Sam Seder: Did Ted Cruz Sabotage Ben Carson?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Carson claimed today that Cruz's campaign told voters in Iowa that Ben Carson had dropped out of the running.

This clip from the Majority Report, live M-F at 12 noon EST and via daily podcast at http://Majority.FM

#0 sez: "So Benno had to fly to FLORIDA for a change of clothes? Are the Walmarts not open 24 hours on the planet he's from?"

1. Who cares? And why should we? Let them eat their own. nt

2. I guess Carson has never heard of a hotel concierge

If he hadn't been staying at a No Tell Motel, he could have called the main desk and had his clothes picked up, cleaned and pressed, and delivered back to him in an hour while he watched trash TV in the hotel bathrobe.

Or he could have fished something else out of his suitcase like a normal person.

5. "Had to go home to get clothes" is kinda like "wants to spend more time with family" . . .

when someone is forced out of a job.

I don't expect Carson back on the campaign trail.

He got swiftboated back when all the damaging excerpts from his 1997 book where exposed to the press. And of course his own stupid statements did help.

His campaign has gone down hill ever since and the Iowa results reflect that.

Stick a fork in him, he's done.

3. Maybe he doesn't have the money to do that

Maybe he wanted to see his wife, dog, cat...whatever. Cruz sucks!

think you've met your quota on postings in this forum? Please give someone else a chance to post
and restrain yourself. It also causes the posts to move too fast down the page.

6. Uh-oh, the posting police have arrived.

7. You know, several moths back someone else was giving me shit about posting too much

They were even sending me PMs scolding me, so I quit posting altogether for a few weeks. The forum was never so dull. The same shit was on the front page for a week at a time because NOBODY ELSE POSTS! If you think I'm taking up too much of the forum, you are cordially invited to pick up some of the slack yourself.

8. I'm not 'scolding', nor am I your enemy - I'm a fellow poster in this forum

I'm asking that you be considerate of other posters. If you overwhelm
the forum with so many posts (20+ in 24hours and mostly from the same few sources) I think it might actually discourage rather than encourage participation by others because their posts won't get any read/viewing time.
Also the concentration on a few sources reduces the sense of variety and
diversity within the forum.
Can you understand that? The fact that someone else has already mentioned it to you seems to suggest that maybe there is a problem and room for adjustment. It's not an all or nothing request, just a need for a better balance.
While I've enjoyed many of your posts it's gotten excessive and perhaps obsessive and I'm simply asking that you back off a bit, not quit posting.

9. Looks like Carson has already discovered Cruz is a Liar and Cheater of the first order. Pass it on
