Yep, it's called denial.
Of course, none of us are immune to it. That's why it's important for us to pray that God will keep us teachable and reasonable, or as the Bible says, "easy to be entreated." It's so much easier to just put up walls and block out unpleasant information.
Has Heidi always been so prominent in the campaign? Or is this starting to become a “stand by your man” deal?
Monica Lewinsky denied the allegations about her too, so that doesn't really mean much. I don't know all the details, but the odds that all 5 women would intentionally supply false information to the NE are basically nil. Besides, the folks at the NE are smart enough to know what seems real and what doesn't.
There is no way Heidi Cruz put it in an email that she knew all about Ted’s mistresses and she was okay with it. That’s hogwash. And I despise the slimy Cruz.
It’s also stupid for someone to say they got an email like that from Heidi. The obvious question is “Where is a copy of the email?” I think this whole John Doe deal is made up. I wish it was true.
Not to mention he's a Canadian.
Insulting Christian values
Yep, Christians don’t act like he’s acting.
That story says there are rumors that he had affairs with five women. It doesn’t say five different women have come forward accusing him. That’s a huge difference. In fact, unless a woman has come forward today, no woman has accused him and two of the five have denied any affair.
I’m not defending Cruz. If he did it he deserves what he gets. I readily admit he may well have had affairs with five or more women, but that isn’t what the original NE story said. They basically reported the existence of rumors. I believe it is critical to be precise with facts, particularly when a man’s reputation, not to mention marriage, is at stake. If I am in error I want to be corrected myself. I do not want to bear false witness against Cruz or these women.
They tried to destroy Linda Trip. She didn’t ask to be involved. Monica started talking and Trip gave her some great advice that, like you said, probably saved her life.
The phantom insider has now been promoted to ‘significant insider’.
Cruz slapped them with legal notices to shut up.
If that’s true, it says a lot.

The five women haven’t provided anything to the NE. The article basically says it’s rumors.
So its not about the Adultery, its about the Fruit of the tree Cruz has shown us as to who and what he appears to really be - another just another Ivy League lawyer playing conservative for fools to gain power.
Good post.
But the thing is, it's all the same thing: having affairs (and denying them) and lying about your agenda for the country are both forms of deception and cheating. Yes, adultery is serious and certainly does matter, but at the same time it's just more fruit from a corrupt tree. As Jesus said, "By their fruit you will know them."
In general, if someone commits adultery (and especially if they lie about it), you can rest assured that there's plenty of corruption in other areas of their life as well. That's why the assertion we constantly heard about Bill Clinton--"It's just sex!!!!"--was completely ludicrous.
Then that would mean the NE made up the story out of whole cloth. I don't think they're that stupid to do that. Why haven't they done the same thing with other candidates, such as Rubio?
Cruz would have had to require them to sign confidential forms when they hired, not send threats after they quit. Once gone, these former employees are out of Cruz's control.
Perhaps the email was a privileged communication only to top staffers, not to the whole campaign.
These folks also have nondisclosure agreements, so they cannot publicly say anything if they leave the campaign.
Another human trait is that when you are on the inside of the crowd, you keep things confidential because you want to stay on the inside.
Heidi is back, with the unspoken message that all will be well, staffers.
I want to know more about Amanda Carpenter hatching the plot to mislead the Carson voters.If true, she was doing this while still working as a CNN contributor.
If she is this devious, then her railing of being mistreated over the NE rumors is just so much bull.
Where there is smoke, there is fire.
It’s your lie, tell it how you want.
what you say makes sense. However my opinion is because Trump has a massive Ego as a turn-around super manager and is a family man who knows hes getting old, that his ego will get the wall built and do massive damage to the globalists if hes not assassinated. His Ego wants a Turn around - The big feather in his cap. hes not in it for money, fame etc obviously.
Cruz on the other hand has shown me to be another John Roberts style of ivy League lawyer conservative and has a history of being a Globalist. He was a Bush camp insider and helped push that agenda.
Thanks for the info and correction. But there has to be some substance to the rumors IMO for the NE to publish them. I mean, didn't they include (fuzzy) pictures of these women? The NE has to be careful, and they're not stupid.
BTW, is there a link to the NE story anywhere? I'd like to read it myself.
I believe it is critical to be precise with facts, particularly when a man’s reputation, not to mention marriage, is at stake. If I am in error I want to be corrected myself. I do not want to bear false witness against Cruz or these women.
I agree. But Cruz's refusal to answer a simple question about whether he has ever been unfaithful to his wife says it all IMO. Judge Judy wouldn't buy that for a minute.
Anyway, I have to go do other things now. I'll try to catch up on the rest of the posts here later. :)

Agreed. :)
