No, of course he isn’t.

Of course!

When Trump brags about bedding married women, he then has no standards to live up to, and is insulated from criticism.

But, start a lie about a man claiming to have standards, and you’re able to convict him without proof.

Whatever Cruz has done or not done with these woman is one story. A bigger story is his deflection of the problem on to Trump.

He needs to quit blaming Trump. The gossip started the day Amanda announced her departure June 2015. And The Hill (not a tabloid) wrote her departure news. The comments that followed included speculation about an affair.

Note: Donald Trump was not a presidential candidate at that time.

And there are other articles dating back to August and December that describe the alleged affair fairly well, and they are published on line. Cruz is announced as the busted cheater last December.

And Breitbart developed the story in February, and sat on it due to Cruz’s major donor being the owner of that news source. And when one reporter calls with questions, the chatter typically increases. The Enquirer will drip this news out as long as they can and they have the resources to follow leads.

Trump did not create the problem, it’s Ted’s issue from 6/9/2015.

Reading comments on another site. One person from Austin said it was not a secret there. One was contacting NE Another person said he knew a
Person who was considering it. Money was good if you could verify rationship more than a “he said she said.” Pictures etc
Sounds more and more like last weeks news was a fishing exposition OTOH
NE could be running stories for some time.

I skimmed through the Cruz article the other day and saw they aren't concerned with my type of family values so moved on.

Before you dismiss them totally, however, they have published articles with details of that Israeli spy ring before 911 that shocked me. One incident was corroborated by the NYT. Google images has some startling diagrams and photos of the 91st floor of WTC1 occupied by some of the art students; much of that remains shrouded in mystery to this day.

They have done an expose with details of the Jeffrey Epstein case you probably won't find anywhere else. Gawker had a few more. I was more leery of the credibility of the latter than the former for bare facts.

On the right sidebar of one of the Epstein articles, perhaps only one, there are articles trashing Trump, but here is a teaser: We must smash the Clinton machine: Democratic Elites and Media have sold out to Hillary this time, but change is coming.

I think I'll read a little of that one; I suppose they are Sanders' supporters, but my point is sometimes there are truths and details in the left media that should be spotlighted in order to discern parts of bigger pictures.

There are a number of reasons Ted Cruz’s sex life matters. Aside from his platform, reports indicate that a Super PAC associated with the candidate’s campaign donated $500,000 to former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina last July.

>>>Coincidentally. That is a few weeks after her departure.

The business of news has changed radically in the past 20 years. We stopped subscribing to a newspaper in January of 2003, and we are far from alone. Not only are the big publications suspect in their agendas, but some that had previously been held in low regard have proven to be more reputable than those long-respected news sources.

It’s a new world.

In all honesty if you have not had improper relations with anybody you should be able to stand in front of a microphone and say so. If you cant’t say it then maybe you have a problem. Its just common sense.

At least you have a sense of humour.

We all do, and we should all use it more often. :)

Especially now.

This reminds me of the movie Barcelona. A character named Ted spreads a rumor that his cousin Fred, a very straightlaced and puritanical businessman, is actually a disciple of the Marquis de Sade:

He's not at all the way he seems. He might seem like a typical American, like a big unsophisticated child, but he's far more complex than that. Have you ever heard of the Marquis de Sade? Ted's a great admirer of de Sade. And a follower of Dr. Johnson. He's a complex - and in some ways dangerous - man. He has a serious romantic illusion problem. Women find him fascinating. His nickname is "Punta de Diamante" - point of a diamond. You see that odd expression on his face? Under the apparently very normal clothes he's wearing are these narrow leather straps drawn taut so that when he dances...

The joke is picking somebody who's totally square and boring and least likely to be debauched and spreading rumors that he's sexually wild or uncontrolled or perverse or degenerate or a tiger in the sack.

The other problem is people thinking Cruz’s ‘stuff’ isn’t going to be front & center once he derails Trump.

Cruz’s alleged affairs are worthy of inquiry for the same reason that it’s news when closeted Republicans like Larry Craig foot-tap for sex in an airport bathroom or Randy Boehning is caught on a gay hookup app

What else do you expect from a guy named "Randy Boehning"?
