Maybe he would have disciplined them if they had not taken advantage of this opportunity. I am really sad to see you that Ted is such a sleazoid, he was always my second choice but now I don’t even have a second choice. I will take Trumpertantrums over sleaze any day.
My gut tells me the same thing, given how that all went down.
I mean, Team Cruz went into action with lightning speed and got the word out to all 1,500 of their Iowa precinct captains, who then spread the rumor to the Carson supporters DURING the caucus.
If this was just an unintentional slip-up, there would have been some chitter chatter about the rumor on back channels, and a few scattered precinct captains might have run with it, to sway some Carson supporters. But no. This was executed like a battlefield kill strategy.
There's no way every precinct captain ran with such a shady rumor unless they it was communicated to them with authority and command presence. By whom, I'm not sure.
