By now, everyone with an IQ above that of roofing tar has heard of the allegations of sexual infidelity by Sen. Ted Cruz (Cuban - TX (by way of Canada)).
I do not intend to review the entire timeline of this controversy, nor to engage in rumor mongering against Cruz, nor against Trump; still less to attribute the stories to any other candidate's campaign or shadow cabal or conspiracy.
I just wish to note that last night, Sen. Cruz held a press conference with Carly Fiorina (ex-CEO, Lucent) in which he was asked to affirm that he had never had an affair. But even as he hesitated before answering, Carly Fiorina interrupted. Quoting from the article:
‘Why do you all dance to Donald Trump’s tune?’ she demanded to know of about 15 reporters in the room. ‘Let’s talk about the issues, please!’
DailyMail.com directed the question a second time at Cruz when Fiorina had finished.
‘Senator I’m sorry, this is a very serious question about your character,’ the second question came.
‘Will you just – if the answer is, “Yes, I’ve always been faithful to my wife,” can you just say so please?’
His practised answer stuck to the more limited denial that the National Enquirer story was false, calling it ‘complete garbage.’
‘It is total lies, it was planted by Donald Trump’s henchmen, and I don’t think the people of Wisconsin or the people of America have any interest in tabloid trash.’
A couple of things immediately came to mind.
1) Why is it another politician, and a female one at that, who is on the podium with him, instead of his wife?
2) Why does this female have to answer for him?
3) The reporter practically spoon fed him words to say to make the scandal go away. Why didn't he take the hint and the lifeline?
and finally...
4) why does his answer "...it was planned by Donald Trump's henchmen" remind me of Hillary and the Blue Dress?
It must be a vast Donald Trump conspiracy.
What’s with the wrist? Looks like a fake hand on the girl.
Crux looked like a pervert even as a toddler. Hilarious.
Trumps daughter is not running for president. You Cruz zombies are dumb even when trying to fight back you can’t do it right.
Couldn’t resist! lol
Unsourced innuendo, anonymous twitter posts, seriously...
hillary's corruption isn't even on the back burner anymore, let alone mohammaden blood letting, hussein's support of isis, the muslim and illegal invasion, the Constitution torn asunder, the destruction of our military...
The left and our enemies are laughing their way to the bank.

When your enemy is hitting themselves in the head with the nun chucks stand back and watch.
Lawyers and weasels parse things EXACTLY. The only honest people who practice that kind of precision are computer geeks and engineers.
I think he believes he would do everything he said he would do. What he doesn't seem to realize is that the primary season is like one long job interview by the voters. Should we hire Ted Cruz as our candidate? Does he have all the qualifications for the job? Should we say "You're hired" or should we say "YOU'RE FIRED"?
Here’s a photo of a son that Cruz had with some blue-eyed beauty back in 2004.
So why couldn't Cruz take the line the reporter spoon-fed him to make the whole thing go away?
Why wasn't his wife there? Good gravy, even Eliot Spitzer's wife showed up next to him, and so did Hillary Clinton. ("Gasping for air, I could hardly breathe," she wrote in her book, later, of hearing the news. But there she was all the same, standing by her man.)
I guess Goldman Sucks is such a demanding company that even if your husband who is running for President has a crisis, and needs you by his side, the company comes first.
Is she married (i know, today you actually have to ask that)
I held onto Cruz as long as possible, but he just fell apart.
I like Trump’s age a lot to tell the truth. I’m about Marco’s and Ted’s age, and I turn to 70 year old family members a lot for advice STILL.
Have they worked together long enough for the kid to be his.
the kids REALLY have his face. but really? wow.
If Cruz is to survive he must give a definitive answer. Not doing so is burying him. It doesn’t matter that he thinks it’s “garbage”, or even that it *is* garbage, it appears that he is being evasive. Perceptions matter. If he is going to change how he is perceived then he needs to change his behavior.
Heidi Cruz has canceled all upcoming events. Something is going on.
I was raised to respect/protect women.
However. If you send your wife and/or daughter out to call me a scamp/scoundrel/worthless/manipulating SOB etc and my ‘diggers’ found out that she once spit on the sidewalk, in order to ‘shake up’ her holiness, I am going to say ‘we’ heard she spit on the sidewalk.
Also, when it comes to the ‘ladies’, if a ‘lady’ gets on my case and I do not respond in a like manner, someone is going to ask how I expect to negotiate with ISIS if a 5’1” Blonde (bimbo) talked down to me and I didn’t respond.
Of course, if I did respond, ‘they’ would call me a bully and a lout.
So, when it comes to women in a ‘contest’, they automatically have the advantage no matter how the man responds to any chicanery - be it comments or actions.
You could make a DEVASTATING viral internet meme finding photos of random kids (in the public domain, of course) and juxtaposing them with Cruz and the legend, “Are you my Daddy?”
Neil Bush, the SNL Criminal, is running Cruz’s financial campaign.
Jeb Bush has endorsed Cruz.
even Cruz he is a Globalist.
Now how did you come up with Trump is the new W Bush?
It’s over.
Like a battered wife, I supported this guy. Left him, then came back.
I DONT WANT him to run this country anymore.
He entered too young with too many flaws.
What, you think she's going to elope with Joe Biden? /sarc>
OK, that was cruel. Lindsey Graham? /facepalm>
Yeah I think it’s down to days, unless he radically changes how he’s handling this.
