The Ted Cruz sex scandal story just took another twist, with Cruz blaming Donald Trump for allegedly planting the story that ran last week and serious doubts arising over whether any of it is actually true.
The National Enquirer story accused Cruz of cheating on his wife, Heidi, with as many as five mistresses. The women were not named in the story but were quickly identified through their blurred out pictures and details of the alleged affairs.
Cruz immediately denounced the story as untrue — as have some of the women identified as his mistresses — and now Cruz is going on the offensive against Donald Trump. Cruz has accused Trump of planting the story, noting that the only named source in the story is a former aide to Donald Trump
CNN recounted Cruz’s accusations.
“Cruz suggested that Roger Stone, a former aide to Trump, and David Pecker, CEO of the National Enquirer’s parent company, had been in cahoots, pushing an item he has repeatedly denied and denounced as ‘garbage.'”
“‘The story, on its face, quoted one person on the record: Roger Stone,’ Cruz said during a CNN town hall event in Wisconsin. ‘Roger Stone has been Donald Trump’s chief political adviser. He planned and ran his presidential campaign and he’s been his hatchet man — he’s spent 40 years as a hatchet man. But not only that, the head of the National Enquirer, a guy named David Pecker, is good friends with Donald Trump.'”
There are serious doubts being raised about the Ted Cruz sex scandal story, with several media outlets poking holes in the Enquirer’s story...

It's NOTHING at all special, though. Many people can quote lines from old movies, new movies, T.V. shows; even over 100 year old operettas! There's no trick to it...except knowing when and HOW to use it properly, which is something that completely escapes Ted !
Also, whilst your at it, there is a 2011 interview, which Ted gave to a T.V. host in Texas with call in questions. A caller asked him what qualifies one to be a NBC. His answer was : A person whose both parents were American citizens at the time of birth, born on the soil of the USA. That is the correct answer.
You argument appears to be with Ted Cruz and our Government; not with me.
Sorry but it’s very well known about Cruz’s memory ability...that does not mean he isn’t going to miss speak or flub things....there’s no guarantee of perfection for any candidate. They can all fall into the traps and bait shifting.
Trump doesn’t think on his feet as much as shifts and manipulates his environment to protect his ego....be it lashing out, telling people what they want to hear in the moment, or outright altering the facts....it’s all to hide and protect his fragile ego...it’s not a gift, it’s learned behavior to handle his inner turmoil. For Ted it’s a gift he has that comes with the package.
Agreed. We have multiple sources, not just the same source multiple times, saying that Team Rubio started these rumors. That’s a whole lot more substantive than the rumors themselves, where I have seen no evidence.
Though it has been claimed that Ted has a certain kind of memory, he has only exhibited it once, IF it was for real. He does have a fairly good ability to memorize; everything he says is thoroughly scripted, memorized, and the regurgitated. Elsewise, he gets that "deer in the headlights" look and is unable to answer in any way; cogent or not.
Some people learn aurally ( that's by listening ), or by reading. A very few are able to do it both ways. I know that you and others find his parroting ability to somehow be "amazing"/make him "brilliant", but frankly, it's no big deal.
Yes, Trump is all over the place. It doesn't bother me, but I can understand that it might be bothersome to others. The thing is, his brain is going faster than his mouth can, so he jumps around somewhat, but eventually, he brings it back to where he left off and ties it all together. He is NOT a "public speaker", nor a professional politician.
Your biases and lack of education is showing. Bless your heart.
Re Teddy's memory trick; it's NOT a "gift"; it's a many hundreds of years mental trick, which is learned and has been taught to many others.
Really? Over what exactly?
Like what his home state is.....guess his memory hit a speed bump
To get them to ban the hashtag #cruzsexscandal.
The DC Madam list will be released within 2 weeks.
Word on the street is that Cruz is on it. Which would match the N.E. Story.
Word on the street? Who? Good old sundance?
Looks like we are all about 10 months behind this story. Here is the earliest start of the printed gossip on the Cruz/Carpenter sex scandal. It dates to the day Amanda resigned from Ted Cruz’s campaign:

@amandacarpenter
True. It’s been a fantastic run and I’m so grateful for the opportunity. Lots of love to all my colleagues!
12:44 PM - 9 Jun 2015
REAL REASON for Carp’s departure:
1. Lesbian;
2. Drugs;
3. Carped money from Better Dead Than Ted;
4. Carped money from Con Bosses or 501c3/4; and/or,
5. Affair with Better Dead Than Ted - and Missus Better Dead Than Ted found out.
Place your bets.
lol ... good one ... How do you lose your train of thought on a yes or no question?
Way to go. Let’s keep bashing the only American patriot running for president so we can nominate a Canadian globalist. Then Hillary or Bernie gets to finish the job of turning the USA into part of a North American Union. Want to be a citizen/serf of the world? Vote Cruz. NWO uber allis.
From what I’ve read, all of this had been traced back to Rubio; but people are so desperate to take out Trump that facts don’t matter anymore.
“Precisely, because it won’t matter one iota if jumps through the hoops of those who hate him or not- they will simply demand he jump through another, then another, then another”
Would it be OK if he just jumped through the first hoop? He hasn’t even done that yet! All anyone gets is deflection and blame where none is warranted.

On August 13, 2015, an online tabloid celebrity gossip contest hints at a Cruz/Carpenter scandal. The journalist/potus sex-scandal was baited to readers, but was unsolved in August.
December 14, 2015, they ran the lobbyist/potus candidate story. This one was solved as Ted Cruz and they noted one of their readers had already guessed it correctly. (Except that Amanda is not a lobbyist.)

The Presidential Candidate And The Journalist
AUGUST 13, 2015
EXCLUSIVE!
[Blind Gossip] Whether you love or hate this Presidential Candidate, he certainly gets people talking. One of those people is a female journalist from a large media company. She had an affair with the married Candidate. She has been talking to friends and colleagues about how worried she is that the story of the affair will break nationally and ruin them both.
EXCLUSIVE! Presidential Candidate Affair:
December 14, 2015
[Blind Gossip] We have the scoop about a dramatic revelation that is expected to shake up the U.S. Presidential race within the next few weeks!
One of the candidates who is expected to make it through to the primary election is going to have to face accusations about a very recent affair. The person with whom they were having the affair: A lobbyist!
Needless to say, this accusation will raise all kinds of questions about impulse control, judgment, honesty, integrity, and vulnerability to influence from special interest groups… as well as their portrayal of themselves as “happily married” and committed to family values.
This could be a game-changer, folks!

According to Hannity and others, Rubio was the one who was behind the scandal story on Cruz. Cruz knows this, and it is a measure of his dishonesty that he keeps accusing Trump. And a measure of dishonesty of the MSM who echo the accusation.
If...if...if: How about the attacks and slime that was done on Cruz's behalf by folks that are currently working for him instead of the possibility that an ex Trump guy may have done something slimy?
We have proof of slime by current Cruz people (plural) and allegations of slime by ex-Trump person (singular), and you want to stamp your little feet and note that Trump might be dirty?
No wonder our side keeps losing....
Does anyone think this can be true? If you're afraid your "affair" will become public knowledge, you don't discuss it with friends (plural) and colleagues (plural) - that's what you do if you want something, even a lie, to become public knowledge. As for whether it's true, maybe it is, but I have seen no evidence at all. I'm going to take this like I took many such (usually but not always false) rumors in high school - as baseless gossip.
I'd rather talk about protecting our borders, a topic on which Trump and then Cruz are the two best candidates in several decades.
I'd rather talk about repealing Obamacare, a topic on which Cruz and then Trump are the two best candidates since that terrible law was "deemed passed".
I'd rather talk about protecting our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms, a topic on which Cruz and then Trump are two of the best candidates since most people figured out there was no good will on the "we just want these common sense reforms, we don't want to take your guns" side.
We are facing Hillary Clinton, a power hungry version of Bill Clinton's sleaze, but fortunately without any of the charm corrupt people saw in Bill. We are facing Bernie Sanders, the first open socialist to run as a strong candidate in America. This is not the time for patriotic Americans to squabble over frivolous details (and, yes, whether Cruz had a rumored affair for which there is no evidence is a frivolous detail) and try to destroy either of the two best candidates who have a chance to (perhaps) save our country from destruction - and possibly civil war.
