It’s a well known story: When Ted Cruz went to work for the George W. Bush presidential campaign in 2000, he had a lot going for him. He was in his 20s, a Texan, and smart, boasting a Harvard Law degree and a Supreme Court clerkship. It didn’t hurt to be young Hispanic man in a campaign looking for Latino votes. But Cruz was so self-aggrandizing and irksome that he managed to annoy folks at the headquarters in Austin so much that he never won a coveted slot at the White House. When Bush took office, Cruz was relegated to the hinterlands of the Federal Trade Commission.
Since then, Cruz’s unlikability has become legendary, especially in the Senate, where he really pissed off his colleagues with a government shutdown, and even called his party’s leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell, a liar. No wonder Ted Cruz was on CNN on Wednesday night as part of their family town hall series. With his telegenic wife and adorable daughters, Cruz did a lot to dispel the image of him as yucky.
Like Nixon in the 50s, Cruz in the 10s isn’t lovable but he has come very far very fast. Here he is, a first-term senator in second place for the Republican nomination, having outlasted the likes of Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush. Like Obama was when he ran and won the presidency, he’s only in the fourth year of his first term....

He could have been in 2016 but he decided he deserved it now and has become the next Rubio as far as presidential runs go.
Of what?
“They killed jesus for his unlike-ability and he was the son of god. Likeability often means you are a compromise or pleaser.ted cruz has repeatedly stood up against the anti-American nonsense in senate.he has tried to stand in way of them giving in to obama. What’s to like about that?”
You are seriously deficient in critical thinking skills, applple. Your analogy holds no water. Too much time with Common Core maybe.
Incidentally, you need to capitalize ‘Jesus’ and ‘Son of God’ when you’re referring to the one true God and the one true Messiah.
You are way off base, sister.
You’re one of those people who know ‘just enough to be dangerous’.
Your main point, about the NE allegations forming a “cloud” of doubt about Ted Cruz with “millions” of people is what I will address now. I believe that’s all you’ve essentially said, and all you’ve offered as a reason to continue bringing up that garbage.
For reasonable people, the National Enquirer is a known cesspool of gossip and innuendo. So no one takes what they say seriously. Never mind the fact that no one bothers to sue them for libel much less slander, not because they don’t care about their reputation but because the Enquirer writes their articles in such a way as to hide behind weasel words, making it impossible to prove any intent of libel or slander. Lawyers know this. This is why Cruz hasn’t bothered wasting his time. Again, reasonable (and informed) people know this.
Even when they were later proven correct in a few of their “expose’s”, it was only because other sources of data confirmed their allegations. And they’ve only reached that level of credibility a few times. A few times out of the hudreds of thousands of stories they’ve run. So to say “they were right about John Edwards” as some kind of reason to give this or any other story consideration is like saying the time of day is whatever a stopped clock says it is, since it’s right two times a day.
If Hillary dares bring this up in a debate all Ted has to do in reply is ask, “So how’s that brain tumor working out for you Hillary?”, because that and other rediculous stories are also courtesy of the Enquirer. And then people will laugh (at her for being stupid to bring an Enquirer story into a debate) and everyone will move on. It won’t hurt him in the slightest in any debate.
The only people who are swayed by that salacious story are those who are either too stupid to realize the Enquirer is a rag, fish wrap not worthy of most fish, and those who already hate Cruz for other reasons and are too evil already to realize how much they rely upon gossip to make their own lives worth living.
In conclusion this “cloud” only matters to those Cruz would never win anyway: the gossiping clucking hens of this country who have no moral compass of their own and live for stories such as this to hide from their own inadequacies.
So Ted sCruz now has his very own “Bang of 8”
But wait, Ted argued against dildo’s in Texas, can’t wait for the gif with him wagging a dildo at us.
“This eight women nightmare for Ted may seem like old news and these allegations have run their course.”
A false smear campaign.

Sorry, you're outa luck Fourty. Like all the others before you, you can be seated now:
***
"Unfortunately for Ted, it's not whether these allegations are true...or not true. But it's the perception! ..there is now...a cloud hanging over Ted. This damning cloud / perception is stuck over Ted and will remain so for the rest of this life."

(even facing inevitable defeat...you guys continue to fall by the wayside)
Did you even read what I wrote to you? I don’t think you did.
I addressed and refuted this “damning cloud” as a reason to continue to bring up this garbage and any “new developments” about it (unless some reputable source confirms the story, which I don’t see happening)
He will be the next president. I’d bet on it....

(looks like I’m not making friends today stephen, lol)
Oh, I see. You're saying ..........people don't have memories...huh, roflmao.
The whole nation now has alzheimers and can't remember anything....roflmao still
Russia, China, Japan and heck even Mexico knows that obuma is a phony from his head to his feet and have the proof of it, they also probably have better information coming out of Hillary's ‘bathroom server’ than our own FBI, or CIA, and they are using it...hence back door deals (Iran deal ring any bells)
We need people who has nothing in their closets, and Cruz's whole life is one big lie, so lets start supporting a person who has been put through the ‘spyglass’ for the past 40 years and Make America Great Again...
Yep...big time.
