I’m stealing that line
A summary by purpleibby at Breitbart why Trump had nothing to do with the National Enquirer story on Cruz:
“Just how does Trump have anything to do with this? It’s confirmed that this story has been brewing for months. It’s been confirmed Rubio’s people sat on it. Breitbart sat on it. Trump is not to blame. Good lord. At least Trump is trying to win fair and square!
“Trump doesn’t have anything to do with it! Good lord Cruz blames Trump for everything...Brussels, soros paid thugs, now this...get off it!”
“Yes I have no problem with Trump’s tweet after that despicable act...but Trump had nothing to do with this NE story.”
From snapperman at Breitbart:
“Trump didn’t drop the info about Cruz—it came from Rick Wilson-one of those “high information” consultant Bushies who detests Trump...He was
shopping the info around for quite a while and it came from the Rubio campaign.”
“Rubio people had “the thing” since January and were putting it out there. No one jumped—although it seems NE heard about it and started investigating...”
“The NE doesn’t run with baseless stories—too much financial risk.”
From Infidel Knight at Breitbart:
“I imagine Drudge will run with the proof that Trump did NOT do this. That will kill Cruz here (Wisconsin). He blamed Trump for the protests. Brussels, you name it. His false pointing of blame will haunt him and it will make many wonder. If he lied about this aspect of the story, what other aspects is he lying about?”
“Ted’s behavioral issues was a known fact/rumor back in his Senate run. This just didn’t happen yesterday.”
“What do you think “the thing” Rubio’s folks knew and were pushing about for 2 years was? Again, you don’t do 5 women in 2 weeks. These were NOT 1 night stands.”
Otter:
“So as we learned last night, the media knew about the Cruz sex scandal, but no outlet was willing to get sued for defamation...”
J Herman:
“Rubio’s gang intended to sink Cruz with the story...until he dropped out. They then realized that Cruz was the only thing standing between Trump and 1237 so they didn’t publish the story.”
Dean Fitzgerald:
“...what possible reason could a married man have for meeting a woman at a DC hotel on regular Tuesdays and Thursdays?”
Mikhail Hantman:
“The real story is NOT the claim Ted had frequent visits to prostitutes, its his use of Christianity to cover his tracks. This is the most devious of behaviors...”
gman:
“Anonymous launched #OpCruz a few weeks ago promising to release information on his visits with many, many prostitutes. Much of the high end escorting is done online. Those hackers are pretty skilled and if Cruz ever even once hired a girl I’m sure the could track it down.”
Joe Fine:
“Jeff Roe, who works for Cruz campaign ordered the picture used in the ad from GQ. GQ Magazine has already confirmed this.”
Human Metaverse:
Trump needs to distance himself from the Cruz trainwreck. Let it crash and burn on its own.”
Chris Houston:
“Hillary wanted to run against Cruz; now we know why...”
