“It” means “it” when you are answering a question about “it”. Geez, he now must say “the article in NE dated...” at the beginning of each sentence to not confuse you? I took one sentence out of the response. Go read the full response if you lost the context.
Word smithing Cruz when you support a guy who brags about his ability to get people to believe things that aren’t true is pretty ironic...
The "wordsmithing" isn't just coming from us ignorant Trump-supporters.
Ted Cruz's denial was veritably teeming with deflection.
Why not just deny that he has ever had an affair, threaten a lawsuit, and leave it at that?
Instead, Cruz made a lawyer-esque statement and then proceeded to try to make an accusation against Trump without citing any evidence to support it.
Donald Trump seems to be the catch-all boogeyman in Ted Cruz's mind these days.
Why did Cruz go on and on deflecting about Donald Trump and his "henchmen", when everybody in the media has known about this story floating around for weeks and months, and that it was clearly the Rubio campaign that was trying to coax someone into releasing it weeks ago, even going to the trouble of attempting to scour their Tweets after the fact in order to hide their tracks?
And what's the deal with this $500,000 transfer from a Cruz super-PAC to a Fiorina super-PAC, while one of these alleged mistresses was working for the Fiorina campaign? Have you seen the payments she was made, both lump-sum and weekly? She must be a very talented woman!
I've heard no explanation for that payment. Can't we all agree that it seems rather odd and needs to be explained?
Furthermore, even Breitbart (notoriously pro-Trump) refused to release these rumors about Cruz.
Most of Ted Cruz's statement was deflection instead of straightforward denial that he had ever had any affairs.
I agree with the relatively thoughtful article posted on FR earlier today, wherein some CIA analysts (and others who are skilled at such things) dissected Ted Cruz's statement and opined that it left a lot to be desired for someone who is being completely truthful. Specifically, the amount of deflection combined with the lack of a formal denial "I have never had an affair" or anything to that effect.
JMHO, of course...
I guess you forgot the little issue of “it Depends on what the definition of “is” is.”
You say “it” is the article, affair, number of mistresses, etc. Cruz did not.
