An older article, but relevant in light of recent developments. Much more at the link.

CRUZ GOOD! TRUMP BAD! CRUZ GOOD! TRUMP BAD!

Pbbth.

It went on to quote angry former patients saying he botched surgeries that left them disfigured and in pain;

Reminds me about how many MSM folks talk about Trump U.

[major-pelham]

I’ll bite. Trump is friends with Pecker. So what?

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

So after multiple news organizations have already put the finger on Team Rubio for Ted Cruz’s affairs expose, we’re still arguing about whether or not Donald Trump is friends with the National Enquirer and is thus to blame? Ted Cruz knew he was lying when he blamed Trump. He knew since January that this story was out there and who was pushing it.

Trump knows a lot of people. He moves in interesting circles.

But it’s been pretty thoroughly shown that Rubio and his operators were behind publication of this particular article.

Hell, I once met JFK at a party. Does that mean that I’m responsible for the Vietnamese War?

[goodwithagun]

Ouch.

[goodwithagun]

You were the guy on the grassy knoll!

[nickcarraway]

It means you know more conservatives than Trump.

[jospehm20]

Ted Cruz knows he is lying whenever he does it, which is often. I hope to get the chance to correct my 2012 mistake of voting for Cruz in 2018.

Trump loves Pecker. So do his supporters.

“CRUZ GOOD! TRUMP BAD! CRUZ GOOD! TRUMP BAD!”

Trump good, Cruz bad, Trump good, Cruz bad.

Trump is standing on a mountain top literally fighting off attackers from all sides. Trump is a man. If Melania ever left him, I would line up to date him.
Trump can park his shoes under my bed any old time, but Ted Cruz not so much — I’d rather join a convent.

[jwalsh07]

Good one Durbin. :-)

[Luircin]

Isn’t it wonderful. At this rate we’re going to end up with Bush v. Hillary anyways because we can’t even unite on wanting an honest convention.

*Spit*

[skeeter]

Thats what it boils down to.

We are so screwed.

That's back when Rubio was in the race..

[jwalsh07]

So, NE has attacked every R nominee in print running close to or ahead of Trump for a year but never an attack on Mr. Trump. I don’t believe that’s a coincidence. Your belief may differ.

I’m more concerned with Ted Cruz’s alliances with Glenn Beck, Jeb Bush, Neil Bush, Phil Gramm, Lindsay Graham and his tea of CFR people he has working for him. I am also wondering why Ted gave $10,000 to Glenn Beck in October of last year and then Glenn endorsed him just 2 weeks later. These are the things that bother me. I forgot to mention the Poppy Bush got Ted the Solicitor General position in Texas. Wake up people!
