Cruz Karma

Deflection and Hypocrisy

Poor Ted.  CHEATED.   CHEA-TED

Two days ago I posted on Cruz karma, saying that Cruz getting trolled by Trump was payback.  Cruz sat silent while Trump said outrageous things about his their mutual opponents, so it was poetic justice--or karma--that Cruz was being outrageously and unfairly trolled by Trump.

There was an un-sourced story in the National Enquirer alleging Cruz having five affairs, full of unfair allegations.   I assumed the story was utterly untrue, but Cruz would be put in the position of denying it.   And denying it.  And denying it.   Bad for him.

Carly tries to run interference.  The press won't let her.

Many voters assume where there is smoke there is fire and "Trusted Cruz" would be damaged by having to deny it.   I had no idea that Cruz would volunteer on camera that he does not want to have sex with rodents or with Donald Trump.  Say what?!   

That was a self inflicted wound.

Ted Cruz is mortally wounded, now by direct questions being given him by the press.   He has been put into the "perjury trap" that many Republicans found so delicious when Bill Clinton was put into it and asked a direct question under oath about Monica Lewinsky.   He works desperately to avoid a direct answer. 

Watch this brief question and answer:    http://goo.gl/fOi21R

Guilty look.   Guilty manner.  Embarassed.

It is devastating for Cruz. 

He won't answer the question.  Carly attempts to block and run interference.   Cruz's answer is to attack the National Enquirer.   What he does NOT say is that he has not been committing adultery.

Does it matter?  Well, Ted Cruz is the campaign of righteousness.   Cruz points the finger at others, calling them compromisers and unworthy.  Cruz calls himself Trusted, spelled out in print as TRUSTED.

If Ted were to be the nominee the GOP attack on Hillary and her constituency of women was to use the Swift Boat approach:  attack at her point of strength.  (Remember, the Swift Boat attack said that medal winner and Purple Heart holder John Kerry was actually a coward in battle under fire on the Mekong River, compared to George Bush who bravely fought communism in the Alabama Air National Guard.   The brilliance of the technique is to challenge the opponent at her strength: Hillary supported women.   No!  Hillary defended Bill and hurt women.)

Now there is a reason for Heidi to have been despondent on the side of the freeway

Now Ted is being Swift Boated, being attacked at his point of strength: the TRUSTED Conservative.

Heidi is being kept out of sight so she need not answer direct questions.

It is a sad moment for people who like Ted Cruz.
