier? Hardly damning evidence.
