Ted Cruz dodges question about whether he's 'always been faithful' to his wife ...

Ted Cruz dodges question about whether he's 'always been faithful' to his wife as endorser Carly Fiorina leaps in to insist a declaration that he's not an adulterer is a 'dance to Donald trump's tune'

Texas senator could put National Enquirer scandal to rest with a simple statement that he has never strayed in his 14-year marriage

Instead he has batted down the supermarket tabloid's speculative story about five alleged affairs in a more limited fashion

Carly Fiorina leaped in to intercept DailyMail.com's request for a blanket statement of marital fidelity and Cruz ultimately punted on the question

Fiorina pleaded for a return to discussing issues, but lobbed her own accusation at 'serial adulterer' Donald Trump

Cruz also challenged Trump to a one-on-one debate in Wisconsin on Tuesday night: 'Why don't you show up and debate like a man?'

Ted Cruz declined to answer a question on Monday about whether he has ever been unfaithful to his wife Heidi.

'Senator Cruz,' DailyMail.com asked him, 'can you please swat down more definitively this National Enquirer piece by telling us on the record that you've never been unfaithful to your wife?'

The National Enquirer published a story last Wednesday that speculated about five women with whom the Republican presidential candidate was rumored to have had extramarital affairs.

Cruz has batted down the specifics of the story on numerous occasions since it appeared in supermarket checkout lanes.

But instead of making a blanket declaration that he has been faithful during the entirety of his 14-year marriage – a move that would effectively end the vicious news cycle – Cruz stood silently as campaign surrogate Carly Fiorina leapt in to intercept the question and change the subject.

Again, where’s this bragging?

And do you have evidence that it’s still true today?

There are a LOT of things that I bragged about ten years ago that I’m mortified about today, and if this bragging is what I’m thinking that you’re talking about, that was 30 years ago.

If he’s faithful to Melania, I’m willing to give Trump the benefit of the doubt in this case.

You want to talk about asking forgiveness? I read the while interview, and while I’d probably demand clarification if he was going to want to take Communion in my church, it’s still about the same as the thoughts of most American popular religion, except for the fact that he’s got the theology of Holy Communion pretty much down and says that he gets forgiveness that way.

So good for him there. You know, just as an aside.

Trump does not thump the bible every day during his speeches. Whereas Cruz begins every victory speech with “glory be to God” & thumps the bible. It is the hypocrisy that matters.

I wonder how Heidi feels about Carly coming to his aid as she {Carly} once had an affair with her now husband?...

I forgot about that. No wonder Carly is OK with Ted. She’s a homewrecker at both ends. Carly cheated on her first husband with her current husband, who was married at the time.

If he came out and said he had never cheated, I would believe him until proven otherwise. But, that is me.

Hmm. If Cruz is begging for a debate on Tuesday night before the election, is own polling must show him down in Wisconsin.

Yes. Where have all the journalists gone? That was the question I would like to have answered.

I just care about the hypocrisy.

Exactly. What could be more hypocritical than a media that pushes abortion, homosexuality, and epicurean ideals (as if they are the "pursuit of happiness") somehow and suddenly taking an interest in a candidate's cleanliness in terms of sexual matters. Stay away from those who aspire to public office while boasting in deviant behavior. Encourage those who know what deviance is yet try to stay away from it.

There is no possible way that Cruz could win the general election. Not even worth talking about. Period!

Fiorina may be in trouble about the $500,000 given to her SuperPAC from the Cruz SuperPAC. The Liz Mair superPAC that put out the Mealania “Support Trump banner ad has the same address as Carly’s and has the same treasurer.


This has been explained hundreds of times......17 packs this year and fifty something last year used these same people to keep track of regulations....this is nothing

Same here. It was a simple straight forward question and he couldn’t and wouldn’t answer it and only deflected. Not good.

His practised answer stuck to the more limited denial that the National Enquirer story was false, calling it ‘complete garbage.’

His victim shtick is "complete garbage". He's a lying creep.

If I were Heidi and this homewrecker was coming to my husband’s defense, I would be less than thrilled.

Innuendo not really fair to Carly. I do not like her, but she has done nothing to suggest she is anything other than faithful in her marriage.

I will have to write in Trump. I used to be a Cruz supporter but can’t stand to hear his voice now. What would I do for the next 8 years?
Maybe I’m being selfish but I think Cruz wants this too bad, too early. He could have waited and tried to accomplish something great in the senate first, but has accepted what his father has bestowed on him. He’s supposedly the anointed one.

I know you’re being sarcastic (per your tagline), but the sad truth is the DailyMail has asked questions and reported on stories that the US media buries.

I realize that, but I want to know how their questions are being asked. If they are being asked in a column they shouldn't expect a response. If it is a person asking a question in an interview directly, that is a different story.
