That National Enquirer Ted Cruz "bombshell" confirmed a huge nothingburger
Twitter ^ | 2/24/2016 | Some guy who took a picture

Posted on 03/24/2016 3:53:37 PM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

Link goes directly to picture of the article that's good enough to read.

FULL Disclosure: I'm not a Cruz supporter, but I hate this kind of sleaze and I'm hoping that we can put this to rest before it gets submitted 500 times.

The entire article is based off of the threat from a hoax "Anonymous" account on Twitter, which later turned out to be a RickRoll (all related tweets have since been deleted). I am pretty sure the "details" are actually lifted from replies to the original tweet, LOL. Since they're deleted, I can't be sure. Point being, it was all a hoax and there's nothing there at all, and that's what the article is based off of.

Anyway, just wanted to put it out there that it's typical NE trash, not one of their once-per-decade real bombshells.

Carry on with the War of the Wives. :)

I wonder how long this was printed after Drudge dropped the bomb?

you know, a lot of things are sort of interesting. Again, my tinfoil hat..

I just checked back at the sidebar, and noticed the story of Walker saying none of the current candidates will be the nominee if there is a brokered convention.

conventional wisdom here on FR and many places has been that the GOP will toss the corpse of Ted aside when they are done using him

perhaps the plan was... deny Trump the delegate count using Ted... break this story during the convention...send Ted’s delegates to Kasich

NOW they broker and barter

ok, I’ll take off my tinfoil hat now

“Debate it. We pull crap sources.”

The National Enquirer is not a crap source on these types of stories they have probably the best track record in the journalistic industry for breaking adulterous politicians.

I have no doubt you are Cruz supporters, but your attempts to block what is breaking news in reality is not helpful to your highly regarded website.

Let’s also add in the liability factor for them if this is a made up story...doesn’t fit would be too risky. We will see in a few days...

When you read the story, you see that they do not actually accuse Cruz of anything.
The eyes are blacked out on the photos and they carefully place the words “alleged” and “rumored” etc... Throughout the article.
If they came right out and said “Cruz slept with Pierson”. Both can sue.
They say instead”Cruz was rumored to have slept with this blurry picture of someone who may have been Pierson” they cannot be sued.
They do not have the goods, or they would say so.

tinfoil back on again...

and THAT is why Trump has been insisting he’ll be the nominee. He knew all along about this story because his campaign manager was directly involved...

He knows the GOP plan, but he also knew this story was going to surface on Trumps timeline, not Mitt’s timeline.

Trump’s not been phased one bit by all the talk of a brokered convention. He just grins like a Cheshire cat.

*sets tinfoil hat to the side... in case I have to put on again*

There seems to be quite a little cabal in WI with the GOPe boys. Wish I could find that article.

Me. I like Ted Trump or Donald Cruz because they aren't the other smorgasbord of “I'm what you need bull-cockeye”. People be afraid of what they can't manage, always been and will be. Powers to be, take advantage of that mind set, been for a long while. What your seeing is a male dog sniffing the wind cause many a bitch in heat. Commitment for a bull last about an hour. A eagle commits till death. It's natural behavior!

Trump has run a clean campaign. I get sick of the sleaze camp always throwing poo when it is their side behind the cheating and the dirt.

double plus ungood! Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia!

What color is the sky in your twisted and perverse version of reality sheep?

Katrina Pierson would have been 24 fifteen years ago and still in college. In Dallas. Amanda Carpenter, about 19 fifteen years ago.

You don’t play much poker do you. You never expose the strength of your hand, you entice your opponent to engage you to build the pot. After you have them hooked and committed to the game, you then expose them and take them for what ever you can. Poker and politics, not much different.

That’s him, Panton. Ted’s last (I gather) college roommate, soon-to-be business partner and best man at Ted and Heidi’s wedding.
