This is SO disappointing. I hope I get a chance to ask Sen. Cruz about this when I attend his rally today. (I don't expect he'll mention it himself.)

Knowing as I do the Iowa Secy. of State and former Cedar Rapids mayor Paul Pate, I'm confident he WELCOMED the opportunity to "rip Cruz." He has always struck me as the personification of the term "Republican establishment."

“I’m confident he WELCOMED the opportunity to “rip Cruz.” He has always struck me as the personification of the term “Republican establishment.” “

sounds about right, but doesn’t detract from the reprehensible of the mailer, AND I believe ANY SecState would have had to make some kind of announcement refuting the untruthful insinuations relative to the function of SecState’s office.
