I agree with you, it’s trash and no one should take the NE seriously. However, why do you resort to the same tactics of hints, hearsay and innuendo with happenstance connections to strongly imply this story was ‘planted’ by the Trump campaign?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Because this is the 4th unsupported hit piece done by the NE for the Trump campaign, Trump is a long time friend of the NE publisher, Me Pecker, and long time Trump sleaze artist Roger Stone is the only person quoted in the story.
All the above combined with the timing, polls showing Trump falling behind Cruz in WI and Trump losing ground nationally to Cruz.
I see, solid facts with no other possible explanation.
