It is disgusting because IIRC, the #NeverTrump movement was started by uber establishment RINO, Bill Krystol.

That symbol represents the corrupt establishment, through and through and for it to be up there from the head of the Colorado GOP only shows the corrupt GOP establishment’s involvement in that mess.

I disagree. It shows that somewhere in Colorado GOP headquarters there is an anti-Trump staffer. I'm going to go out on a limb, but not by much at all, and say that somewhere in Colorado GOP headquarters there is an anti-Cruz staffer. Both are so obviously true, with or without one tweet, that it's not worth any reaction. I'll be voting for Trump, but my response to #NeverCruz from the same Twitter account would be exactly the same.

The fact that the stupid message was deleted after three minutes proves that (1) the Tweet wasn't a real (outside) hack in the classical sense, and (2) the Tweet was not the actual position of the Colorado GOP. The way I read it, they called it a "hack" because it was an unauthorized use of their Twitter, even though it was an insider (either using an open computer or an account on which he was supposed to send only approved messages), so the effect was the same as in an outside hack. This is politics, and they probably see the lie as spin - something morally equivalent to the truth so not as bad as a real lie.
