So if I tell you your guy is going home, vote for my guy, you do it? Come on.
If you don’t want the candidate you hate to win,,sure. Why else would the Cruz team even try to persuade Carson voters to join them by using this ruse?
Americans are very trusting people, which is good and bad and unfortunately there are those who would exploit that. So yes, some would do it. In the hubbub, not everyone thinks rationally until after the fact. Sad, but true.
And unfortunately, whether there were nefarious intentions or not, this looks really bad and combined with other unfortunate situations, I don’t see how Ted’s image of trustworthiness is not damaged, and possibly irreparably damaged.
