Back in the day when I worked on campaigns a few times, sometimes what happens is some directive or event occurs and staff gets over-zealous. That's why Cruz's campaign taking Carson votes wasn't an issue until it came out that the rumor was spread and embellished by campaign headquarters.
Cruz's campaign has gotten snarky and lawyerly. They seem to bring things right to the legal edge, and figure they're in the clear or can talk their way around things. What they didn't factor in is that after the primary runoff was stolen for Cochran, people want decent campaigns.
JMHO, but it's another case of Cruz being so smart that he outsmarts himself.

Like in Iowa?
Everyone here knows there was no lies or deceit in repeating the message originating from Ben’s dumbass Armstrong Williams. Had Cruz’s team pretended their message regarding Carson, asking his voters to instead vote for Cruz, was issued by Carson, that would have been deceitful or a lie.
Now the real deceit and lie is by DONEald and his swarm of lemmings trying to use a nothing to gen up something.
You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
