The most revealing thing has been Cruz’s reaction to all this. Put yourself in Cruz’s shoes. If you were unjustly accused by a national magazine, especially of something this terrible, what would your reaction be? I would be shouting my innocence from the rooftops. I would demand a retraction. I would demand to know what evidence they had so I could refute it. I would demand to know their sources, so I could face my accusers. I would have my lawyers working overtime so they could be at the courthouse with a libel suit within a few hours. Cruz hasn’t done any of this.
Instead, he went on TV, hardly mentioned the National Enquirer, blamed everything on Trump, Trump. Trump, and then bizarrely, started talking about copulating with rats.
That is not the response I expect from a righteous man unjustly accused. That is the response I expect from a guilty man who’s seeing his political career going up in flames and has no idea how to stop it.
Has anybody figured that out yet? What was he saying or trying to say??
I was thinking the same thing. His response wasn't denial. It was a weird attack.

Very insightful.

Dead-on - the problem Cruz has is that he has no clue as to just how much evidence is out there - if he tries hitting National Enquirer, they may go the next step, so at least he’s smart enough not to go there.
I suspect that your narrative is on target. Ryan it will be then!
I agree Ted is toast. Not only that, doubt he’ll win the Senate seat from Texas next time around. The man is totally destroyed. I guess he’ll be someone’s legal guy in the back room in some law office forevermore.
