When a campaign runs into trouble, as Ted Cruzâs seems to have, one of the ways to staunch the bleeding is to toss someone overboard in hopes that the circling sharks (i.e. the media and opposing campaigns) will be sated. The Cruz for President Campaign has committed a number of slip ups that has allowed rival campaigns and some in the media to paint it as being dirty and underhanded. These mistakes began with suggesting that Ben Carson was quitting the race when he was not and ended with the accusation that Marco Rubio denigrated the Bible when he had not. Some have suggested that Cruz is under performing among evangelicals who tend to value personal integrity as much as they do stands on social issues.

Again after the Primary is Over.
As a Trump Supporter the worst time for Cruz
Those were not “mistakes.” And I doubt whether this was, either. Firing this guy is just the time-honored practice of throwing someone off the back of the sleigh when the wolves start getting too close.
Rs need to screen these asswipes

Breaking News: Cruz asks for national spokesman Rick Tyler’s resignation
Different source.
Too little, too late.
If you plan to hang around for any length of time, you’ll need to spend some time learning the rules around here.
FNC’s “The Five” bashed Trump, pimped Rubio, then absolutely savaged Cruz.
FNC went from “The Jeb News Channel” to “The Rubio News Channel.” The “RNC” don’t you know.
And they suck even harder.
Many smart Freepers dumped FoxNews some time ago.
It's all Rubio, all the time, over there.
Fair and balanced, my ass.
FNC went from The Jeb News Channel to The Rubio News Channel. The RNC you now know.
And they suck even harder.
Fox losers announcing Trump wins SC!
Boycott Fox, send Murdoch packing back to Oz, where he came from! Murdoch take MGYN with you to Oz.
I called it! I just knew the creep would take action but not until after it couldn’t hurt him in “must-win SC”.

I was shocked to see Cruz announce that while firing the guy because of the ad, he twice said that “even if it was true.” Did anyone catch that?
I started as a Cruz supporter, switched to Trump and now am totally disgusted with Cruz.
That picture of 4 talking heads at Fox with grim faces tells all. No need for words!
Yeah, I noticed that too. Thought that was a very scummy way for him to put it.
