The Ted Cruz campaign was called out for a very fake photoshop of Marco Rubio last week. This image of Rubio enthusiastically shaking Obama's hand was used on a Cruz campaign landing page.
The Cruz campaign initially denied the photo was fake, which led to an important fact check by the internet. The photoshop feud led to an important competition on Twitter, where users attempted their own Rubio photoshops with stunning accuracy.
This reflects on Ted management style just like Rick Tyler’s firing reflects on Ted’s hiring judgment and management ability.
Yesterday is the first time Cruz denounced anything. His campaign has been off target since the campaign solicitations became unbearable, starting during the holidays. With Cruz running a "do what it takes to win" campaign, he's enabling bad behavior by his supporters. Thus, even if he's not directly to blame, Cruz is responsible.
So, who with a double-digit IQ couldn’t tell that was photoshopped?
Marco lies and lies and stabs you in the back at every turn, and Ted is “self righteous”. Ah, “pent up anger” rearing its ugly head again. Yeah, I am always furious when a man of honor gets treated shabbily by those who SHOULD be in his corner.
Another obvious point. But the commercial is great, except for this stupid decision to include a clearly “fake” photo.
It might be better for you to stop calling Trump supporters cultists, Levin much? Why don't you figure out the ramifications of the messianic cult and messianic figure Cruz' followers have constructed about him... that might be a good mental exercise re propaganda.
FYI, I don't believe Cruz had the tiniest iota of hands-on regarding this, but I do know somehow, from somewhere, there is a culture in his campaign that causes people working for him to think these kinds of things are okay. Same as the Iowa situation, and many other things. You can take it from there...
have a great day!
Better question: who in Cruz' campaign thinks people are so stupid that they would get away with this? One of his fellow Harvard grads?
Please, don't excuse the act just because it was a lousy photoshop.
Have a great day!
Why should Ted have immediately denounced something that only frauds and dummies would be outraged over? The fact is that Rubio DID huddle with Maobama constantly during his treasonous Gang of 8 days!
Do you realize Ted’s round-the-clock schedule leaves him NO TIME to do anything but be the candidate?
Seems fair.
However, if this was a Trump commercial...
It would be the subject of every newscast on every network, the subject of thousands of blogs, and F.R. would be on fire with the comments from Trump haters. Also, Donald Trump would be accused of personally editing the picture with photoshop.
Or do you not remember how he was accused of bulldozing an old lady's house personally ? Even though it wasn't bulldozed.
There is nothing to be “excused”. Marco and Donald are the ones who are progressive frauds. They are only getting away with their duplicity b/c of friends in the press and vulnerability of their voters’ brains.
Where is your link?
Please don't presume to tell me whose corner I belong in ... or does your spiritual superiority extend to telling people who is the right person to support and who is or is not a man of honor? I think I might be able to figure that all out without any help from you. In fact, I'm sure I can.
I don't believe her personally did it.
But do you believe he is responsible for what the people HE HIRED/APPOINTED to his campaign put out IN HIS NAME ?
It's not the candidates, it's the staffs.
The candidates, usually, don't have a clue as to what's going on. No different than congressmen and senators when it comes to the bills they vote on. It is the staffs.
To the staffs of candidates, politics is a game just as it is to pundits. The office holder/candidate is like a temp. worker to the staffs. They survive in DC with NO TERM LIMIT, shuffeling from one office to another as the principals are voted in and out.
Let’s let the voters decide.
You’re ready to call the game after the first inning and the score is 2 to 1.
Besides, what's phony about the concept. Of course Rubio has shook Obama's hand, as has Cruz as has Trump.
The following old image is not meant to deceive but to create a symbolic representation of a true world condition.
Trump has not and does not hold an elected office. He is a business man with a responsibility to share holders. Has nothing to do with the constitution but rather what does current law say
At the end of the commercial, does Ted Cruz say "I'm Ted Cruz and I approve this message." ?
