Whom benefited? If a PAC doesn't accurately represent Cruz to the people, why would he ever allow such political messaging to go unchallenged, unless he were in silent agreement? If you allow someone to speak for you, and they misspeak unchallenged, then you may as well own the words as if they came from your own lips.

Anyone could now form a political organization tacitly in support of Ted Cruz, put out any extreme message---assertions consequently damaging to his campaign, yet people would accept this as being political speech concocted to allow plausible deniability for Cruz.

The precedent has now been set that other voices may speak for Cruz's benefit; yet, he will disavow, wink wink, any connection to his campaign. If a message appeared, seemingly supportive of the campaign; yet, so vitriolic and over the line as to drive away supporters, how would he recover the initiative? Who would now accept his dissent without thinking, wink wink.

You need to educate yourself....PACs by law cannot coordinate with candidates.....this particular pact is not even a Cruz Pac....it’s a stop Trump Pac!!!
