Cruz did some hinky stuff. None of it IMO made Trump lose. But the shaming letters were really bad news and he did try to torpedo Ben Carson. None of it speaks well to character.
The point is it cheated Carson. Cheated. In my book, cheating should be a disqualification. None of us would accept this if a Democrat did it.

As a Cruz supporter I also believe the mailer was in poor taste. However I haven’t seen a single word from Trump that speaks well of his character.
The same flier was used during last republican primary election cycle. Nobody bitched then. If it did have any effect at all, it simply prompted people to go vote. Its not like Cruz was urging them not to vote. Trump should be thanking Cruz. Presumably at least some of those voters that received the mailers were Trump supporters. If it weren’t for Cruz’s mailer, Trump would have had zero GOTV ground game.
As far as Carson goes, poll better and a false rumor that you are dropping out won’t be so plausible.
If you guys think this stuff is hardball, you are in for a world of hurt in the general election. You’ll be wishing the Clinton campaign would stick to threatening mailers and silly rumors.
