RSBN is doing its best to keep you updated in real time about what certainly seems to be the effective end of the Cruz campaign, as the multiple-mistress scandal continues to linger and fester.
As of this afternoon, March 29, the Cruz campaign appears to be spinning out of control, if not already finished. It may be just a matter of time.
Not that Big Media is particularly doing much to do anything but bury the story. The trumpophobic media of course is relying on Cruz to remain in the race as its last hope of possibly preventing Trump from receiving the 1,237 delegates required for the Republican nomination.
The big news of the last day or so, make no mistake, is that Heidi Cruz has gone MIA. She canceled her New Jersey campaign events that were scheduled this week, including a fundraiser in Morris County scheduled for Wednesday.
Additionally, she has not tweeted since Friday, the day after the Cruz-infidelity story broke in the National Enquirer.
Additionally, yesterday Cruz added suspicion by hamhandedly attempting to avoid a question on the infidelity issue. Instead, he figuratively hid behind the skirt of Carly Fiorina.
When Cruz was asked by a reporter from DailyMail.com yesterday to tell “on the record that you’ve never been unfaithful to your wife,” Fiorina awkwardly jumped in, with a subsequent exchange going as follows:
Fiorina: “If I may…” Reporter: “No, I’m sorry. I asked the Senator that question.” Fiorina: “Well, I’m gonna comment, OK?” Reporter: “Do you have first-hand knowledge of his marriage?” Fiorina: “I’m gonna comment. This is an example of the media playing to Donald Trump’s tune.”
Fiorina then tried her best to change the subject, saying “Donald trump is a serial philanderer, by his own admission. And in a week when we have had a terrorist attack in Brussels, a shooting on Capitol Hill, the president of the United States in the baseball stands with Raul Castro, and insisting that he be photographed in front of a portrait of Che Guevara with the two Castro brothers, we are talking about a scurrilous, ridiculous piece in the National Enquirer. Why do you all dance to Donald Trump’s tune? Let’s talk about the issues, please.’
Given another attempt to answer the specific question, Cruz responded with “Sir, I recognize that you love going into the gutter with these kind of … [several parties talking at once].”
Cruz did say, thereafter, that “the National Enquirer story is complete garbage. It is total lies. It was planted by Donald Trump’s henchmen.”
Cruz of course was using legalese there, which could have of course referred to any National Enquirer story. He did not answer the reporter’s actual question about his faithfulness.
As Trump emphasized during his appearance on The Savage Nation yesterday, it was Marco Rubio’s campaign which had been peddling the Cruz-mistress story for some time, and Trump himself had nothing to do with its promulgation. In fact, Trump (who of course wasn’t there 24/7 and thus cannot be entirely sure that there was no infidelity) expressed to Savage that he thought the allegations were “garbage.” Note, as was the case with Cruz also using the term “garbage” to describe the allegations, the use of the word “garbage” does not necessarily mean that one thinks the allegations are untrue.
Meanwhile, the Cruz campaign has resorted to attempting to deflect attention from its candidate’s meltdown by playing up the ridiculous-to-the-point-of-almost-hilarious charge of “battery” in Jupiter, Florida against Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. This “battery” consisted of a slight inadvertent brush-up against publicity-seeking, now-former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields when both parties were on a crowded stage. Cruz’s campaign manager Alice Stewart attempted to exploit the bogus charge against Lewandowski, saying, apparently not jokingly: “Unfortunately, this abusive behavior seems to be part of the culture of the Trump campaign.”
As for the division of the Cruz campaign know as The Glenn Beck Program, Beck said yesterday that he’ll drop Ted Cruz “like a hot potato” if the sex scandal allegations turn out to be true.
Beck added that “But if you’re a serial guy, like five of them during this campaign, that’s insane, a totally different person han we think Ted Cruz is…” But, laughingly, Beck pointed out that Cruz “doesn’t have enough game. We’re not talking Tom Cruise. It’s Ted Cruz, have you watched him?”
Beck has taken in recent weeks to referring to Cruz as the “anointed one,” beseeching Christian voters that it’s their religious due to vote for Cruz.
Some Cruz supporters are certainly troubled by the way the story is playing out. According to Tanna, one now-former Cruz supporter: “He’s so done. His entire campaign has been based on being a moral elitist being above and more GODLY than the rest of us and I took the bait. Shame on me. Last time I fall for that preacher crap.”
In sum, whether the adage that “where there’s smoke, there’s fire” applies to the Cruz-infidelity story is, for now, for you to decide. We at RSBN suspect the soap opera known as the Cruz Campaign will be providing a final answer very shortly.
Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
The fact Hedi has ceased to campaign for her hubby tells you all you need to know.
I don’t know what Cruz was thinking but cheating on your wife while you’re running for Prez isn’t exactly revealing of your character or good judgment.
Its sad.
RE: A man who can’t tell the truth to save his reputation is done.
Again, you are assuming that he is not telling the truth. Where’s the evidence?
All evidence presented so far are either:
1) The names of women who have DENIED the allegations
2) Tweets from people
3) Someone who claim they saw it happen but won’t be interviewed by the press.
Not yet. Everyone's waiting for Heidi's next move.
They know they can't win because of the way the system is.
And taking reporters and editors to court only calls attention to what may be false and frivolous accusations.
RE: Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
Where’s the smoke? All I see are smokes and mirrors.
It’s been nearly a week since this story broke and I’m still waiting for good evidence. Lucky I’m not holding my breath.
So being a Trumpet means being 200% anti-Cruz?
She will be judged as she is judging and should have stayed out of it for numerous reasons. Obviously, it appears she's hoping for a Ted win out of it so she can enjoy a nice position.
Trump bothers me a little, but he has been open about it, too much so if you've read his book which I haven't.
I doubt it’s a total fabrication. The National Enquirer learned its lesson when Carol Burnett sued their heads off years ago.
REALLY? THE TED CRUZ — Presidential candidate of the United States on Ashley Madison?
Who’s going to inform Drudge? /sarc
The Democrats would have fun exposing him as a philandering hypocrite who says one thing when his own life doesn’t measure up to his professed values.
Its Eliot Spitzer, only the cumulative damage is worse.
You are 100% correct. If Cruz wins, Hillary gets the presidency. Don’t bother with the polls this far away from the general election, she will tear him down by November and he won’t win any state north of the Mason Dixon line.
RE: I doubt it’s a total fabrication.
OK, where’s the evidence?
I’d like something like a blue dress ... a picture, a video or something.
If Cruz were running against Clinton in the GE this story would be all over the MSM which is another reason Cruz will not be the GE candidate. The GOPe are just using Cruz to siphon votes from Trump. The global corporatists that own the MSM want Trump out so there’s no reason to run the mistress story now.
It’s true, Beck really did refer to Cruz ad anointed. I’m on my phone now, buy just do a quick Google search and you’ll find it.
Sorry, I respect you and will not post that again.
That campaign is real. I’ve seen it.
Women for Cruz.

It’s unfair, but totally true.
Interesting that rsbn.tv has only been around since last October and the registrant name is “private” and the entire content of the web page is devoted to pro Trump and anti Cruz articles, many of them salacious. This sort of trashing the opposition and avoiding issues has been well planned. I will give Trump that. There is little doubt Trump will absolutely and irredeemably destroy Cruz and his family. Win baby win, anything goes.
Well, he was asked “on the record that you’ve never been unfaithful to your wife,”. He doesn’t have to dwell on anything, a one word answer would suffice. He could simply answer “No”. That’s what a normal person who hadn’t been unfaithful would say. The fact that he wouldn’t and allowed Carly to try to deflect it speaks volumes.
It will be. Right now the Left is helping your so called fearsome conservative, just like Carly had to Mommy him. He’s a liar and a puss. But he pays you so great.
I voted Cruz in the primary. His denial is very lawyer-esk. If one coma is used incorrectly..... Just damn!
