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)

We must now ask the question that was directed at Sen. McCarthy: “Sir, don’t you have any decency left in you”?

You are ragging Sen. McCarthy... too..... hello, your primary colors are showing... (name of a book) Time for a truth has arrive and the deceivers creep off into darkness pointing accusing fingers into the sun light.

Trumps wife is hot. If elected, they should do a postage stamp series with her pics on it.

LIE. You have to Pay to use a photo in an add. GQ says Jeff Roe, Cruz’s campaign manager, paid for those rights.

Thanks, Guitarist.

We have some pathetic Trumpkins here who want to live in the comfort zone of their own echo chamber and are showing their true colors of vulgarity. They will stoop to nothing to defend the vile antics of their Dear Leader even while some 70% of the electorate are disgusted with his candidacy. All this by a candidate who continuously lived by the polls.

Go Cruze, go.

Just remember - McCarthy was right, his detractors were trying deflect. (The lawyer in question did have ties to the Communist linked National Lawyer’s Guild).

Poor Mona, she used to be respected but she has spiraled down in recent years. She should get the facts but then again she hates Trump and looks to be very pro Cruz.

You want to see Kasich become *really* animated?

“Small ad?”

That right there shows bias with Mona. That was no small detail. I bet it was done to lure Donald into making a big mistake.

When did Mandy change her hair color.? She should have gone Me-again Kelly style if her attempt was to appear different than her outing photo.

I noticed that, too. Odd that she doesn’t seem to understand the legal meaning of ‘public domain’.

Ted Cruz is with his first wife, and is one for one, batting 1.000.

Just like Bill Clinton. Are you sure you really want to hold up Clinton and Cruz against Trump and Gingrich here?

Ted Cruz says “Donald Trump may be a rat but I have no desire to copulate with him” and you are talking about decency?

I still don’t understand that statement at all. I guess it went under my head.

You are just a lying dog, even confronted with truth, you just lie.

Heidi does not need defending. I haven’t seen anything about her per se.

I am sure she is pissed about Teddy.
