That National Enquirer Ted Cruz "bombshell" confirmed a huge nothingburger
Twitter ^ | 2/24/2016 | Some guy who took a picture

Posted on 03/24/2016 3:53:37 PM PDT by 20yearsofinternet

Link goes directly to picture of the article that's good enough to read.

FULL Disclosure: I'm not a Cruz supporter, but I hate this kind of sleaze and I'm hoping that we can put this to rest before it gets submitted 500 times.

The entire article is based off of the threat from a hoax "Anonymous" account on Twitter, which later turned out to be a RickRoll (all related tweets have since been deleted). I am pretty sure the "details" are actually lifted from replies to the original tweet, LOL. Since they're deleted, I can't be sure. Point being, it was all a hoax and there's nothing there at all, and that's what the article is based off of.

Anyway, just wanted to put it out there that it's typical NE trash, not one of their once-per-decade real bombshells.

Carry on with the War of the Wives. :)

He certainly joined them swiftly didn’t he? Guess this may decrease their control on him if true but will hurt him in primaries as they won’t need to fund or back him.

If one of the women is Pierson then Cruz had to know this story was a ticking time bomb. Also explains why Carpenter is so combative when it comes to Cruz.

Pierson is only 6 years younger
Carpenter would have turned 18 in 2000, so that would be a stretch
Hadn’t heard about a timeline or who else had been I.d.’ed.

The only other person sitting so close to other men on a couch would be Obama. Ted looked more feminine when he was younger.

Probably the GOPe way to say...well we gave Ted a shot....so now we have to go with Kasich. Ugh.


Who has the Kasich threesomes with Condit stories ready to go after this? We will all need Pepto Bismol before we get to the general.

That is downright false. CNN did not publish that.

The establishment endorses NOBODY that they can’t control through blackmail or coercion. Just sayin’.


And you would be right.

I ain’t your grandpa, little one, and this ain’t my first rodeo.

I didn’t say it was true, I didn’t say it was false.

NE does put out “true” statements like I have described, that mean nothing and go nowhere. They do it so people will buy their yellow journalism, and every now and then, even a blind squirrel will find a nut.

According to NE everyone in the spotlight has had an “affair”.
Sometimes it is true, usually, it is not.

If you open the image, right click an select open image, then you can zoom in. I think this is the opening sally lots of innuendo not much concrete yet but I think its coming.

I didn't say that they did. My post explicitly says that it is comprised of replies tp the Treehouse article. Any truth or falsehood is theirs, not mine.

Note that the other post is *obviously* satirical; and the name "Bridget the Midget" sounds made-up...

Is that a joke or did CNN confirm Bridget the Midget? I don’t know if that is for real but I doubt it...

So why post such garbage? You have been suspended before for crap like this.

I doubt whether there are many publications that have been sued as often as the National Enquirer. The specifics in the article would open them up for huge liabilities.

The Enquirer’s initial John Edwards story was published at the end of 2007. It wasn’t until July 2008 that the main stream media finally jumped on it. Edwards didn’t admit until January of 2010 that the baby was actually his. When it is a Democrat it takes a long time for these things to actually be accepted even when they are true. For Cruz, a conservative Republican corroborating details will probably surface much more quickly.

There have been rumors of something along these lines for months. I doubt whether it has anything to do with Trump’s wife’s modeling past being used pro Cruz operatives in Utah, but Trump’s opponents do seem to be hit hard after they draw first blood.
