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. :)

Your whole post made me laugh. Clever!

But this, especially:

“the Congressman from Georgia was a fake...(but accurate!)”

That’s actually accurate, b/c that account hits it exactly right.

-- They laughed. "Oh. It's his initials. Charles L. Anderson!" --

Great story! Pretty funny. The police would not be quite as understanding of a person wearing a jacket with POLlCE on it (double "L" there, second one in lowercase).

Hmmmm...Breitbart site appears to be down. Coincidence?

Yes as #CruzSexScandal broke the internet.

and by the way, to clarify, I would not prefer Ted or his family to go down like this.

I truly do want Trump to be our next president, I don’t think Ted is qualified by birth. Over the last few months, I’ve come to think he’s a slimeball, but unlike some sanctimonious religious nuts, I don’t think his family deserves this. I don’t believe in fire and brimstone, and I don’t think they should pay the price for his being a dumbass and his inability to keep his wang in his pants. Humans make mistakes. We all do. I’ve made three lifetimes worth of them.

Further, I feel horrible for all the folks that are emotionally vested in him. I’m old enough to know to not get vested in ANY politician or public figure. But it hurts when someone you love lets you down. I understand that.

But, I’m an old dude. I should have retired 10 years ago, but life throws curve balls at families sometimes. The last time I voted was for Perot.

I don’t really even in my heart think Trump will make it to become president. This is why I am not emotionally vested in him. Not because of delegates or because he’s going to quit, I think the power brokers are not going to let anything get in their way of stopping him. I mean ANYTHING. I think they mean to make him *disappear*.

By voting Trump, and even in my primary, I put my livilyhood on the line this year. My job depends on me either not voting or voting D. Period. I took an R primary ballot this year, and that puts me on an R voting roll. That is going to hurt me this year, I know.

So, if Trump is NOT the nominee, well, it is what it is, I won’t bother to vote, I will make damned sure that I am at a union hall that day in plain site of folks who will say “he didn’t vote that day, he was here all day with us shootin the breeze”, and I can claim I took a R ballot by mistake (after all, I’m old and haven’t voted since Perot).

Not any more.
When the entire GOPe tries to take out Trump and they all rally and endorse a known adulterer, they need to throw Cruz out and give it to Trump to keep Congress.

This hits independents, women, evangelicals, Hillary, Romney, Bush Dynasty, Breitbart, etc., etc.

I would not be surprised if there is a rallying around Trump this week-end.

You know you gotta hand it to Trump. I more in likely knew the story was coming out...so he waits for the perfect opportunity.

1) Cruz supporters bait Trump with Melania pic
2) Looks like Trump takes bait and threatens to spill the beans
3) Trump retweets a photo with no comment
4) Cruz gets all high and mighty and takes moral high ground...
5) The BOOM is lowered
6) Everyone forgets Trumps retweet and now focuses on the flailing Ted Cruz...He’s catching fire all right....

The power brokers would rather see Hillary win, and that was the plan from the get go.

It doesn’t matter how much rallying there is, it doesn’t matter if Cruz fell off a cliff, they will do whatever it takes to ensure that a Clinton or uni-party stooge wins this election.

I don’t know, I’m too jaded to see it any differently.

Trump can win, but I am just not going to bank on it. I hope it happens, I really do, but I have little faith in our government to be fair and honest.

Dream on. It has to be alleged unless they were invited to view the act. We see video of people killing someone and the press say alleged killer.

Even with the wording if false Cruz will would have grounds to sue for the negative effect on his character.

The power brokers are in this scandal up to their necks. All the establishment pukes helped the Rubio campaign build this story, then when he dropped out, they quickly fled to support Cruz. Too late; the story takes on a life of its own. Fox News has no more credibility. Romney has no more credibility. None of the establishment pukes have any credibility. No potential candidate put forth by the establishment will have any credibility.

Nobody pays attention to the GOPe funded push poll swarm. We know they are garbage. The Timing and sources are right after the big meeting with the media heads, pollsters and GOPe leadership people.

Just like all the new/dormant accounts on social media sites getting all activated about the same time with the same talking points and style of argument.

Does this mean Ben is that highly partisan, or something else?
