Washington Times columnist fired after confirming 2 of the now 8 Cruz mistresses [should be 5]
Examiner.com ^ | March 26, 2016 | Lori Stacey

After the Washington Times quickly disassociated from him "for saying a scandal may be true", Johnson seemed to still be a class act. He tweeted that he respected them and had enjoyed working with them. He did not understand though why they would do this via Twitter instead of a phone call or even an email.

However, now there are attempts to smear and discredit him, claiming they have not had a relationship with him in over a year which he soon replied to providing proof of being paid just last month.

Dirt has a mind of its own and turns up anytime and anywhere. The Enquirer and like-minded news sources are in business to make money. They don’t take their marching orders from political parties or strategists. While they might be convinced to suppress a story for a short time, they want to scoop it first and reap the big bucks.

I don't think the Enquirer was in on it. I think releasing the story now screws up the GOPe's plan to use Cruz to keep Trump under a majority of delegates.

The affair angle would only be needed if there was a Cruz surge at the convention. That is, if Hell froze over.

“...after the shots on his wife Trump decided to drop the bomb.”

Trump? He didn’t have anything to do with this story coming out, though desperate Cruzers continually insist that it simply must be the case.

Well said. Exactly! What a joke. This charade of an primary election. The race is such a lopsided win for Trump that it’s ludicrous to suggest otherwise.

Team Cruz is efficient in inching out teeny weenie victories in a few caucus states known for their odd and malleable vote counting methods.
Cruz won:
Virgin Islands by 30 votes
Wyoming by 480 votes
Alaska by 600 votes
Maine by 2,500.

Here are the rounded total votes Cruz won in his nine winning states.

Wyoming 620
Virgin Isl 200
Alaska 8,400
Maine 8,500
Kansas 35,000
Iowa 52,000
Utah 122,00
Okie 158,000
He won eight states totaling 385,000 votes.
If it wasn’t for Texas, he’d have a pile of beans.

Ted’s lackluster Texas win, Texas 1,239,393.
Cruz’s winning votes in nine states are 1,724,000.
Cruz won 9 states with 1,724,000 votes

Trump won 21 states, and nearly all the states were won by tens or hundreds of thousands of votes. The millions that have attended his rallies have voted.
Marianas (343 people)
Hawaii 6K
Vermont 20K
Nevada 35K
Kentucky 83K
N. H. 101K
Louisiana 125K
Arkansas 133K
Mississipi 191K
South Car 241K
Arizona 250K
Mass. 311K
Tenn. 333K
Virginia 356K
AlaBama. 372K
Missouri 382K
N. Carol 458K
Michig. 483K
Georgia 503K
Illinois 557K
FLorida 1,079,741

Trump won 21 states with 6,020,000 votes

Cruz’s only way to prevail now is by chicanery and fraud, but then that’s just how he began this campaign.

Yes, It certainly does mess up their plan.

Should it be posted and linked to the election results pages as a vanity.

I really sense that most here don’t get how his appeal is so limited his 8 wins are representative of Podunk + Home state.

Love the way you used the actual state by state vote totals to show the true picture of the Cruz and Trump campaigns. There is simply no arguing with those numbers.

The paid and Kool-Aid Cruz contingent on this website would have us believe that Cruz has an actual chance at the nomination because he can still win this the old fashioned way, when nothing could be further from the truth. His weakness as a candidate has been apparent since at least South Carolina, where he didn’t win a single county.

It almost makes me angry that we’ve been forced to endure the awful cacophony of his true believers tthese many long months, with such indisputable evidence staring them in the face.

Absolutely. That post truly deserves to be a stand-alone thread.

On Twitter he posted his check stub with a very recent date and mentioned he is still getting paid by Wa Times. Plus he said they never called him to sever the relationship.
I hope he gets an attorney to straighten it all out.

Amanda Carpenter has now DELETED ALL of her tweets prior to March 1 of this year.

A couple days ago, she had tweets on her Twitter page going back to at least 2014, and I personally saw the tattoo tweets on April 1, 2014.

Wichita has about the same population as his 8 wins. Ha Ha

“Ted wins the city of Wichita and Texas!”

Tomorrow, perhaps, I will.

Not up to incoming onslaught of bashing on Easter.

So, Frank Luntz doing all-nighter focus grouping to find what excuse, errr, reason, works, errr, explains to the tools, the message the highly intelligent Crooze was sending. Once the scheme is manufactured expect el Rushbo, to spend the day getting the word out. However, until that clever messaging gets sorted out don’t expect to hear a peep from the Talkmeister.

On the other hand, anyone believe Rush maintains radio silence if Trump had stated, “Let me be very clear, Ted Cruz is a rat, and I have no desire to copulate with a rat”?

Bizare to Trump supporters. Understandable for Croozer/CoC/K Street/GOPee tools.

Ok, I’m in and out of here on an infrequent basis so maybe i missed something.

Re the GOPe using Cruz to block Trump, and Cruz thinking he’ll be chosen on a second ballot:

Forgetting the sex scandal for a moment.. Backtrack to before this scandal broke open, for the sake of asking my question...

How do we know that Cruz hasn’t been part of a well-planned GOPe plan (with a willing & compliant Cruz) to use Cruz as one of the many “splitters?” His assigned task would have originally been to gather the bothersome tea party vote while Bush or another GOPe candidate collected all the other delegates.

The following scenario would be based on these assumptions:
+ Cruz has an issue with impulse control & therefore is controllable.
+ Cruz had that private meeting in Oct ‘13 with GOPe’s McConnell, Boehner, et al to make a deal. He was becoming a nuisance to the GOPe, and for Cruz, he now saw how impossible it was to swim upstream against such a strong current.
+ Fact: Cruz became an officer in the Senate Conservatives group that sent $$ to MS so Thad Cochran could run “UraRacist” ads against tea party Chris McDaniel. Cruz also stayed out of that race, refusing to endorse McDaniel, his supposed tea party fellow ideologue.
+ Cruz used every available opportunity to strengthen his bonafides as “the true Constitutional conservative.” (e.g., govt. shutdown, shouting “liar” to GOPe on the Senate floor, etc.)

Back to the proposed plan:

As an incentive to Cruz to run against Jeb and hopefully lose, he and his GOPe controllers would have agreed among themselves: 1) he would be a contender for a VP spot with Jeb, and 2) if Cruz were to “take off” and reach the 1237 delegates, then he would be allowed to be the nominee. The GOPe would be secure in the knowledge that Cruz was “one of us.” And besides, they knew he had a sex problem, just in case he ever tried to leave the farm.

July, 2015: Trump entered the race and “stole” all of Cruz’s southern states, upsetting their original plan and causing multiple changes in strategy.

Cruz stayed low for the first few months and stayed friendly with Trump. He waited his turn while the other RINOs (some of whom have now endorsed Cruz) tried various methods of knocking out Trump: Rick Perry, Lindsey Graham, Rand Paul, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and the guy from LA whose name i never remember).

The Plan has changed multiple times, no doubt, but as of last week before the sex story appeared:

- On the 1st weekend in March at a Sea Island, GA resort, the GOPe used a conference as an opportunity to hold a major anti-Trump “Oh-Sh*t!-Pow-Wow” meeting. Allegedly, Jeb Bush was then assigned the task of meeting with Kasich, Rubio, and Cruz to give out marching orders.

- Rubio was knocked out by losing Florida. His team tried to get the Cruz sex scandal released the day before, to no avail. The GOPe had decided to go with Cruz.

- Kasich was kept in as a splitter after winning Ohio.

- The media was still cooperating by sitting on the sex story (likely a mutual agreement to hold it for after the convention).

- Cruz was being endorsed by GOPe; he invited the Bush clan to come aboard; and he and the GOPe were gaining a little momentum in blocking Trump from the magic 1237.

- Cruz was no longer just a splitter/potential nominee — he was now the only one who could beat Trump (along with Katich’s help). Jeb was out, Rubio was out, so Cruz was the GOPe’s best bet going forward.

And then? Bam. Everything changed last Friday with the sex scandal. What had changed? Well, Cruz lost AZ badly, and despite winning UT, the best the GOPe could hope for would be a block, not an outright win. Reality set in. So what happened? I can think of at least 2 scenarios:

= Scenario 1: The GOPe was NOT behind the sex story’s release. They are now frantically trying to figure out a Plan #4,249 because all of their previous plans have failed miserably.

= Option 2: The GOPe decided after Cruz lost AZ so miserably that he was now a liability and was about to crash anyway; the sex story was heating up. They knew someone like the NE would eventually publish it so they decided to do a “Two-fer:” Take out Trump AND Cruz at one time. The GOPe used the imminent release of the NE’s story to run the Melania ad in Utah, knowing this would incite an impulsive (and hopefully inappropriate) reaction from Trump. This would start a Twitter war and could easily be fueled by the GOPe’s media surrogates, which would turn Cruzbots & Trumpbots against each other in droves. And THAT would make it much easier to send Ryan & Co. waltzing into the July convention without much opposition. Cruz would be gone, and Trump would be blamed for his demise. (I personally have many Cruzbot friends who are now livid at Trump & refuse to support him, convinced he’s behind all the sex scandal stories).

Thoughts, anyone? It’s just a theory.

“Tomorrow, perhaps, I will.”

Please do. The numbers you compiled are irrefutable evidence of the relative strengths and weaknesses between the Cruz and Trump campaigns.

Posting it as a stand-alone thread will put that evidence before the whole community and help to end the internal warfare here.

Others have tried, but yours is the clearest, most impactful presentation of the data I’ve seen.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I like data and statistics because they are absent bias.

Maybe someone good with graphics would display a representative picture, too.

Well, snap. I forgot to weave Anonymous & their warning video into a scenario #3. They factor in there somewhere.
