Defend Heidi Cruz
by MONA CHAREN March 26, 2016
Is Trump the political genius that some have been hinting? Who else, without staff or experience, could rocket to the top of the polls and remain in that perch month after month despite everything? Maybe it’s genius, or maybe its shamelessness. The latter can be mistaken for the former. This week’s new slog in the mud demonstrates one of Trump’s techniques to perfection — he flings filth at an opponent and then invites the docile press to conclude that “both sides” are engaged in unseemly brawling. (This is usually John Kasich’s moment to shake his head sadly and remind voters that, golly gee, he would never do such things.)
The “wife spat” began, as these things always do, with a Trump shiv. An independent PAC, Make America Awesome, published practically nude pictures — fully available in the public domain — of Melania Trump from a GQ photo shoot from the early 2000s, and invited viewers to consider whether someone who posed for such pictures would make an appropriate first lady. Trump then grabbed this small ad as excuse to hurl accusations at one of his opponents (wonder why he didn’t accuse Kasich?), tweeting that he believed Cruz to be responsible for the ad and threatening to “spill the beans” about Heidi Cruz if Cruz weren’t “careful.”
Cruz had nothing to do the the Make America Awesome ad. But before getting to the rest of the imbroglio, and at the risk of seeming utterly Victorian in this sorry time, it seems to me that Melania’s history as a nude model is not completely out of bounds as an election issue for voters. In an era when Paris Hilton becomes a household name for being featured in a sex tape,..... (READ ON)

Why does somebody who poses sans clothes for a living need somebody to defend that somebody when the picture is published? I mean, you understand how ridiculous your statement is right? She is a beautiful woman willing to share her beauty. What’s to defend?
“those pictures of Melania taking such wonderful care of Heidi’s daughters at a debate when Heidi had somewhere else she had to be.”
Did you know Melania and Donald never use babysitters? Heidi pays a woman to live in and do the mom stuff.
I don’t want to live in Trumpico. We all have our problems.
You need a break. Go fishing or something.
Did you know Cruz never had a butler? I don’t know what that proves but just had the urge to ask.
You know exactly why. If a man walks into your office and sees a pic of your wife in a bikini from that last vacation and says “wow, she looks like she’s having a fantastic day, where was that beach? That’s one thing.
If he comes in and sees the same photo and says “doesn’t it bother you that she has no morals” That’s another.
Cruz is a damned idiot who attacked that wonderful woman Melania. The ad was clearly designed to treat her in a degrading manner. (ie,, the way Cruz treats his family)
The purpose of the NE is to sell their tabloid. It could be all rumor or they could have something and are stretching it out to sell more copies. We’ll see. You will note I said IF it turns out to be even PARTIALLY true. Cruz does not have to have affairs with 8 women to make his holiest guy in the room act look hypocritical, that would only take one.
Heidi Cruz neglects her kids 80 hours a week so she can erase the border with Mexico and direct GS graft to the government. She pays a woman to do live in and do her most important job.
Melania puts her kids first, 100%.
That’s what it means sport.
Yeah. What was particularly poignant is when she is see. gently stroking the girls’ hair and nuzzling them as her husband repeatedly belts out “Lyin’ Ted” throughout the debate.
Trump has won about 40% of the primary vote so far. That's about 3.2 million people.
Do you mean to tell me that all, or a large share of those 3.2 million people would have stayed home if Trump wasn't on the ballot?
I've seen numerous Trump supporters say that Cruz was their second choice. So it's a good bet that they would have voted for Cruz.
I've not seen one Trump supporter say that they would have voted for Bush.
So I think a reasonable conclusion is that if Trump wasn't in the race, then Cruz would have been easily winning and that Bush would have been where he is now, which is nowhere!
Took no time at all to collect the list. Things are so bad, just the normal course of Freeping did the trick.
Heck, I see Steelfish is using “Trumpkins” regularly.
I offered him the list to add some variety to his offensives posts, but he’s proven he’s just a one trick pony. Same goes for the content of this posts.
You're perhaps unaware that the formal rules and language of classical logic have now been replaced by Trumpistic logic. The latter builds upon the foundational postulate that Mr. Trump can do no wrong. All else follows from this fundamental and unchallengeable truth.
Why, he loved and respected her less because he had been in a relationship with her longer? The number of people licking their lips salaciously and then sanctimoniously damning Mrs Trump for her modeling career sickens me.
If you google for he pictures as I did for this comment she has the normal pictures for a model, some revealing and suggestive, more images are very classy in high-end evening wear. Sex sells in advertising, just google that phrase. So if you are a model you are going to have some pics that are revealing or suggestive or you are not going to work. Have you looked at the getup of the glitterati, stomach churning.
The point is those ladies don’t dress like that for the supermarket or to pick up the kids. They dress like that for their big events when it is the norm. To take a picture like Melania’s rug one and pretend it says anything about who she is other than lovely and a professional fashion model who supported herself for many years is absurd.
This picture was taken out context and used to sell the idea that Melania Trump represents unrestrained sex and the ad was run in a very socially conservative area where that image would have the most effect.
“Did you know Cruz never had a butler? “
Well he never had $10 billion either. That’s how you get a Butler and a 737 Boeing Jet. :-)
Cruz is my second choice. Doesn’t change the fact that he will be eviscerated by the establishment/media complex.
Trump is the only one who can beat them at their own game.
“as her husband repeatedly belts out “Lyin’ Ted” throughout the debate.
Now we see that the “lying Ted” line was Trump referring to Cruz’ rampant infidelity. He was probably certain Cruz would eventually implode. Knowing what was coming soon, that explains why there was no Trump move to ally with Cruz.
But whatever, Melania was just being a kind mother to a little girl. She’s clearly a wonderful woman. Look at the photo and if you see anything besides maternal tenderness, the problem is you.
You use third grader terms like ‘trumpkin’ and talk about IQs?
Don’t know what makes you so stupid but it really works.
Looks like you missed Trumper and Trumpee.
But if those terms don’t qualify, you might wanna add Trumpkinist, Trumparian and Trumptician.
No one, including prim and proper Mona, can possibly make that statement. No one other than Ted knows, or can know for certain whether Ted had anything to do with it.
Such a self-serving, BS statement discredits her entire spiel.
