stories have been swirling around Cruz for some time
Theres nothing to take issue with here: this is a true statement. Then then story goes on to cover the very stories in question, which have been discussed by Rubio people and other GOP operatives and the press under the hashtag #TheThing on twitter publicly, and who else even knows privately, for months now.
So, you can get all high and mighty about it if you want to, but all evidence suggests this had nothing to with Trump, the Melania ad, or anything else. Its all Cruz and nothing but the Cruz, and his denial of the allegations was weaksauce and his profession of innocence/fidelity was non-existent.
Sure thing. You say Rubio is swirling the rumors. Trump’s pal’s publication comes out with the story — and quotes Trump’s guy, Roger Stone.
Who else is good ole Roger talking to? I say Roger Stone is the source of many of the swirling rumors. And I’ll get as high and mighty as I please, since you’re defending the two-time wife dumper and serial adulterer.
