PROOF????

Is that a joke?. Just which was Cruz' number? Didn't see any calls from TX or his area code., while he was TEXAS SOLICITOR GENERAL.

I guess I am the fool perusing this document for what you claimed was "Proof". You've lost that last micro-sliver of credibility that you had left.

Probably the saddest thing,is i that I have a lot of respect for the sane Trump supporters here who are promoting their candidate based on his merits and the issues, rather than people like you who offer nothing but tabloid smear fodder.. Do you have anything else n your intellectual folder beside that?

I hate to tell you, but your antics are hurting your candidate.

None of them were his number- see my post above-

Couldn’t have said it better myself- Sadly this election has brought out the worst in people- on full display-

You know FRiend, we’re kind of on the same page here, although I admit to taking a few unkind shots at Cruz myself, however if someone were to go back a few months and just survey the exchange of posts between the Cruz and Trump camps, that a pretty good case could be made that it was the Cruz supporters who first opened fire on Trump and naturally Trump backers reciprocated. My good FRiend DoughtyOne can certainly testify to that.

In the case of Cruz, I think this continued scandal (whether it is true or not), is due to his failure to address it head on, not with lawyer-speak denials that it was all “garbage”, but with pointed assertions of fact, stating that he has never been unfaithful to his wife, never had an affair or mistresses, and threatening legal action against the National Enquirer if they did not immediately apologize and retract the story.

If the story does not have legs, that I think would have knocked it off the front page and on to the back page. But I don’t think there is any question that the spectacle of Carly Fiorina stepping in between Cruz and a reporter asking a question regarding this, did NOT help Cruz one iota.

Whether or not this whole phone number controversy is a smoking gun, too soon to tell. But there has already been a bunch of smoke, and again: Cruz blaming Trump for all of this was not a tactically sound decision.

I believe that until Cruz comes forward with a latter day version of Nixon’s “Checkers” speech and just lays it all out there, no matter what it is, good or bad, that the uncertain undercurrent that is dogging him will only become more difficult to overcome.

Americans love a sinner who confesses and promises to do better. Trump has acknowledged his own personal failings so far as his marriages are concerned, did that long ago in his books, and he isn’t running for Pope or Chaplain of the Senate, he’s running for President.

So is Cruz running for President (obviously) but he has chosen to mix his political overtures with the flavor of a religious revival and he ought to know that unless your closet is immaculately clean without skeletons, that is a risky move. This may very well end badly for him.
