Lacking Substance, Trump Resorts to Sleaze
The National Patriot ^ | March 26, 2016 | Craig Andresen

...with the presumptive front runner being heralded as Jeb Bush...the National Enquirer ran a hit piece aimed directly at Bush... ... ...last Fall, ...the National Enquirer ran a salacious story alleging that Carson, ... ... Then there was Carly Fiorina... whom the National Enquirer trashed at the expense of her deceased daughter... ... ...in Trump's world, he has replaced respect with fear. People don't respect Donald Trump, they fear his deep pockets and obtuse connections. ... Trump has run up against someone who doesn't respect or fear him...and the last of the outsiders...Ted Cruz. ... Enter David Pecker, the owner of the National Enquirer. Pecker and Trump have been buddies for many, many years. ... Pecker and the National Enquirer have been as in Trump's back pocket as possible throughout the campaign...running glowing pieces on him while attempting every salacious hit job they could on any candidate Trump saw as a challenger... Bush...Carson...Fiorina and now, Ted Cruz. ... The smear piece in question states, "Private detectives are digging into at least five affairs Ted Cruz supposedly had." Notice the disclaimer? "Digging into," means they don't have any evidence and "supposedly had," means it's all hearsay that wouldn't stand up in court if not an out and out lie... ... The object here is two-fold. First, to get Cruz to spend his time refuting these baseless allegations day and night rather than run a campaign based on substance and policy. Second, it keeps the press from asking Trump any questions that would require substance and policy in the answers. ... ...as we head into the final 20 primaries because Trump is scared into a state of rigid pucker and constipation, so much so that he will do anything to avoid facing questions regarding policy or substance, of which he has neither,

Awe cmon, the Cruz bots that helped elect Obama will sit out the election in November like they did last time. There is no convincing them.

What a hateful thing to say. I realize there is a recent pile on about Cruz (which I find embarrassing and troubling) but that is not an excuse to say things about someone you know little about.

Sure must be nice to have removed the beam from you eye.

This whole thing is getting ridiculous. I hate what’s happening now with Cruz and Trump and this damn GOPe setup that is going to tank both of them.

But stop lumping all Trump supporters under on banner.

The lacking substance of which you speak is this article.

“The simple fact of the matter is that Trump has no policies that make any coherent sense and no substance whatsoever and in what is now a two man race, against an opponent who has both cohesive policy plans and a barge-load of substance…Trump is desperate for any distraction he can find and I am sure Pecker knows that as well.

Cruz has called out Trump on this transparent smear campaign stating, “This National Enquirer story is garbage. It is complete and utter lies,” and accusing, “Donald Trump and his henchmen,” of feeding the pack of lies to the Enquirer.”

Trump has plenty of policies, so this first paragraph is a pant load.

Both Trump and Pecker have denied Trump’s involvement in the NE story. An unnamed person is the only source to say otherwise. So if Trump denies, he’s lying. If Cruz denies, it’s the voice of God.

Spare me.

Wow, Trump tweeted, on average 14 times per day the last month. How many post’s per day do you do on FR?

At least he’s engaged where people can interact with him.

“Cruz bots that helped elect Obama will sit out the election in November like they did last time”

I voted for the milquetoast weasel guys like you allowed to be the Republican nominee, just as I did the prior presidential election.

And your incessant attacks on conservatives will result in the same weak nomination.

But perhaps that is the agenda of rape and abortion lovers like yourselves. Does Planned Parenthood pay you by the post?

Your feces-stained pants also smell of urine.

Oh, I didn’t think of that. How persuasive.

When you think date rape is a funny subject, I celebrate being called an idiot by you.

I wear it as a badge of honor.

You are, and remain, incorrect.

I have heard his son interviewed live on the radio by Sean Hannity, twice.

The sound in his voice is not that of someone raised by a man such as you describe.

Megyn herself looks moonstruck over Trump -- after he completely PWNED her over the calling Rosie O'Donnell names flap, she went on an unscheduled vacation and came back with a completely different, distinctly less feminine hair style, and a *lot* of anger in her eyes.

in the preliminaries before one of the later debates, he complimented her looks, and she all but flushed and cast her eyes down, murmuring something -- another female FReeper said that it was "Be still my heart."

Yeah, maybe, they seem to be hung up on what the meaning of Conservative is. Like the conservative movement is not a giant scam to Hoover money from the naive for the last 30 years.

I admit, I was one of them to start and sent money, only to get on a mailing list wanting more. But nary a battle was ever won. So Conservatism now is just like the Democrat label, something to hide behind so you do not have to think. I'm done.
