Everyone is piling on Ted Cruz for running a dirty campaign.  It turns out that the Rubio campaign was doing the exact same thing.  Jeb Bush and the other guys pulling about 2% would have definitely done the same thing, if they had figured it out in time.  At least Cruz had the decency to own up to it and apologize.  We can’t even imagine Donald Trump doing that.  If Trump and Rubio and the irrelevants  try to dump on Cruz about this during the debate Saturday night it could backfire big time.  Cruz is extremely good at handing this kind of thing, especially when he knows it is coming.

Ben Carson is the one who created the rumor by his own comments.  That is why the rumor started.  Carson was sounding like someone ready to call it a day.  The press picked up on it.  Who can blame them when Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum all folded their tents.  I think it is entirely possible that Ben Carson was seriously considering ending his campaign, until he learned that he did better than expected in Iowa.

Perhaps Rush Limbaugh said it best.  When asked why the Cruz campaign is being attacked from all sides on this while Rubio is ignored:

“Cruz is the frontrunner!”  “They don’t think they can go after him on issues.”

Forget the media spin.  People are attacking Cruz because Cruz is winning.  There are worst things than a candidate dedicated to doing whatever it takes to win an election.  Actually, it is about time we picked someone readying, willing and able to take on a fight.   The most unethical thing a Republican candidate can do is lose to someone like Hillary Clinton of Bernie Sanders.  Nice guys don’t finish last, they just finish second and inflect the country with President Barack Obama.  John McCain and Mitt Romney rain nice pleasant campaigns.  The results were catastrophic.

Why would we count on the main stream media to tell us which candidate is most electable.  Haven’t we made that mistake too many times before.  Perhaps the most electable candidate is not the guy who flashes the most charm.  It is the guy ready, willing and able to throw a few elbows.
