The incident is regrettable, but I don’t think it made a big difference in Cruz’ showing.The surprise was Rubio, whether he was a Carson voter second choice or something else was at play, I don’t know.
I hope it does make a big difference...in terms of the way Cruz and his campaign handle things going forward. Seems things not being a big deal can sure get fanned into the kind of flame that dominates news cycles taking valuable time away from efforts to get people to hear what you have to say. The media knows this, lives for this (so they can become the story).
You’ve got to stay above the fray.
