BREAKING: Political Operative Speaks Out on ‘Cuban Mistress Crisis’
Gateway Pundit ^ | 03/28/2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/28/2016 7:28:12 PM PDT by Mensius

--snip--

OPERATIVE: Yeah, two and the anchor. The anchor here is the absurdity. You know, the Enquirer story. Five women, shoving ‘em in closets and on desks or whatever right in the middle of meetings. That’s kind of, that’s, I just don’t see how you hide or how people miss that kind of stuff. That’s Bill Clinton stuff, you know. Sex crazed. And Glenn Beck does this whole I got raped by Ted Cruz bit this morning and everybody on my staff got raped, tasteless stuff.

GP: Yeah, we blogged about that . . .

OPERATIVE: yeah, I know, and that’s the anchor. And Beck doubled down on the anchor, said something about five women in closets and all that like I said, right? And then he sets the anchor really strong with a headline and it worked cause it was the headline you even went with. He said If this is true I’ll drop Ted Cruz like a hot potato.

GP: Yeah. Uh huh.

OPERATIVE: So there’s the hook, the headline, and then he sets expectations. He lowers the bar sort of so to speak. He says something like “Look, if it turns out Cruz had an affair six years ago and came clean and made up with his wife or whatever, then who am I to judge. People make mistakes.”

GP: Yeah. So how does that work then? What’s, how does that go with the anchor?

OPERATIVE: I think Glenn Beck just told the world the real story. There was an affair six years ago. One affair. It’s over now. And the Enquirer story is so over the top that a single affair six years ago will look like, yeah, whatever. It’s a perfect anchor, hook, and low ball. Perfect. It’s what Jeff Roe, his campaign manager, does.

If “one affair” is confirmed, everyone with think “the other ones are probably also true, but he’s just hiding them better”.

No one today thinks a political affair is a single slip. Everything is seen as part of an ongoing pattern.

It’s over for Cruz.

That’s why Amanda calls teddy “Daddy Cruz”, and her daughter looks remarkably like teddy.

I agree with the premise of this article. And I think Cruz will succeed.

Agree. If true, it confirms "Lyin' Ted"

Well, then....by that same criteria, it's also over for Trump...since he not only committed adultery (multiple times)...but he bragged about bedding his friends' wives in one of his books.

The point is: Cruz would be no better. The opposite of the argument made by cruzers for months.

Only ONE affair 6 years ago with Amanda Carpenter acting like a love-sick nut who might strap you to a bed and break your ankles with a hammer? No, don’t think so. I’m calling at least 2 affairs, maybe 3. 5 is probably pushing it, but then, Cubans and Latins in general are crazy enough to go for 5. I know, because I’m an insane, but glorious Spaniard (but I don’t cheat).

That’s why trump gets away with it. No dodging questions. No pay outs. No cover ups. Just up and up truth. Cruz needs to learn about truth.

It seems like the Cruz campaign tried to throw a knockout punch at Trump and missed. They then proceeded to get a couple of left jabs from Trump followed by a right cross.

It's like they're dazed, but not down, trying to figure out what happened and trying to recover. They may every well recover in the next few days. But it makes you wonder if there isn't a DNA dress or soiled candy wrapper yet to be revealed.

And the bit about Heidi Cruz on the side of the road some months back...they gave a cockamamie response that never adequately explained what was up. But in the heat of the campaign the mediots moved on.

Trump isn’t anointed by God.
Trump isn’t holier than thou.

Trump’s supporters don’t care about that stuff. It’s a huge advantage.
Cruz’s supporters like Cruz because he is the perfect Conservative in every way. Family man. Christian. He’s unblemished.

Now, not so much.
