This is just usual for Republican politics in South Carolina. They will savage Donald “the draft dodging coward” Trump especially.

He has made so many mistakes in his life (bankruptcy, numerous marriages and affairs, casinos, and supporting Democrats) that when presented to the ill educated masses of SC, he will look like Lenin.

If it’s evil, Ted Cruz did it. End of story.

Cruz is sleazy. He used dirty tactics in Iowa and never apologized. He is barely Christian.

It is that Super PAC run by David Barton, over which I have no legal control…

“That’s when he said, ‘Did you know that Marco Rubio and the Gang of Eight are for amnesty?’” Barrett told the Post. “And then the gentleman said he’s for letting 11 million illegal immigrants stay in the U.S. and that he was for letting Syrians cross the borders freely.”

Shit, I was never going to vote for Rubio, but now I might reconsider.

Par for the course in South Carolina. Remember 2000? “What would you say if you knew John McCain had an illegitimate black child.?”

True that. A GOP campaign in South Carolina without dirty tricks is like a BBQ without sauce. What would be the point??

Cruz has not yet been known to make a truthful statement; odds are that he’s still lying.

Of course it’s not the campaign. This is what you have PACs and “independent organizations” for.

South Carolina: Land of sleazy politics. Ted Cruz: King of sleaze.

A match made in Hell.

“I have no idea. We had nothing to do with them. I don’t know what they were. We had nothing to do with them. So I had read reports of what is being said but somebody else is doing them, not us,”

Translation: My campaign manager never told me what he was going to do so I have plausible deniability.

Except it isn’t plausible.

My advice - although why an accomplished liar like Senator Cruz should need advice I do not know - is deny the item only once.

None of this

I have no idea. We had nothing to do with them. I don’t know what they were. We had nothing to do with them. So I had read reports of what is being said but somebody else is doing them, not us.

Just a simple

We had nothing to do with them.

is quite enough.

“It just felt like Cruz, or whoever was behind it, was willing to lie to get the presidency,” Walukewicz said.

uhhh…Just Cruz? Not Rubio, Trump, Fiorina, Christie, Santorum, Huckabee, Kasich, Jindal, Walker, Perry and probably Jim Gilmore, too?

Maybe he should run a push-poll referring to “one of the other Republican contenders’ lesbian-porno-making wife”…that at least wouldn’t be a lie.

But hell, what are we even talking about? This is South Carolina, home of the “John McCain’s Black Baby” slur, remember?
