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.

I for one see the issue as an ongoing pattern
how could you not?
“Other than of course that Trump is a serial adulterer.”
What’s Trump got to do with it? Did Trump force Ted into affairs? Did Ted have an affair with Trump?
But, but, but, he did it too....whannnnn, whannnn, whannn.
Well, well, well.... The preacher man has been outed!!!! Too friggin funny!!!
“Just because the country you happen to be in allows you to claim citizenship that doesn’t not make you a natural born citizen of the US if your parent is a US citizen.”
Double negative, but yes that is true. But being BORN in Canada to a Cuban citizen father means you are NOT a “natural born (US) citizen on TWO counts. Regardless whether Canada gives you their citizenship or not.
It is not about Ted Cruz being a Canadian citizen or a Cuban citizen, it is about his UNITED STATES CITIZENSHIP status as an Article II “natural born citizen”, which he definitely is NOT!
Not likely, Sundance is in a league of his own.
The only thing good about Hoft is Kristinn.
bfl
We all gots theories, homie!
What's your name and campaign association?
Can I look up "Operative" in the DC phone book and call you?
Cruz supporters trying desperately to find a silver lining here is another example of the modern GOP being so obtuse that it’s difficult to see any rational reason to continue associating with this crew.
“No one today thinks a political affair is a single slip. Everything is seen as part of an ongoing pattern.”
Especially since Cruz ran as the most conservative, Christian, honest, clean candidate ever.
Ewwww!
Breitbart links to this story about Cruz releasing his birth certificate. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/headlines/20130818-ted-cruz-born-a-citizen-of-canada-under-the-countrys-immigration-rules.ece (sorry on mobile and too cumbersome to create a link) So what are you talking about he hasn’t released it?
I’m not getting atonement from Teddy. I’m getting guilty and ducking the issue.
My recommendation is always to search the scriptures.
I’m thinkin Teddy should be searching the scriptures. You should tweet him.
I sure hope it gets better...sure can’t get much worse. I’m afraid of the “purge” beginning all over again. :(
Cruz’s mom lived in Canada for 3 years prior to his birth. At the time a person had to live in Canada for 5 years in order to gain citizenship.
The “Daddy Cruz” thing got started when Cruz was defending his little girls after Wapo published the cartoon making fun of them.
“If my mom, a US citizen, was in England on vacation when I was born, would I be an English subject?”
Yes, if you or Cruz were born before 1983.
Where is all that information coming from?
“Isn’t it funny how appearances, vs. fact, proof, evidence, etc., are all that counts to the Trump camp... if or when it concerns allegations against Cruz. But if it concerns Trump, they’re suddenly all about said proof. Convenient double-standard they have there. And they have that in common with the radical leftists. Coincidence?”
That is just your own false perception and wishful thinking, because there are many critics of Cruz who also find plenty of issues for which Trump and the other candidates receive criticism as well.
