‘Devil’s advocate here, one reason for not answering is it would give the media a soundbite of him discussing himself. Instead, he gave them soundbites attacking Trump and the reporter.’
This is why, for so many years—i.e.: decades—conservatives have grown steadily more distrustful and disdainful of career politicians/the Permanent Political Class/the DC Cartel. Namely, because they cannot or will not give a simple, straightforward and HONEST answer to even the most basic question.
To anyone saying it doesn’t matter: you are too clueless even to merit a reply. Oh, and I’m sure that, were Cruz the nominee, the Dems would agree that his integrity, or lack thereof, is none of their business.
HA!
He is a lawyer! He won’t say anything that might trip him up in court at some later date.
Cruz is toast.
ALL.HE.HAD.TO.DO.WAS.CONFIRM.HE.HAS.BEEN.FAITHFUL.
PERIOD.
END OF STORY.
It sure as hell is when it involves someone who might be POTUS.
But still ... Why not just lie? Tell them, "I never cheated on my wife?". If this Amanda is so goofy that the cops wanted her in a mental institution, who's going to believe any more than they already do?
Cruz might be an adulterer, so vote for Trump. Makes sense.
==
Trump has received 3 times more votes from the base than Cruz, so vote for Trump, makes sense.
Didn’t Trump also say he doesn’t feel like he has anything to ask God for forgiveness about?
Actually Ted is a fraud. He pretends he is a Saint. Trump flat out states the opposite regarding himself. Pious Ted likely believes he is the fulfillment of a mormon prophecy, anointed by Beck. SLICK TEDDY is just another typical, hypocritical, lying, cowardly, creepy politician. But, it’s nice things are so simple for you.
‘So, why not just answer the question? If he’s a lying, filthy adulterer, why wouldn’t he just lie here? Why not just say, “I have always been faithful to my wife.” It would be consistent with his character as you portray it.’
See the excellent analysis in post 23. Cruz has to worry about how every word he says impacts Heidi. Yesterday we were told that she cancelled two days’ worth of appearances/fundraisers, etc., so she could rush to Ted’s side.
Except that she hasn’t been seen anywhere near Ted’s side.
Cruz is juggling live hand grenades, and hoping one doesn’t go off.
Court? How does this accusation of infidelity end up in a court? Who is suing whom for what?
Slander? Good luck with that.
Divorce? His wife makes more at GS that Cruz does.
What?
It’s amazing to watch the capitulation of the Cruz supporter. From God’s anointed one to “at least he has hasn’t had as many affairs as Donald” or something like that....
Carly got $500,000 from Cruz. She’s got to earn it.
“there anyone left who does not believe that Ted is not a lying hypocrite and false prophet who has had multiple affairs? “
They did the same thing to Hermann Cain in 2012. Get rid of the Conservative and run against the candidate you can beat. They will take the nomination away from Trump. But they cannot do that until they get rid of Cruz first.
People who will vote for Trump will vote for Cruz. People who will vote for Cruz will vote for Trump. People who don’t see either on the ballot will stay home. And who would want that to happen?
This is Goebbles at his best. Keep saying the lie and people will eventually believe it.
My response to #23 is in #45.
“and who are you going to have any trust in to tell you the truth, the guy who has or the guy who relies on Carly to answer for him? Cruz was spoon fed the answer and he could not even do that.”
Here is why you don’t answer the question. “Did you cheat on your wife with Amanda Carpenter?” “No!” “ So who did you cheat on your wife with?”
It’s a gotcha question. Politics 101
Is there anyone left who does not believe that TRUMP is not a lying hypocrite and false prophet who has had multiple affairs?
Why should I believe he is? Why should he answer the question coming from a news nitwit whether he is faithful to his wife? He is too smart for that. I am sure he is weighing whether to file a suit against those accusations and the less he says the better. Now to really be fair all candidates should be subjected to the same question. Donald were you faithful to all your wives when you were married to them and were you faithful to all your company during the time of the company relationship presuming you had other company even in youth? Now that’s fair!
“He tries to profit politically from.....”
Which is where I see Ted’s whole house off cards tumbling down.
It appears that for political gain, Mr Cruz did take the name of the Lord in vain. To serve his own purpose.
It now seems that maybe the rightful owner of that name may be attempting to show Mr Cruz just WHO the name above all names actually is.
Cruz is the “religious” version of Bill Clinton—”I did not have sex with that woman Monica Lewinsky”. Both Cruz and Clinton have that creepy ability to look you right in the eye and lie. Cruz and Clinton are both very sincere liars. But Cruz sure knows his Bible and that is even worse because he makes a mockery of it.
Your post 45 does not touch on the fact that Heidi has already had one very public meltdown. If Cruz handles this the wrong way, there’s no telling how Heidi may react.
