Fact is if Obama had his votes stolen it would be front page news for weeks. It would have been talked about for years and decades.

Well, it was not a racial issue, was it? So the NAACP should not be involved.

Many of these white voters, it is safe to say, vote Republican because of years of divisive rhetoric from Republicans that has encouraged them to see their declining status as a racial and ethnic issue rather than one of economic oppression by the rich. So who are the dumb ones being lead by charlatans?

Really, because the top 5 candidates in the Iowa GOP caucus included 2 Hispanics and 1 black man.

Conversely, in the Democrat caucus, the two top vote getters were both white people either in their late 60's, early 70's.

This "diversity meme" by the democrats is NOT reflected in the party elite. Maybe that should tell you something.

Probably. But there is nothing remotely factual in your claim that "votes were stolen" by candidate in the Iowa GOP caucus. All you have to do is go online to the Des Moines Register and read the comments section to see that there has not been a single claim by caucus goers that anything nefarious took place. The only comments I have seen or heard from actual caucus goers is that they never saw anything about Carson not campaigning during the caucus and some only learned of it from reading their Facebook page a day after the caucus took place.

Time to say so long to this Trump tactic. It didn't stick. Just like his "birther" shtick didn't stick. Just like his lie about the "Goldman Sachs hidden loans" didn't stick.

Trump is drumming up all this false accusations against Cruz, so no one will investigate his involvement with Karl Rove and Mitch McConnell, or his relationships with all the Democrat party elites. He has yet to be confronted about his long string of failed businesses and failed marriages. Maybe the media should focus on THOSE issues for awhile.

Are you kidding... the left is always calling racism.. on the illegals, on the muslims,, on the punks who steal , for opposing Obama's rotten policies..

The NAACP calls racism on it all.. and Al Sharpton gets his power keeping racism alive.

What women and senior citizens aren't diverse? But even more to the point, candidates doesn't not a characterization of the Democratic Party "elite" make.

I'll see your two hispanic and one African American candidates and raise you one African American president, an African American woman Attorney General, a woman House Minority Leader, and a woman head of the DNC.
