Cruz: Media is sitting on bombshells about Donald Trump
The Hill ^ | 3/6/2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 03/06/2016 1:42:39 PM PST by 20yearsofinternet

Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) said on Sunday that the media is sitting on explosive negative information about front-runner Donald Trump with plans to run it later in the year to tear the candidate apart.

"I think an awful lot of reporters — I can't tell you how many media outlets I hear, you know, have this great exposé on Donald, on different aspects of his business dealings or his past, but they said, 'You know what? We're going to hold it to June or July,'" Cruz said on CBS's "Face The Nation" Sunday. "We're not going to run it now."

Cruz said the media has given the front-runner "hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertising." Every press conference Trump has is shown on every television station, he said, noting the media helped create this "phenomenon."

"And all of the attacks on Donald that the media is not talking about now, you'd better believe come September, October, November — if he were the nominee — every day on the nightly news would be taking Donald apart," he said.

With Cruz You Get Rubio... With Trump you get a conservative liberal with socialist tendancies who’s pro-life every other week, catholic on Wednesdays, protestant on Saturdays, atheist on Sundays, hates Hillary but likes her but that’s ok because everything is terrific, he’ll make America Great Again and we’ll be winning so much we’ll get sick of it.

Smoking hot 3rd wife though!

And even after all of that if he’s the nominee I’ll vote for him vice the Skank or the half-dead socialst on the left.

If Cruz is the nominee where will you be?

So far they have been doing enough to make it look real, not enough to actually do any damage.

Nonsense. If it had been anybody but Trump, it would have done real damage.

Slinging the mud and gossip?

Very Christian, Ted.

Sounds like the little man is slinging mud. When you do
some of it may just splatter back.

But you have to remember, no matter what Hitlary does, she is the media's candidate and they will do anything to make sure she wins. They have the resources to turn Trump into mincemeat.

So, we need to ask ourselves - does Trump have the moral capital to fight the media dump onslaught when they have more 24-7 ammo?

"Make America great again" and "I will build that wall" will not cut it if they can easily slam the guy who will try to defeat their candidate.

In addition to that, they will do anything for ratings.

Cruz was born in Canada. Some lawyers have the opinion he's NBC; some don't. Saying some have questions about his eligibility isn't exactly ‘hearsay’.

IF you don't think the MSM is going to go after Trump harder than ever to benefit the Dem nominee, most likely their friend Hillary. ...you're in denial.

Why so nasty?

Jim Rob just gave us a pep talk, did you not get the message?

I'm supporting Ted Cruz, but I don't go around posting FUDT.

No, they dont. That's the point!

You want to see the media turn someone into mincemeat: look at every Republican President since Nixon!

Trump is the first guy we've ever had that not only understands the media is our primary enemy, but has the skills and charisma to beat them at their own game.

I have no doubt the MSM has all kinds of dirt on all the candidates, fabricated or real; and they are just waiting on unleashing it when it is the most advantageous to their own interests and agenda.

The MSM is the enemy of the American republic.

From yesterday's Freeper caucus results, it looks overwhelming like it's about Trump 75-80%, Cruz 20-25%.

And that matches the push-back / hostility on any Cruz thread.

“Why would they use it now? They’d use it after the convention.”

That’s what I think. The MSM will do anything and everything to elect the Dim.

So you don't think that the same media who has already organized to make sure Hillary is not hurt by Benghazi and her entire email scandal - you don't think that they would not go out of their way to castrate Trump once and for all?

I don't like the games the media plays, however it is a mark of reality to admit that they will go after him.

Just because he says that the media loves him and that he has many friends in the media - you don't think they would not sacrifice him over Hillary if they had the chance? It is in their DNA to protect Hillary. Just as it has been the entire time Obama has been on the scene.

Trump is clueless as to what is going to hit him.

Why would she give up her US citizenship? I can see it she was married to a Canadian and planned to make that her forever home but she was married to a Cuban.

Are you just making that up?
