Cruz is gonna go down over this. He’s a friggin liar.
He has hired a team of advisers who are experts at manipulating the media and social media. They are the ones that came up with the “shaming mailer” and the intentional misinformation about Carson and rump at the Iowa caucus. These guys are seasoned pros and know how far they can stretch the truth and still get away with it.
I doubt whether the latest misdeeds will sink the Cruz candidacy but they are adding to the perception that he will do anything to win and also that he is a nasty guy. Of course this is what was being said about him even before he started his presidential campaign from just about everyone who has ever known him personally. I don’t know much about how he was raised but he seems like someone who didn’t get typical socialization with other children.
It might just be that he was smarter than many of the children around him and didn’t get along well with them because of that. I have a niece like that. She has a very high IQ and graduated several years early, but socially she is very inept. She is a sweetheart in most ways, but can be quite nasty at times.
Like Obama, I have the feeling that his mother kept telling him that he was "brilliant" and "special", but never really corrected him/taught him how to behave.
Whose payroll are you on fireman15?
