I’m not going to nuance why it happened or their explanation, it happened, so they are going to have to live with it.

I don’t trust the whole GOP establishment in that whole process to begin with so it resonates very badly with me.

It happened, but there is a huge difference between it representing one person at the Colorado headquarters, the entire Colorado GOP staff, the entire national GOP establishment, or everyone who has ever voted republican or talked with a republican in our country's history. Besides not allowing that Tweet to taint President Lincoln's legacy, I don't think it should even taint the entire Colorado office. People do dumb things, and that is the entire explanation - one person did a dumb thing.

There are real problems with the GOP establishment, but this Tweet is not indicative of those problems.

By the way, I don't trust the GOP establishment either. I think they are trying to make Cruz their stooge to knock Trump out, and then replace Cruz with Kasich or some other pro-Amnesty big government liberal at the convention. I don't think Cruz is either complicit in that plan or too stupid to recognize it. I think Cruz knows that is their plan and thinks he can beat them. However, this Tweet is far more likely to reflect one person behaving stupidly than it is to shine a light on the real problems.
