....Yet at no point in either statement did Cruz say that. He implied it by saying the allegations are false, and that they’re lies, but behaviorally, such statements are not equivalent to saying he never had the affairs.

Even if we were to overlook that fact and consider his statements to be a denial, there is an overwhelmingly higher proportion of attack behavior compared to the effort expended at denial. This type of lopsided attack-to-denial ratio is very consistent with what we have historically seen with deceptive people when allegations are levied against them.

That ^^

You should be more concerned about when Cruz has to do if anyone has proof.

Trump wasn’t behind this.

[GLDNGUN]

Trump’s accusations are a moving target. Yesterday it was “Cruz did it”. Today it is “Cruz knew about it”. Where will it be Monday? Thursday? The next week?

Uh, no, actually YOU are trying to be the moving target. The story YOU linked quotes Trump: "he (Cruz) and his campaign went out and bought the cover shoot.

He didn't say Cruz "knew about it", he said they DID IT (went out and bought the cover shoot.'

Do you not read your own links? LOL Good grief.

When this political campaign season began, I was a Cruz man.

At this point, I would vote for anyone but Cruz.

Hillary is a senile liar, a Marxist, and has a muslim brotherhood lesbian lover...but she might be an improvement over Cruz.

Cruz is way out on the fringe of reality--not just politics, but that too.

Cruz is insane. And I say that as an human behavior professional--having spent the night in a Holiday Inn Express.

EjaculaTED.

[bert]

the fact there is not outright denial is a strong indicator of the stories or at least much of the stories being true

the defense is at best loud but crude

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Of course the married women aren’t going to come forward. But what about hooker #2?

Only one really has to, especially if there’s.....evidence.

[RoosterRedux]

From has appeared online, the hooker is a young woman who is petrified that Cruz will use his power as a US Senator to kill her.

That said, I hear there are monied sources now willing to protect her.

Developing...

[onyx]

Yep. Your basic non-denial denial.

Exactly!

How easy is it to say, "I've never been unfaithful to my wife, Heidi. All these allegations are flat-out false!" .... ?

Easy peasy, were that the truth!

[b9]

Wow, does that ever make sense.

Sarah Palin’s choice was also very telling. Just WDTD (what did Ted do) to turn her off?

[bert]

It would seem reasonable he tried to turn her on

[disndat]

An egomaniac versus a megalomaniac who are probably both suffering from satyriasis which prolly ain’t suffering but as the only two left we have to suffer them.

Who to vote for?

Ted “dipstick” Cruz?

OR

Donald “dipschtick” Trump?

I prolly hadn’t lose any sleep over it and trust my voting machine will make the right choice.

[b9]

Yikes.

I’d really, really like to know - after all she did to help him. And what exactly she must have told Donald.

My spidey-sense still questions Todd’s catastrophic accident.

[MaxistheBest]

This morning Ted said the same non-denial denial, but quickly pivoted to “but the American people want to hear about jobs”

Straight out of the Clinton/Lewinski playbook:

“I need to get busy working for the American people”

These politicians think we have no memory

[FreeAtlanta]

Maybe to set up his opponents. It wouldn’t matter to many who might very well be slandering him.

[wild74]

You read a lot into what I said, I will vote for Trump if he gets the nom, I don’t intend on handing it over to the Hidabeat, I just know they both need to settle down and not make the other side to mad at these back and forth BS that is going on about women and wives. I just don’t see any good outcome in any of this

[VerySadAmerican]

Hillary attacked lots of women. But she didn’t say anything about Monica because they both knew the truth was coming.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

>>No, but Killary did.<<

Does the term "flying ashtrays" bring anything to mind?

[Ladysforest]

“Not even Cruz supporters can look at that statement and beam with pride.”

I wouldn’t be too sure, :).
