You knew my ex?!

I know what you state to be very true. Sad

I am very sorry for what you have been through. Almost everything about Ted that doesn't seem to be consistent with what he says adds up when you look at it through the prism of his bad childhood. I am sure that there are many men who eventually get over it, but Ted's current behavior indicates to me that he has not. He is a very nasty guy.

Whatever chance he had of becoming president has completely evaporated in the last few days. It is the same as when Marco went negative, for the first week or two people were egging him on and thought that it was working and then he tanked big time. Ted is on the precipice. He was poised to win Wisconsin on April 5, but people are now waiting with bated breath for the next issue of the National Enquirer to come out.

The National Enquirer comes out with a lot of crazy stuff, but they haven't got a political sex scandal wrong in over 30 years and maybe longer. They have perfected the art of using a scandal like this to sell hundreds of millions of issues of their little newsprint weekly for $5 a piece. Take a look at their coverage of John Edwards, Anthony Weiner, Jessie Jackson, Herman Cain, Gary Hart, etc., etc., etc... They always start with a teaser which is short on facts. Then they wait for the reaction from the hapless politician to increase interest in the story.

Ted's tirades this last week have caused just about everyone to hear about the story. The first issue in the series sells barely more than normal. Then the Enquirer releases a little more in the second issue which sells significantly more than the first. But they are not going to give it all to us, just enough to keep up the interest in the story. The third issue will sell more than the second and so on, and so on. The more squirming Ted does the more free publicity the National Enquirer will get and the more issues they will sell. They really couldn't care less about the current contest, the candidates, or the country, they just want to sell their little news print weeklies for $5 a piece. They have a very predictable pattern that has now been shown to work over and over and over again. Ted has been snared he is reacting even better than they could have hoped.

Thanks. A sane, well-reasoned analysis.

Roger Stone said when Trump said he might have to “spill the beans” on Heidi Cruz he was talking about exposing her for being a Bush globalist RINO. Her connections, and Lying Ted’s go deep with the RINO Bushes. The “great conservative” Ted Cruz is a fake. He and his wife are the establishment RINO version of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Both glory hounds who will say and do anything for power. And this stuff about him being a philanderer. You better believe it, cause it’s fact. The proof that it’s fact? He’s not mentioned suing the National Enquirer. When Trump is asked at tomorrow’s town hall about the allegations that’s exactly what he’s going to say. “I don’t know if it’s true or not, only Ted knows, but if it’s not true, he needs to sue and so far he’s not said he was suing, the voters can make up their own minds”.

Roger Stone said a couple of the allegations involve oral sex in a closet, so Cruz will pull a Clinton and we’ll get to hear him define what he thinks the act of sex is.

Thank you, Present Useful Chef!

[LMAO]

Those pushing the sex scandal and those denying it all have an agenda. No one knows what is true and what is false.

Time will tell. That’s all anyone can say

Thank you RR for posting and FUEater for the transcription of the end. I listened to the whole thing. Molyneux puts together a documented time line, makes a good presentation, and valid points. It does not address the merits, or lack thereof, of the content of the tabloid story, but does present events leading up to it and the statements made in response to it.

For Cruz supporters still open to a different perspective that the one Cruz is presenting, I think it is well worth taking the time to listen to it.

[Mr. Jeeves]

This is clearly NOT an appealing candidate in so many ways. He’s a candidate guaranteed to lose a national election.

He's a "Smarter Santorum".

We really have never seen a successor capable of enunciating Reagan's practical brand of charismatic conservatism. s.

[Randy Larsen]

Mine too, as an “Intellectual” he has a way of speaking that makes the subject matter understandable, without using double speak or huge words meant to impress his peers.

I like his vids.

Blue dress moment coming.

[riri]

I love Stefan.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Thanks for the first line. Fortunately I spotted it very early and was not married to him. I do agree that dysfunctional childhoods create (all too often) messed up adults.

What you’ve laid out here makes perfect sense.

I’ll submit that I wish we weren’t watching this train wreck unfold. As much as I do not want Cruz to be our nominee, it’s sad to watch a family unravel.

Thank you very much for the summary! Excellent!

I intend to watch his video now that my granddaughter has gone home.
