this idea that he should have already filed suit is asinine. That story was carefully loaded with weasel words. It doesn’t say that Ted Cruz cheated, so there is virtually no actionable legal claim against the National Enquirer. A lawsuit might be a good political strategy, but at this juncture it would be laughed out of court.

He could still threaten to sue, even if he thought he had no chance, just to keep up appearances. But has he even done that???

If I were accused unjustly by the Enquirer, you'd better believe I would be threatening a lawsuit, regardless of whether I thought I could win.

Incidentally, after that bizarre interview with Teddy and Mommy Dearest last night, I can't believe there are folks out there who still think Cruz is innocent. But if they're interested in some dehydrated water, I've got plenty to sell. ;)

So you would believe he’s innocent if he threatened the Enquirer? Can’t speak for you, but that wouldn’t influence many people. He’s in a no-win situation at the moment. It seems most have already deemed him guilty, regardless of evidence. I doubt much of anything he could say would sway anyone.

I am glad he’s not running around making baseless legal threats. I’m a conservative who has stood for tort reform my whole adult life. I despise the modern quick-to-sue mentality. That’s the crap I expect from Democratic candidates like John Edwards.

For the record, as I’ve stated elsewhere, I’m not in love with any of the candidates, but I’ll vote for the nominee. So don’t have the idea I’m here defending my guy. I simply hate watching our side rip into one another and act juvenile. I also hate to see someone convicted without actual evidence. However, if Cruz has had affairs, I suspect actual evidence, as opposed to innuendo, will be produced and he will suffer the just consequences of his own actions. The demise of his career will be on the man in the mirror and no one else.
