Cruz supporters can scream all they want that this is all a nothingburger issue, but it's not. This thing has traction with the voters and the press. It's not blowing away. More like blowing up, and Ted had better get a handle on it quick, before it does him real damage.
As it stands now, it's widely perceived that Cruz and his campaign operatives cheated Ben Carson, and to some degree, Trump and Rubio, too.
What they did, looks underhanded and dirty, to a lot of people.
The issue of playing the religion card as Cruz resorted to 3rd rate political gutter ethics while folks are in the process of actually voting, won’t be going away for Mr. Cruz.
