The National Enqirer Long in the Tank for Trump
The Briefing Room ^ | March 25, 2016 | A.B. Raxas

Posted on 03/25/2016 6:58:59 AM PDT by mystery-ak

In perfect tabloid fashion one can expect this time in a contentious election cycle (remember Herman Cain), supermarket tabloid The National Enquirer decided to fabricate a sex scandal about Ted Cruz that could be the plot for a sequel to Eyes Wide Shut if it weren't so unbelievable.

If she dindu nuffin I doubt she would be “ousted”
On the other hand if Trump can’t defend her because there is fire under the smoke, then she ought to go at least to a nonpublic position
As well as any of his advisors who should have vetted her

And here we have a Cruz pac sending 500k to a carly pac.

I didn't know until this morning; just read that FEC was interested as well; if these affairs are true, that could spell the same legal troubles for those involved that Edwards experienced. Does it dovetail with Heidi's police incident in a plausible timeline ? It would cause a normal wife deep distress.

This is no longer just sourced from a blog. It’s become bigger yet FR continues to yank...except for this thread purporting ties between Trump and NE....

Standard 1:
Trump has ties to the mob: We have no story, but you know it’s true!

The Washington Post(not the National Enquirer mind you) says “Hello”.

One of these days I’m expecting some candidate to not only survive a scandal like this (if true), but to actually become more popular because of it. Oh, wait, that already happened I guess. Geez, if this turns out to be true, maybe Cruz should just brag about it (of course not, but that’s how crazy our world has become). So now I’m imagining this:

“...And I would $!@&# them in a boat.
And I would $!@&# them with a goat...

And I will $!@&# them in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good, so good, you see!

So I will $!@&# them in a box.
And I will $!@&# them with a fox.
And I will $!@&# them in a house.
And I will $!@&# them with a mouse.
And I will $!@&# them here and there.
Say! I will $!@&# them anywhere!

So if Cruz ignores it, it will just go away?

Not sure why FR is pulling every last thread on this. It's a news story across the board

Maybe because it's tabloid trash and even though it is almost certainly complete BS, Trump supporters (such as yourself) want it out there because they hope it will tarnish Cruz even though it highly unlikely to be true.

Too bad for you Trumpsters this isn't likely going to have any effect at all, and may just look like more attacks from Trump supporters on Cruz's wife garnering him sympathy and helping him defeat Trump in Wisconsin (second poll out today showing Cruz beating Trump in that next primary state).

Trump and his allies appear to be getting a bit worried his nomination will be derailed.

I would like you to back up the men from Mars statement in regards to National Enquirer.

Other tabloids have posted stuff like that but nothing I remember from National Enquirer.

There may be some, but it’s definitely not something they are known for.

National Enquirer, WWE, Donald Trump all appeal to a certain class of people that believe they are all real.

Katrina Pierson - spokesperson for Trump and one of the “pictures” has now locked her Twitter account. Amanda Carpenter has also gone silent on twitter.

Stop putting words in my mouth you crazy Trumpbot creature. I admitted nothing. Trumpbots should be ashamed of themselves to even accuse anyone of adultery given that Donald Trump is the King of adulterers.

That’s not the same as him having dealings to the mob that are itemized in his tax returns in 2015-16.

But nice try.

There are more than 8000 articles from NE still on FR. What’s the consistency then? Other sources are corroborating the story. As much as you wish, this IS a real story that so far, no one has denied.

I can understand if they don’t want multiple threads of the exact same blog post about it.

But they aren’t doing Cruz any favors if they are just yanking for the sake of trying to make it go away.
