If Cruz is not the trustworthy, uber Christian, who is running on his values, then what else does Cruz offer?

This has been smoldering in the background for quite a while and it doesn’t look like Trump had much, or anything, to do with it. You can bet that IF Cruz ever became the nominee this would have been used against him. So be glad it coming out now. He can deal with it now. The alternative would have been to deal with during the general campaign.

It’s like this... as a Trump voter, I can guarantee you that if this was about Trump and it was recent like this appears to be with Cruz, then I wouldn’t be supporting Trump. A person who runs for president — or any political office like senator or rep — is asking his/her voters to trust in him.

If all this about cruz is true, that he’s been doing all this with 8 or more women all this time, then it’s more than just a simple “affair.” It’s a sickness. And very blackmailable, i might add.

Not.at.all.

And I support Trump over Cruz. I would still vote for Cruz over after Trump over any of the other fecal establishment slime.

Eh, I frankly haven’t seen anything all that convincing yet. Just a bunch of gutter-trash silliness.

But if it’s true? Well, I guess I’ll have to conclude Cruz is some kind of moral degenerate. But where does that put me? Trump has demonstrated he’s more than a bit of a moral degenerate as well, whose personality often elicits an additional dosage of revulsion in me.

Oh, well. I’ll just sit back and continue to derive some kind of warped humor out of watching the pathetic, ugly remnants of this once-great country succumb in its death-spiral. At least, until the ferals reach my doorstep and put a bullet in my head.

If the charges are true, I would be disappointed in Cruz. But in the context of this election....? Which of the other candidates do you propose to hold up as a paragon of virtue on sexual issues?

I don't care if the charges are true or not. The thing is that cruz held himself up to be a paragon of virtue. Trump has never held that attitude about himself. That right there is what insulates Trump from these types of attacks. He's been pretty open and honest about his past. And he's been pretty open and honest that it's in the past. Not Cruz.

Thank you. If you don’t mind i want to read it again!


<< If Cruz got the nomination, and wins, we get amnesty. Guaranteed.

If they get Ryan/Romney/Kasick in, we get amnesty.

If they all lose to hillary, or any dem, we get amnesty.

Seems to me, the ONLY ONE standing up against this monster, is TRUMP.

That is ALL I’m focused on currently. Forget the chicks, it’s his problem to work out, not mine. >>

What is odd to me is if the allegations are true dont’ you think if you were going to run for President especially being a Republican that this stuff would come out and possibly do damage to your campaign?

Every election cycle you have good ole Larry Flint willing to pay money to get the goods on republicans. I guess the politicians really are out of touch.

“If true I think that Ted Cruz should immediately abandon his quest for the presidentcy.”

You seem to know your Bible. Can you tell me if God was wrong to allow David to continue to serve as King after the Bathsheba incident?

If they are proven to be true, we should care very much. If he can’t be faithful to his wife, how can we expect him to be faithful to our country?

Do you support Trump?

tough statement, but beautifully and succinctly put. Reminds me that I have been too involved in the world recently with all this politics and have not made my usual time for God. Thank you for reminding me what is important.

Sadly, Trump is for amnesty as well—”touchback” amnesty, which was the form of it that the GOPe tried to trick its base into supporting about a decade ago.

I don't believe I've ever heard a rumor on John Kasich

Well, there's this: When they were in Congress, John Kasich, Gary Condit and Joe Scarborough purportedly chased women together.

Condit was banging Chandra Levy when she was murdered...and he got hung up in the investigation. Kasich and Scarborough abruptly resigned from Congress. Then, a young lady staffer was found mysteriously dead in one of Scarborough's local Florida offices.

Nothing was ever pinned on Kasich, but his running buddies were dodging a lot of flak.

True that we shouldn’t care because in the long run, it’s not what matters however, Cruz is using his family life and Christian standing to win elections.

Now I never liked that to begin with but if these allegations are true, Cruz has been winning with lies, even more egregious lies.

I did not write your quote, bu the answer is easy.

It is obviously a human failure that he thought he was smarter than the rest of us.

The same reason people steal, embezzle and murder.

Gary Hart, Clinton, JFK LBJ.....an old and often told story.

Watch out for those smooth talking guys. Politicians and preachers have something in common—their gift for persuasion, that can get them a lot of perks.

I wish Trump weren’t for amnesty too, but he is—for “touchback” amnesty.

I’m for Trump at this point over Cruz, however, because I think a solid first ballot victory is the only thing that will keep the GOPe from stealing the nomination at the convention.

All Cruz could do right now is throw it to the GOPe by thwarting Trump.
