Zitat

Something to keep in mind is that Super PAC's are a great way for politicians to play dirty tricks while keeping their hands clean

---

Algernon, you're implying that Cruz may have been responsible for the ad and committed an illegal act. Is that really what you're saying? You seem to be saying you're not, but then you repeat it.

Oh, and while we're talking about people condemning bad acts, what about that tweet comparing Melania to Heidi Cruz and making fun of Cruz? Oh, wait, Trump himself did that one. Makes it hard for him to condemn it.

---

One thing at a time:
o1. I'm stating that the fact that Cruz " may have been responsible for the ad and committed an illegal act" is a possibility that ought to be considered when evaluating what happened in the 'nude Melania pic affair'..
Cruz's duplicitous behaviour regarding TPA indicates he certainly is not above underhanded politics. [links available upon request.]

02. Re:"Oh, and while we're talking about people condemning bad acts, what about that tweet comparing Melania to Heidi Cruz and making fun of Cruz? Oh, wait, Trump himself did that one. Makes it hard for him to condemn it. "
What does this have to do with your comment I addressed in 01.

For everyone's information:
the second posting of the sentence about super PAC's and clean hands was a typo resulting from haste and poor proof reading. However it bring about an interesting response.

IMO Cruz needs to disavow the ad, PERIOD.

It was a nasty business from which he did benefit whether he had knowledge or not. Therefore it would behoove him to issue a disavowal since people are currently real big on that, at least when it comes to Trump.

He did apologize for over-zealous staffers in the Carson matter.

So why not one strong statement now, which could possibly put the whole thing to bed?

Of course as both Carson and Trump noted the apology was a day late and who knows how many votes short. Look at the timing of various tweets in the link I posted

---

And, what exactly would Cruz be apologizing for in this case? That an anti-Trumpster, who doesn't like Cruz either, wanted people to vote for Cruz over Trump and ran a disgusting ad? What part of that is Cruz apologizing for? Running against the Donald?

Without reproducing the photo here, the ad ITSELF says "or you could vote for Ted Cruz." Therefore Cruz received a benefit from the ad.

---

"Failed political consultant Liz Mair is crowd funding a political attack on billionaire presidential candidate Donald Trump and she’s getting noticed."


We know that Donald Trump is not funding her and Ted Cruz is benefiting from her efforts.

That does not preclude a Cruz apology, disavowing the ad. We wait in vain.

---

Come on, TM, I know you value truth. Cruz is benefiting from Rubio dropping out - should he apologize for that? That's just silly.

Answering an earlier question - Mair doesn't like Cruz either. Just less so than Trump.

Assuming 'this case' means 'The nude Melania pic affair', this is an interesting train of thought

Cruz ought to be disavowing the content of the ad.

In stead of just stating he had nothing to do with the ad and found the ad completely inappropriate Cruz chose to get into it with Trump via twitter.

---

Are you freaking serious? Trump is the one who started the Twitter crap with an entirely inappropriate slur on Heidi Cruz! And, you manage to blame the whole thing on Cruz? Good grief, how can you contort the facts like this? I've known you for a long time (in an anonymous internet kind of way of course) and I am shocked. How on earth can you do this?
