I called the Oklahoma Attorney General over a similar tactic, that was misleading.
This stuff needs to be reported.
However, the Brilliant One has more lawyers hanging around than staffers, so the words are legal yes, but the tactic was meant to take advantage of the ignorant, who took it at face value and may have felt shamed, it is a classless, desperate thing to do.
Iowa may take a fork to the ballet box for the Cruz campaign.
It may be legal but it is politically stupid. I can’t imagine anyone thinking this was a good idea.
