I’m a huge Cruz supporter, but this was just plain stupid. It worked for the Democrats, because in all-minority neighborhoods, everyone can safely presume that their neighbors would all vote the same way. What was the idea here? Trying to get people to vote for other candidates?

At least he owned up to it, but it was just incredibly stupid.

I initially liked Cruz and voted for him in Senate, but I cannot stand being talked down to and Cruz comes off this way in his debate responses. The mailer here just fits that same model of degrading, looking down his nose, and shaming folks.

Many conservatives are independent thinkers and headstrong by nature. I believe a good portion of the recipients of this letter will vote against him just to spite. I would! No way some guy I never met is going to give me a failing mark out of the blue.

I would argue that stupid is the wrong word to use. I would argue that its just morally wrong. I would further argue that the reason not one of the other 14 or so GOP candidates indulged in shaming letters is because its just wrong.

I was really surprised when I found out. If Trump who is my first choice did it I would no longer support him. I can no longer support Ted Cruz. It goes to character sadly.
