If voters believed Carson was out...they could have voted for Trump instead. They choose Cruz or Rubio.

Trump so pathetic!

He reminds me of Nixon! I just got that!

Nixon was more shifty, with those beady little eyes. Cruz is a better liar, too.

12. On that note, I am reading a new book on Nixon. Cannot put it down.

Book is by Tim Weiner, author of four books and co-author of a fifth, and winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award.
Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA.
Enemies: A History of the FBI

His newest book is "One Man Against The World: The Tragedy of Richard Nixon."

Weiner had access to newly declassified records, diaries, papers of people in the Nixon WH.

for us Boomers, the book tells the back story of the events s we knew some things about during Nixon's reign of terror.
For instance, how Nixon kept it secret that he was extending the war to all of SE Aisia..Laos, Thailand, etc.

for those too young to know back then,it is great very readable history of how the White House can be so subverted by a very dangerous man,
one more dangerous that even we knew at the time.

Then he did not see his shadow so back to hibernation.

explains why he could not keep his eyes open all winter, doesn't it?

this is Republican Ratfucking 095--this doesnt even register as a 100-level course.
If Teh Donald thought he was going to get this nomination clean, he knows neither history nor GOP politics. THIS is where Trump gets to show us all that he can handle Major League hitters. My bet (and apperently, Cruz's as well) is that he cant.
