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.

Completely terrible. Cruz can’t answer a straight question without a ‘lawyer-ly’ hedge. “I never denied I cheated. I just said the story was garbage.”
He’s going to start defining “is” next.
Enough with the Harvard trained lawyers already.
Trump at least admits his faults.
Now that is just funny
How are they going to get past handing out all that money? That's not so easily explained and it's concrete and traceable.
Speaking of money, wonder how much Cruz shelled out for hookers and flying them to Virginia and paying for their hotels.
Lots more to come to light, I think.
Did you make that lie up all by yourself, or did you have help?
Sorry, that ship sailed a long, long time ago, and all of it is out in the public domain. The problem for Teddy is that he's touted his persona as being a male version of “The Church Lady,” so this will not play well for him once it's out. If he were the runaway first place candidate, maybe, but he isn't. He's scratching for votes and this stuff will peel away voters.
Maybe.
Especially if your dad was a Limey.
But that's different. These standards are for Ted Cruz only. (Damn, I sound just like a Democrat)
Do you think she is keeping the “other woman” under her wing as a blackmail mechanism to maintain a sort of “Cruz control?”
Or in Trump’s case, he can have affairs and then lie about being a Conservative.
I’ve never like Fiorina but, geez, she is awful in this! Hard to watch her!
cruz sickens me!”
Yes, and this constant pseudo-psychoanalysis Cruze does on Trump makes me puke. Just imagine Trump laughs his head off.
Sure if he actually said that.
Yet, there is something sexually stimulating about her.
Like what? I have yet to find a single position where Trump is more Conservative than Mitt Romney. Higher taxes on the rich. Government paid health care. Touchback amnesty. Kelo. All of these issues matter. And on none of them does Trump take the Conservative position.
CRBA?
Your blatant double-standard is duly noted.
Maybe to Cruz, he seems to have a problem with that, though.
What about this? This is no "one time affair"?! This is several times with a hooker.....
