BREAKING: Political Operative Speaks Out on ‘Cuban Mistress Crisis’
Gateway Pundit ^ | 03/28/2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 03/28/2016 7:28:12 PM PDT by Mensius

--snip--

OPERATIVE: Yeah, two and the anchor. The anchor here is the absurdity. You know, the Enquirer story. Five women, shoving ‘em in closets and on desks or whatever right in the middle of meetings. That’s kind of, that’s, I just don’t see how you hide or how people miss that kind of stuff. That’s Bill Clinton stuff, you know. Sex crazed. And Glenn Beck does this whole I got raped by Ted Cruz bit this morning and everybody on my staff got raped, tasteless stuff.

GP: Yeah, we blogged about that . . .

OPERATIVE: yeah, I know, and that’s the anchor. And Beck doubled down on the anchor, said something about five women in closets and all that like I said, right? And then he sets the anchor really strong with a headline and it worked cause it was the headline you even went with. He said If this is true I’ll drop Ted Cruz like a hot potato.

GP: Yeah. Uh huh.

OPERATIVE: So there’s the hook, the headline, and then he sets expectations. He lowers the bar sort of so to speak. He says something like “Look, if it turns out Cruz had an affair six years ago and came clean and made up with his wife or whatever, then who am I to judge. People make mistakes.”

GP: Yeah. So how does that work then? What’s, how does that go with the anchor?

OPERATIVE: I think Glenn Beck just told the world the real story. There was an affair six years ago. One affair. It’s over now. And the Enquirer story is so over the top that a single affair six years ago will look like, yeah, whatever. It’s a perfect anchor, hook, and low ball. Perfect. It’s what Jeff Roe, his campaign manager, does.

I totally get why people are supporting Trump. I kind of laughed at the ‘low-information’ thing from Cruz, but thought he was wrong. I think it’s just more high emotion. That is not my personality type, never has been. I think most of the time it just makes people make bad decisions.

Hah, well, I wouldn’t call an affair ‘simple’. I’ve read about the other two things you mentioned. I am ignorant on most campaign law. Like I said, at the time of the Florida primary I made my decision based on who I thought was the most conservative candidate, with the most conservative track record and (again) was the lesser of the evils to choose from.

There is no proof to this point that Cruz committed adultery. Right now, Ted is pretty much looking like he *is* holier than thou, and you're pretty much looking like a calumnist.

Isn't it funny how appearances, vs. fact, proof, evidence, etc., are all that counts to the Trump camp... if or when it concerns allegations against Cruz. But if it concerns Trump, they're suddenly all about said proof. Convenient double-standard they have there. And they have that in common with the radical leftists. Coincidence?

I was born out of the country to TWO U.S. citizens in the 60’s. I was considered a dual. I had to declare as an adult.

I could see women with him if he were rich or a Senator, but six years ago? Not sure.

“I totally get why people are supporting Trump”

I think the motivations are similar between Cruz and Trump supporters. I was a Cruz supporter early on but once I saw the phony façade fall away I cannot support him.

I think Trump has the best policy plans in Immigration, Terrorism, taxation, trade, regulatory, foreign relations, and health care. And, I think he would accomplish most of what his platform is. Ted doesn’t have a very good record of accomplishment in the Senate...he isn’t a deal maker.

In the case we are talking about a dual citizen is not just British subject. Just because the country you happen to be in allows you to claim citizenship that doesn’t not make you a natural born citizen of the US if your parent is a US citizen.

I never said it did. You initial question was "If my mom, a US citizen, was in England on vacation when I was born, would I be an English subject". The answer was yes, prior to 1983, you would be a British subject ( no such thing as an English subject ). I didn't say anything about being a natural born US citizen. As far as being a British subject, in the circumstance you presented, citizenship was bestowed automatically- there was no need to claim it.

Mark my words. It will be played as ‘one affair’ and that we should ‘move on’ and that Trump is a ‘big, fat meany. This garnering the forgiveness of the public and to rally around Heidi. Glenn Beck started that this weekend.

I read it the two or three times it was already posted.

I never finished it after I hit the only sentence that had any meaning from the "secret operative" who said "I have no direct, personal knowledge that my conclusions are true"
