Old news, sorta....>snip<
...Now, as Carson overtakes Trump as the GOP front-runner, it appears Trump is getting help from a media outlet known for ending presidential candidacies: the National Enquirer. Earlier this month, the Enquirer published a cover story on Carson headlined “Bungling Surgeon Ben Carson Left Sponge in Patient’s Brain!” The article called Carson a “White House wannabe” and claimed he “brandished a scalpel like a meat cleaver!” It went on to quote angry former patients saying he botched surgeries that left them disfigured and in pain; one patient who sued Carson said he forgot to remove a surgical sponge from her brain after a procedure. “His presidential campaign should be dead on arrival!” Enquirer reporter Sharon Churcher wrote.
Trump and Enquirer CEO David Pecker have been friends for years. “They’re very close,” said a source close to the Enquirer. In July 2013, Trump even tweeted that Pecker should become CEO of Time magazine, which at the time was being spun off from its corporate parent, Time Warner. “He’d make it exciting and win awards!”
This person also said that Trump’s campaign was a source for the article: “His campaign provided information that was used,” he explained. A Trump friend said that in the days leading up to the article’s publication Trump was telling people that Carson “had a lot of medical malpractice suits” and “almost killed a guy.”

Not relevant.
Yet another stupid accusation with no facts.
This morning you stated that the GOP has not changed the rules for a 100 years and yet you still will not admit you are wrong.
Why?
is it because you post utter garbage and you know it.
Good Lord. There is no difference between you and the left wing female idiots who said they would be happy to service Clinton’s humidor needs.
Don’t worry everytime I see you posting utter crap with lies and false accusation I will let you know and as of today you have not posted any posts as far as I can see with facts.
Always insinuation and false accusations.
If a candidate doesn’t have the 1237 needed, they don’t win the nomination on the first ballot. I know you Trump supporters want that rule changed, but that’s always been the rule, Trump’s not that special.
Stalking me now I see. Sucks to be you.
I hope to get the chance to correct my 2012 mistake of voting for Cruz in 2018.
******************
Cruz’s work history says he won’t run in 2018 if he is still senator then. He seldom
last more that four or five years in any position he has ever held. Movers move I know but
Cruz fits that mold.
The National Enquirer is tied to Hillary NOT Trump.
This sex crap was old information coming from the Rubio camp NOT Trump and had been out there for months.
Not only irrelevant but a LIE.
By the way if this smarmy creep goes after Melania he will get his head handed to him as has regularly been the case of late.
No wonder he has about a third of Trump’s vote totals (not even 2 million).
The article details a series of incidents in which the Enquirer, in a timely fashion, put forth material damaging to people who were opposed to Trump. That Trump in not only no stranger to Pecker, but that they are close might well be relevant.
Yea good one, now post facts on what he stated seeing as you say it’s a good one.
This morning he stated that the GOP has not changed the rules in a 100 years and was proven incorrect.
Seems Durbin has a habit of posting utter crap with no facts.
every time I see you posting crap I will call you out and yet again you post crap with no facts.
Post factual information and stop embarrassing yourself
Should we conclude that she is a dishonest newsperson or that he should be held to account for her reporting?
Poorly done.
It’s part of Cruz’s “Trump’s New York values” narrative.
This “thing” story apparently has been shopped around for some time, allegedly by persons associated with Rubio. What doesn’t anyone investigate that? Why is Cruz silent on that? Because it doesn’t support his narrative.
Trump and his dad were some of Reagan’s best money raisers.
War came to Chicago and Cruz joined the Enemy.
LMAO, you’re pretty funny.
Trump can park his shoes under my bed any old time, ...
Have at. Better there than in the West Wing.
What fact would you like to support laughing at something humorous? Nonsensical.
Aww. You gonna call me out on the internet? Should I be scared? LOL. Enjoy.
