From the above article:

“...we were struck by the volume of deceptive behavior that we identified in these statements.

Behaviorally, when the facts are the ally of an individual, he or she almost always tends to focus on the facts of the matter at hand.

In this case, if the key fact was that he had not had these affairs, Cruz would almost certainly have been much more strongly focused on the denial.

That is, he very likely would have made a point of explicitly stating something along the lines of, “I did not have these affairs.”


He never categorically denies having the affairs, does he?

That is true. An innocent person’s first reaction is -I am innocent. With Cruza it is someone else’s fault like CNN’s. Hell, he refused to own up t5o anything in Iowa. Why does his daughter appear almost afraid of him?

Ted uses lawyer words as smoothly and instinctively as Hillary does, parsing words, carefully constructing sentences, etc., to preserve deniability or "I didn't say THAT, I said THIS..."

More proof, as if we needed any, that it's time for 1. no more professional career politicians in public office, and 2. no more lawyers in public office.
