The primaries are the scrimmage. The national election is THE GAME! Think about THE GAME! THE GAME! THE GAME!

Trump is referring to the Cruz campaign falsely claiming that Ben Carson was dropping and that his supporters should switch to Cruz. Parker reported that on his blog.

Trump is also pointing at a Cruz flyer that was threatening and dishonest.

The Cruz campaign sent a flyer out to Iowa voters, that resembled a government document, which read “VOTING VIOLATION.” The flier included names, grades, and percentage scores for each voter.

“Your individual voting history as well as your neighbors’ are public record,” reads the flier sent to voters. “Their scores are published below, and many of them will see your score as well. CAUCUS ON MONDAY TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE and please encourage your neighbors to caucus as well. A follow-up notice may be issued following Monday’s caucuses.”

Trump: (on twitter): Based on the fraud committed by Senator Ted Cruz during the Iowa Caucus, either a new election should take place or Cruz results nullified.

There’s a great deal more of that. Whooof.

Trump: Ted Cruz didn’t win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!

And if you believe Cruz’s own assessment of the situation, it is not him they fear but you and the millions of us little people who demand to take our sovereignty back. Now of course it is possible that Cruz lies to us, that he does not represent our interests as he goes about his political business. However, we can see what distinguishes his speech and actions from the speech and actions of his fellow competitors for the office. Cruz is remarkably consistent in word and deed, consonant with the Constitution; his speech and actions are remarkably coherent, consonant with the Constitution; whereas his fellow competitors are not so very consistent or coherent, save for one or two who have not quite as much political experience or at the moment, electoral weight, like the good Doctor. But by golly, it’s almost as though Cruz, in political matters, views himself as ruled by the Constitution, rather than overruling it at every hand.

It isn’t difficult to see why the ruling class fears the country class, is it?

Times are different now, and the young folks don’t like Hillary because they sense the hypocrisy and they aren’t for Trump for the same reasons. As for Cruz, don’t sell the man short, he has a different charisma and they will respond to that, because Cruz will reach out to them. Rubio has more of the charm, but I don’t trust him when it comes to immigration because he still listens to the Schumers and McCains.

Ask yourself this, If Cruz is so unlikable why is he still winning? Every endorsement has gone against him but he still won! That means he is reaching the people himself. Watch his interactions with the other side on global warming, on NASA’s job etc.

As Instapundit says they loathe Trump, but they fear Cruz.
