Cruz is not stupid. Has he answered this charge? I keep thinking this is a dirty trick by Rubio or Right to Rise. Cruz couldn’t possibly be this stupid. Could he?
Does the general voting public get to vote in a caucus or is it just for people active in the party?
I’m suspicious of just about anything of this nature which happens in the days immediately preceding a vote. It takes time for it to be noticed and responded to if it was a dirty trick by other candidates.
It was a questionable call to purchase this political direct mailing by the Cruz campaign, conservatives in general react poorly to such things. So, there’s that. There’s another campaign going on to gain political advantage by fanning the flames of controversy, though. I’d say it’s Rubio.
I don’t know if Cruz put it out or not. If it proves to be a dirty trick, my money would be on Haley Barbour.
His campaign has admitted it and they will not apologize.
So yeah. He’s that stupid.
“Cruz couldn’t possibly be this stupid. Could he?”
Apparently. His campaign manager acknowledged he sent out he flyer:
there’s an FR post with over a 1000 comments discussing this:

‘I keep thinking this is a dirty trick by Rubio or Right to Rise. ‘
The return address on the envelopes was the official Cruz campaign headquarters. Rubio or R to R would be committing serious mail fraud if they did that!
You can see the flyer and envelope here;

The emails I get daily from his camp are almost as bad so yes, I guess he could be that stupid. The emails asking for $ have turned me off him...Big Time
The Cruz campaign confirmed this mailer.
“Cruz’s campaign quickly confirmed the origins of the mailer,”
