Appears! Hell the man has not explained either why 500 grand was given to Fiorina’s PAC when she had one of these women working for her last year.

The idiots must have watched an entirely different video than Cruz denial.

““I want to be crystal clear: these attacks are garbage. For Donald J. Trump to enlist his friends at the National Enquirer and his political henchmen to do his bidding shows you that there is no low Donald won’t go. These smears are completely false, they’re offensive to Heidi and me, they’re offensive to our daughters, and they’re offensive to everyone Donald continues to personally attack. Donald Trump’s consistently disgraceful behavior is beneath the office we are seeking and we are not going to follow.”

I want to see the video of young Cruz hoping to rule the world and claiming to be a superstud.

A sleazy lawyer. No surprise. I think lawyers are natural liars. Half the time they have to defend known criminals and make them look innocent. How is that done? Lying.

Lawyers deny and deflect.

That is their sole defense.

Why did Cruz go after Donald Trump instead of the contents of the article? That’s deflection.

I thought his “denial” was curious too. Seemed more interested in hurting Trump then showing his faithfulness to his wife.

And he’s not co-operating with FEC on Goldman Sachs loans, making them go the hard way to get information.

His first statement also contains a blatant lie: Roger Stone has not been a campaign adviser since August of last year.

How can you trust anything Cruz says after that? He lies deliberately.

Well, that’s certainly one unique way of saying ‘Ted is a sex crazed poodle’.

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.

Actually, this pretty well characterizes everything Cruz says. Virtually every interview with him follows this pattern.

Q: Didn't your wife Heidi belong to the Council of Foreign Relations and work hard for the North American Union? And more recently, didn't she borrow millions from Morgan Stanley to fund your campaign?

A: That Trump is a sleazy liar, constantly insulting my wife! I think I'll use a nude photo of Trump's wife in one of my ads!

It wasn’t Trump. Even Cruz has admitted it was Rubio.

Cruz would almost certainly have been much more strongly focused on the denial.

It wasn't a denial, it was a dismissal followed by a deflective accusation.

I can't speak for everyone else, but if I were accused of such a thing, my first reaction would be - 'Are you crazy? I've never cheated on my husband!'

If Trump don’t watch out he will start losing the supporters of Ted Cruz and that will not be good if he gets the nomination

From the above article:

“...we were struck by the volume of deceptive behavior that we identified in these statements.

Behaviorally, when the facts are the ally of an individual, he or she almost always tends to focus on the facts of the matter at hand.

In this case, if the key fact was that he had not had these affairs, Cruz would almost certainly have been much more strongly focused on the denial.

That is, he very likely would have made a point of explicitly stating something along the lines of, “I did not have these affairs.”


He never categorically denies having the affairs, does he?

Why is it that the object of Enquirer’s salacious baby daddy/affairs/hooker political stories always start with the garbage and smears defense, followed by the “not worth a response” response followed by the I made a mistake with his wife beside him response. I prefer the 2 times convicted former jailrat governor of Louisiana, Edwin Edwards response “So what.They will vote for me so long as I am not caught in bed with a dead woman or a live boy”
