The National Enquirer alleged on March 23 that the senator has had five extramarital affairs. And the descriptions it provided of the women—along with barely-pixelated headshots of them—left little to D.C. insiders’ imaginations as to who the Enquirer had accused of being Cruz paramours.

Cruz fired back on Friday, charging that the piece was baseless and that the Enquirer was taking its marching orders straight from “Donald Trump and his henchmen.”

The truth behind the rumor-mongering, however, is a little more complex. A half-dozen GOP operatives and media figures tell The Daily Beast that Cruz’s opponents have been pushing charges of adultery for at least six months now—and that allies of former GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio were involved in spreading the smears.

Well, I guess we’ll be hearing an apology from Ted Cruz soon for those accusations he made against Trump.

Cruz is a lawyer. Has he filed his libel lawsuit against NE yet? What’s he waiting on? To my mind, that would be a fairly good opening indicator of innocence.

I said the same thing yesterday and today....but the Cruz Toadys only wanted to believe what St. Cruz told them...despite the truth....but one thing is true....Cruz considers all mammals worthy of his Cruz missle.

Lawsuits involve a little thing called discovery.That’s why a lot of folks make a lot of noise about being wronged but never file.

It is either true like Tiger Woods and John Edwards or it isn’t all the arguing here won’t effect it.

A man who has the patience and management skills to deal with 5 mistresses can easily defeat ISIS.

Washington Times “reporter” that supposedly confirms Ted Cruz had “affairs” was himself previously fired for altering newspaper headlines w/o authorization

http://insider.foxnews.com/2013/08/02/chattanooga-free-press-editor-drew-johnson-firing-after-shove-it-obama-headline

—ALSO—

This fired Washington Times writer told people last month NOT to vote for Cruz in Texas. He said he was a Rubio supporter. Totally biased source!

“Dear Texas- Don’t vote for #Cruz. If he loses TX, he gets out & #Rubio has a head-to-head with #Trump. That’s the only way Trump could lose.— Drew Johnson (@Drews_Views) February 26, 2016”

Romney endorsed Rubio, so did Haley now they endorse Cruz.
I don’t see a conspiracy here.

So Cruz was an F’ing liar when he openly accused “Trump and his henchmen” of spreading the (true) “rumors”?

LOL. One of the best recent arguments I've heard for supporting Cruz.
