So what.

I have seen this happen thousands of times by thousands of campaigns, and every time some one cries foul, and that it will back fire. It works every time.

This could be what gives Cruz the huge victory everyone is already expecting.

Will it hurt Cruz. Nope, because last minute mailers never hurt the one doing them.

The reason? Because being dropped on Friday, there is no time to respond. And nothing works so good as mailers do.

I see this as a brilliant move. Let’s hope he does something similar in November against the Democrat opponent.

See, this is usually what we bitch about when our candidate gets hit by the other guys from the establishment. Cruz’z people are brilliant.

This is not a little thing...it is just the type of thing the media likes to latch onto to bring down a candidate. The Cruz Campaign took a decent idea and botched it...badly according to one of the originators of the concept.

This is not brilliant. This is not the thing that gives Cruz eight points to surpass Trump. You are living in a different reality. Why don’t you just take some time to feed the cats and leave the pontificating to professionals.

Brilliant? Only if you think it's smart campaigning to insult, intimidate, shame, and humiliate your potential supporters into coming out to vote for you.

Yes, Another brilliant tactic by the smartest man ever. I put this right up there with insulting everyone in and from the state of New York. Way to go Cruz! The Democrats are shaking in their boots at the thought of facing Ted, eh. Ted Cruz plays 3d chess while we mere mortals can barely play checkers.

That was before the explosion of social media...In case you didn't notice, the response time is now instantaneous all over the world. You have to be brain dead to not know that.

ignorance is bliss.

Uh...maybe. But they definitely make amateur mistakes.

Quick, what's Ted's slogan? Yeah, I don't know either. What's Trumps? Yeah, we all know it. Now look at my name here. That's the slogan he should have used--no brainer.

Also, what's Ted's symbol? Wtf is that silly flame thing? Anyone else happen to notice how it resembles a certain Islamic group's symbol? Am posting from a phone or would post them both side by side.

Amateurs. It will cost him the nomination.

Except Cruz is running as the better-than-anyone else candidate, more conservative, more honest, more trustworthy, more evangelical.

This won’t play well with those wanting those qualities.
