Unreal. What is the Cruz team thinking? It’s Easter Week!

Given the tempo Trump has been doing for months, and this is the best they can come up with for an attack?

Very sad.

Cruz has a much bigger issue to deal with right now other than Trump’s campaign schedule, imo.

[Defiant]

Too bad there’s not a debate tonight. That would be a lot of fun.

BLESSED GOOD FRIDAY & HAPPY EASTER!

[mouse1]

Trump was in Wisconsin. Also Easter Weekend. What a jerk this guy is.

[winoneforthegipper]

Indeed it is....Happy Easter, Onyx.

[VanDeKoik]

That was a weak attempt on his part.

Makes them look desperate.

[marstegreg]

his daughter is about to give birth. I would imagine that is the reason.

[dps.inspect]

Last few times I heard him speak, sounded like he was getting a little hoarse... probably in the Bahamas getting a real sun tan with his lovely wife, and getting rested up.

[corbe]

I’d bet he’s getting a larger hands transplant. That bothers him.

There’s no doubt Jeff is well versed in gutter politics.

“It was Mr. Roe who hired Mr. Tyler to be the Cruz campaign’s spokesman. (In an interview this month, Mr. Tyler said he had “learned a lot” from Mr. Roe. “Jeff wins,” Mr. Tyler said, adding, “I don’t think anything we’ve done is underhanded or deceptive or anything like that.”)

But back home, Mr. Roe’s allies and opponents alike have seen a familiar imprint in the Cruz campaign’s recent exploits, which have included a Photoshopped image of Mr. Rubio and the misleading suggestion, on the night of the Iowa caucuses, that Ben Carson was leaving the race.”

All been done before by Jeff Roe. Then there is this;

---

"Political consultant Jeff Roe, who is based in Kansas City, is Ted Cruz's campaign manager — and the architect of the Texas senator's surprising first-place finish.

Roe is hardly a household name even amongst the political chattering class. (He has less than 6,000 Twitter followers.) Locally, he's most famous for commissioning the mean-spirited ad that upset State Auditor Tom Schweich and may have factored into his suicide, at least according to former U.S. Senator John Danforth, who blasted "politics that has gone so hideously wrong" in his funeral oration. Roe has been labeled "the Karl Rove of Missouri" — and the people calling him that don't consider it a compliment.

But as last night's results proved, he knows what he's doing. Cruz didn't just hold off all the other candidates vying for Iowa's large block of conservative voters. He did it even while beating Donald Trump. It was a wild, complicated race, and you have to respect the guy who figured out how to propel any candidate, much less one who's thoroughly loathed by everyone he meets, to victory.

In an interview with Chris Wallace a few weeks ago, Roe discussed a few secrets to his success — namely, a simple message and strong branding. Roe comes across as intensely analytical. He doesn't just know how long the average voter looks at a mailer (17 seconds); he knows how long he wants you to look at one touting Cruz (45 seconds). "When we communicate with the voter, we want it to be simple, clear and reinforce our candidate's brand," he says. For Cruz, that was "strong Christian conservative leader."

A recent New York Times Magazine piece delved more deeply into how Roe & Co. made those words resonate for Cruz, who'd hitherto been identified mostly as a conservative, not necessarily a Christian. Writes Robert Draper,

"One morning early in January, in the lobby of a public library in Onawa, Iowa, I listened to Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe, as he explained a central challenge of his previous few months. ‘‘Prior to March 23,’’ Roe said, ‘‘if you were to word-cloud ‘Ted Cruz,’ which we do every day — take all the Google mentions and Internet searches, dump them into a file and form a cloud — you can’t find ‘evangelical.’ ’’ In other words, voters were largely unaware of the Tea Party firebrand’s religious faith. To convince evangelicals that Ted Cruz was the ‘‘righteous’’ candidate, Roe told me, his team needed to sell him as such, from the very beginning: ‘‘Regardless of what you’ve got in the bank, you’d better determine the narrative of the campaign, and show that’s who we are, every day."

Last night's results suggest that effort worked beautifully.

Yes, Iowa is unusually dominated by evangelicals, and yes, if Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum are any indication, Cruz faces an uphill battle to get the Republican nomination, much less win a single state. But we have to hand it to Roe. Never before has a candidate that so many Americans find this intensely annoying managed to make it this far."

Nothing like this is coming out about the Trump or Kasich campaigns. If there was anything like this going on with Trump the media would be screaming it from the rooftops.

Memo to Jeff Roe:

[mouse1]

Trump is busy reading about all Cruz’s bimbos...

Wait until they parade these women around CNN and FOX. Don’t miss it.

As someone said on another thread wait until Gloria Alred trots them out sobbing. Don’t know if that will happen.
Wait until one of them signs a book deal....they will fall like dominoes.

[maggief]

Understandably, Jeff Roe is called the “next Karl Rove.”

[rineaux]

The dots are connected.

Cruz and company knew about the affair story a month or so ago.

Ted Truth-lying but you believe the lie therefore it's true.

[TheConservativeBanker]

Is this a forbidden “coordinating activity” between the campaign and a Super PAC?

[dowcaet]

The media is mad because they were hoping Cruz got the nomination and then they could spring this on him.
