A staffer who was watching CNN copied what they saw and sent a tweet. We don’t even know who read the tweet, let alone if anyone acted on it.
And if they did, all they would have done is repeat what CNN said. This is exactly the same as if an individual voter had themselves watched CNN.
It isn’t going to hurt anyone but Emperor Augustus Trump, since this makes him look like a sore loser. Carson, for his part, already released a letter pointing the blame at CNN, not Cruz.
Maybe it won’t hurt, Cruz.
I can tell you that it makes me think quite a bit less of Cruz.
And, yes, as far a Trump goes, he is making himself look like a heel in this, and that was his choice, and it’s probably going to hurt him.
Too bad.
