After His Cruz LIE Was Exposed, Debunked, And Condemned By Coburn, Trump REPEATED It On Stage

It seems the insanity of this election is taking its toll. And I’m scared. These super pacs are out of control pic.twitter.com/mvoVkpevyE — Dorsey Shaw (@dorseyshaw) February 16, 2016 Very scared. Follow @BenHowe

Not to be outdone by the facts, this afternoon President Obama once again asserted the false narrative that Justice Anthony Kennedy was confirmed in the last year of President Reagan’s term in office as proof-positive that his own eventual nominee to the Supreme Court should be forced to a vote in the Senate this year.

This narrative is demonstrably false and misleading to the American people.

Is she doing bad southern? Or is she being racist? You decide: Will Sharpton endorse Clinton? Her response. pic.twitter.com/mNKHkOAgf9 — Annie Karni (@anniekarni) February 16, 2016 “Oh, stewardess! I speak jive.” Really, Hillary? I mean seriously? Again? But then again … They just really can’t help themselves, can they? I mean, it’s not like the media will ever call them on it.

It appears poor Hillary Clinton’s body is having a hard time keeping up with the grueling election season schedule. Back in October, she started coughing in the middle of a Benghazi hearing, and was asked if she needed to take a recess.  Just last month, Clinton had a coughing fit in the middle of a speech in Iowa, which lasted a full minute.

Donald Trump’s “I’ll run as a third party” schtick is getting old. His latest reason, concerning the audience at the SC GOP debate, is simply a lie.

Earlier today, I criticized Rubio for not going after Donald Trump with the same gusto as Ted Cruz. I am glad to note that, per multiple sources Rubio started today striking a much more strident tone against Trump on the campaign trail. As reported by MSNBC, Rubio said of Trump today that “building a casino does not count as foreign policy experience” and that unlike | Read More »

Keep the Promise 1 has 13 paid staff members and about 75 canvassers in the state and has hired Nathan Emens, a local operative, to oversee its Nevada ground game. Team Cruz is obviously hoping to duplicate its ground game-led come from behind Iowa victory and is using its network of Super PACs to do more than advertise.

CNN/ORC has the latest South Carolina poll out. It’s good news for Donald Trump and (relatively) bad news for Marco Rubio. On the Democratic side, the poll shows slight tightening but Hillary Clinton still with a commanding lead over Bernie Sanders due entirely to her wide advantage with from black voters. Republicans: Trump 38, Cruz 22, Rubio 14, Jeb 10, Carson 6, Kasich 4 404 | Read More »

The battle heats up in South Carolina with James Dobson making robo-calls on behalf of Ted Cruz.

This tweet probably alarmed a lot of people. Dan Scavino, of the Trump campaign, claimed that Tom Coburn trashed Ted Cruz as “without a doubt, one of the most dishonest people in DC.” That would indeed be a scandalous and damaging thing if it had happened. But it didn’t happen. It’s a lie. First, take a look the firestorm: Unreal! Highly respected Senator Tom Coburn- | Read More »

Yesterday we reported on a dust-up between the Cruz and Rubio camps about Cruz’s remarks concerning the National Organization for Marriage. The relevant clip can be seen here: Cruz: I will continue pointing out the truth about records. And so when you look at the words that came out of their mouth, there is a reason that the National Organization of Marriage has endorsed me in | Read More »

Welcome back to the Watercooler. Luckily we’re just four days away from getting some more clarity in the GOP nomination race, or so we can hope. Town Hall Wars CNN announced late last week that it would be holding two GOP town halls this week, although there were planned for quite some time. One on Wed. night with Cruz and Rubio and one Thu. night with Trump, | Read More »

Politico is reporting that the Ted Cruz campaign has sent a letter, through its counsel, to South Carolina television stations that are running attack ads funded by an anti-Cruz Super PAC. The basic gist of the Cruz campaign’s letter is that the ads are false, and that the stations face potential legal liability for running them: “The ad falsely claims ‘Cruz proposed mass legalization of | Read More »

Barack Obama’s nominee to replace Justice Scalia on the Supreme Court cannot be confirmed by the U.S. Senate without the co-operation of Republicans, because there are 54 Republicans in the Senate. That’s enough to block Democrats from getting (1) the 50 votes needed to confirm (the tiebreaking 51st would be Vice President Biden), (2) the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster, or (3) the | Read More »

Thomas Sowell, economist, social theorist, political philosopher, author and Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, endorses Sen. Ted Cruz. Sowell’s main, and perhaps sole, reason for backing Cruz is the Supreme Court vacancy resulting from the unexpected death of Justice Scalia and the advanced ages of other justices:
