You simply have to say “I DID NOT DO THAT”. If you say “ the prosecutors case is garbage” . That is no denial of your conduct Do people fall for this ? I am really amazed. This is what “is” is in spades!!
If he only said it was garbage, I might agree with you. But he also said it was lies. So far this is nothing but gossip. I would not be surprised if we found out for sure that there was cheating somewhere along the line. But right now there’s just no proof.
Perhaps he also deliberately said something completely different than Bill Clinton’s words, which we now know were a lie.
Or you can choose to ignore unfounded accusations which is probably the best way to handle it.
Why give it more press?
If Ted did deny, the little trumpers would just say he was lying.
I think he’s taken the high road on this one.
I remember when politically-astute FReepers understood that, if Cruz did as you suggest, the next day’s headlines would read: CRUZ DENIES . . . .
