>> Man, this was a really confusing article, apparently.
Or an unnecessarily brief excerpt.
I’m not sure how the problem is that it’s an unnecessarily brief excerpt; the first part of the first sentence says that King is supporting Cruz. It doesn’t get much more obvious than that, especially after the headline already showed King as putting Cruz and Trump in the same boat.
I think tensions are just high and people are passionate; they are maybe just misreading and posting, and then other people are reacting to their posts, rather than reading the articles themselves. It’s no big deal, but it sure made for an unexpectedly crazy thread.
