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)

Was it Mona that was caught having a problem (pay dispute?) with an illegal alien maid a few years back?

And nor did Cruz. You may like to get more informed on the independence of super-PACs

You just keep telling yourself that, Mona -- maybe somebody will actually believe it instead of just pretending to.

Sen. Cruz cannot talk his way out of what he behaved his way into.

Trump has been several steps ahead of the professional politicians throughout this entire race.

The politicians write awful laws -- how many times has ObamaCare been adjusted because of a flaw? TPP? Pick a law: it's badly written.
The politicians can't spend money intelligently.
The politicians can't speak without a teleprompter.
The politicians can't actually debate effectively.
The politicians can't run a decent election campaign.

A real estate guy from NYC? He can do all of that and more. He's got real skills, because he lives in the real world.

There is something odd about all this.

What if a pro-Trump PAC used that picture of Cruz’s children, where they look unpleased with their Dad and put it next to the picture of Melania with Cruz’s kids looking happy, then put a caption “Even his own kids don’t like him. Vote Trump.”

I don’t think that Cruz’s kids don’t love their Dad, but pictures of family members can be used to portray a message that is used to influence people in a desired directions. That’s why family members of candidates should be off limits.

If Trump wanted to upgrade (or downgrade?) to a porn star-ish wife then it was his choice. Is he ashamed of it?

Note, especially that he did not post nudies of Heidi

She may not have any. Trump took three times to find his flesh of his flesh for life. Which makes him up on Rush Limbaugh and Mickey Rooney and Rod Stewert. Ted Cruz is with his first wife, and is one for one, batting 1.000.

I think it is to the honor of Dr. Carson and Gov. Walker that they have less than glamorous wives, but are very close and loving to them.

Is it true that Viagra just gave a $1 million contribution to a merger of the ¿Jeb? super-PAC and the Cruz super PAC?

It’s called “Ready to Rise...” :-P

No, I think that was Linda Chavez. Unless I’ve forgotten something which I quite possible!

Nasty anti-Trump article. But Mona’s always been an uptight little blue-nose.

And neither did Trump. Since when did expose and attack become synonyms? Her record is out there for those who want to read it. IT wasn’t a threat, but, you Cruzbots are too darned dumb to know the difference.
