Dear Mr Pate: shut up and count the votes.
Your ‘outrage’ is little more than coattail-riding with a view to higher office for yourself.
The “outrage” of the Iowa government official could be the prelude to possible criminal action, or a warning that civil court action could be possible by other candidates or the recipients of these threatening messages. Wouldn’t that be “helpful” to the Cruz campaign?
Yea, remember when Pate hosted a Trump meet and greet? Yep. He did.
