This thing is unraveling and Ted Cruz will be toast within a week. Hope Cruz’s handlers have enough hush money to keep a lid on this.

Prepare yourself.

Congrats on posting that so quickly! But we already knew it.

Trump has lots of friends, so what? By the way, where are Lyin’ Teds friends, lining up to say he’s never do such things?

That’d be problematic since for all the talk of “garbage” and how offended he and his family are, he hasn’t yet come right out and said he didn’t have sex with these women.

Amanda Carpenter’s sister-in-law has come out publicly and admitted that the allegations about her are true. And just six years ago, Nasty Mandy herself was praising the National Enquirer when it was breaking the John Edwards mistress story.

Nice try: From the parent article linked below;

“Trump’s spokesperson, Hope Hicks, told me “there’s absolutely no truth” to the claim Trump was behind the article. When I asked the Enquirer for comment, Pecker said it was “utterly false” that the Trump campaign was their source. “We did what the National Enquirer has always done, our investigative reporters went back and poured through numerous legal documents to discover the details that led to our exclusive coverage of malpractice claims against Ben Carson,” he said in a statement.”

The claim:
““They’re very close,” said a source close to the Enquirer. In July 2013, Trump even tweeted that Pecker should become CEO of Time magazine, which at the time was being spun off from its corporate parent, Time Warner. “He’d make it exciting and win awards!”

This person also said that Trump’s campaign was a source for the article: “His campaign provided information that was used,” he explained.”

Two named sources to one unnamed source. But Cruz’s denials are sacrosanct.

Cruz was just jealous that Rubio had a “Gang of 8” and he didn’t.

Rubio’s camp was shopping this story to the media for quite some time, it appears. Even going as far as sending some of them video evidence and then having his campaign manager advise via Twitter that ‘those in possession of ‘The Thing’ should not be worried about legal reprucussions’ - offering tactics to hide the discovery.

Wow, shocking! /s
Trump, unlike Calgary Ted, is an engaging guy who has a lot of friends. It would not surprise me if he was at least on friendly terms with many publishers of major publications, perhaps even friends for years. Trump and the company both say Trump had nothing to do with this. It seems to me this is just more typical Cruz deflection. Nothing is ever Calgary Ted’s own fault. It is always either the “poison pill” excuse or somebody doing him dirty.

Have you not seen all the people Ted & Heidi are "friends" with? I'm not even going to list the ABC groups; well, I can't help but mention CFR. But, I will bring up Beck & Mittens & the Bush Dynasty & Rove.

Dumbest argument. Stupid is knowing better, and doing dumb anyway.
