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.”

Indeed trisham .
All day when I have come on here I have seen various posters posting with no facts, but with either sly digs, or false accusations.
I don’t need to follow anyone as he is all over the board posting lies.
Nobody is that good friends
Nobody is that good friends
Yes. It is all your fault.(/s). This isn't meeting at a party, it is a connection between the two that has been working in Trump's favor for years, and especially this campaign.
would you like to admit you were wrong by posting that the GOP had not changed the rules in a 100 years.
You were proven wrong. Now was it because you did not know about 2012 or just because you lied?
Do you have proof she was his mistress? Or is your proof tabloid , unprovable tweets and innuendo? You give me some iron clad proof, I’ll drop Cruz. Till then you nothing more than a rumormonger
Dishonesty? There is no evidence that she is Cruz's mistress, but that doesn't stop you from posting it as fact.
If that is the case, it is picking the person Hillary wants to face in the General. There has been no dirt there on the Hillary Donor.
No, but I do hold you responsible for the Bay of Hillarys. :o)
Well, lets follow your logic. Since you’re so convinced that Trump leaked the goods on Cruz to the NE and facts mean nothing (#theThing), then, I am going to say without fear that Ted Cruz not only knew all about the ad on Trump’s wife but ordered it. Therefore, Ted is a sleaze. Thanks, life is so much easier when you can ignore facts.
In spite of the publicity hungry media shilling the idea that there will be a brokered convention, it knows that won’t happen.
Trump will have enough delegates for a first ballot victory.
Just look at the number left and WHERE they are, and tell me he can’t get 60% of them.
Keeping the idea afloat that nefarious forces will thwart him is good for viewship but has nothing to do with the truth of the matter.
Trump has beaten everyone like a drum for months and THESE lamebrains are going to take away his victory? I don’t think so.
I’ve no idea how to search Pecker’s operational archives but I’d assume that Trumps been in their cross hairs dozens of times - way more than any of his competitors.
Are you implying that Trump and Pecker are more than just friends?
Right, Cruz came in 3rd in Florida, Ohio, and Virginia and Hillary is quaking in her boots with fear of having to face him. What happened to deflection, that was so much fun. Not it seems as though delusion is the order of the day.
Proof? I think Trump didn't register as a Republican until 1987?
Cruz is doing what he accuses Trump of doing.
“said a source close to the Enquirer”
How come the National Enquirer published all those unflattering stories about Donald Trump? Who needs “friends” like that.
I hear you, friend.
Still spewing that lie? If Ted had Soros' backing (like the protesters in the streets), he could buy the National Enquirer.
That you continue to put Cruz in with the #BLM bunch and Bill Ayres' lot shows just how YUUGE the delusions are getting.
