The National Enqirer Long in the Tank for Trump
The Briefing Room ^ | March 25, 2016 | A.B. Raxas

Posted on 03/25/2016 6:58:59 AM PDT by mystery-ak

In perfect tabloid fashion one can expect this time in a contentious election cycle (remember Herman Cain), supermarket tabloid The National Enquirer decided to fabricate a sex scandal about Ted Cruz that could be the plot for a sequel to Eyes Wide Shut if it weren't so unbelievable.

The National Enquirer peddles the type of tabloid trash Trump revels in. Trump has turned the GOP primary into a circus of insults, bullying, belittling, endless lies, etc.

I’m guessing if this story dies off quickly and/or gets almost no play, Trump will find a way to retweet it to generate some interest in it.

Might be a bit tough since one of the women already categorically denied it and one of the others appears to be his press spokesperson (who will almost certainly also deny it).

I have a theory that Pierson is Trump’s ace in the hole. She is the basis (in my theory) of the cryptic tweet from Diamond and Silk re Cruz’ need to beware of “Lollipop.”

Did Trump send the initial post telling people to vote for Cruz while showing a semi naked picture of his wife? Since you think he started all of this, I guess you think he did. I suppose you also think that Trump sent these women to Cruz’s place for the trysts too?

Breitbart hasn’t posted any reference to this. Interesting. Shapiro is going to get caught up in this if they chose to spike this story too.

Please list, specifically, who is corroborating the story. Specific names and how they are corroborating it.

Not some guy saying “oh yeah, that was the dirt we once heard about”. Specific, detailed corroboration with names who have gone on the record corroboration the actual story (again, THE actual story, not just that such a story exists).

Stop putting words in my mouth ... I didn't even put the words in your hand. You wrote yourself. Do you not understand the analogy you used, that both the pot and kettle are black ?

Pot meet kettle. Kettle meet pot.
Who’s had more adulterous affairs than Donald Trump?

Cheap gossip may not go away; that does not mean it should be on the front burner.

And as a tactic, LBJ demonstrated on several occasions, that ignoring a scandal did work to take it out of a campaign. (No traditional gentleman, for that matter, ever comments on a sexual involvement with any woman. You protect the woman, by refusing to engage in such a discussion.

Typical Cruzer response here: Put index fingers in ears, close eyes, and repeatedly scream “Ted didn’t do it, this is a Trump conspiracy”.

“he also had to work with unions and companies known to be controlled by New York’s ruling mafia families, which had infiltrated the construction industry”

I did read it.

Now tell me where Donald was actually a Don.

No where? Well ok then.

He’s a developer and NYC and State is responsible for cleaning these families out of these industries if they can bring a case against them. If they can’t, then he has to deal with them...like every other developer in NYC.

But Cruz wasn’t forced to pork 5 women, so there is a difference. Sorry.

LBJ lived pre Twitter. The far and away biggest story in social media—despite the MSM ignoring it—will not simply fade away.

I was simply commenting on your hypocrisy in accepting as truth the accusation, which has been denied by at least one of the named women, while at the same time demanding proof that it is a fabricated story. I never gave an opinion as to whether or not it is true.

If it is true, it will become obvious in due course. You don’t want to take a chance, so you are pushing it now so the doubt will be planted whether it turns out to be true or not.

Calling me stupid is about what I would expect from you, based on your posting history on FR, but it doesn’t answer my question about your credibility, or lack of same outside the circle of rabid Trump supporters.

It appears the only way we can get this past censorship is to post links to the various sources on this story in every single anti Trump thread.

I see no other way at this point :-(

If the posts are pulled as well as the threads then we will know what we are up against.

Post a self-written description and a link...that is all.
No text from the actual article and no direct link to the NE article...use the CT, Salon or other of the many links.

Drudge has a link of his Facebook I believe someone said..that would be good.
