Donald Trump Blames Ted Cruz for Spat Leading up to National Enquirer Report
ABC News ^ | 3/27/2016 | Nicki Rossoll

Posted on 03/27/2016 7:55:53 AM PDT by GilGil

Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump blamed rival Ted Cruz for starting a spat leading up to a report in the National Enquirer claiming "political operatives" are looking into rumors that the Texas senator had multiple marital infidelities.

Trump again denied he or his campaign had anything to do with the National Enquirer report. Cruz on Friday had blamed the report on Trump and his "henchmen" while forcefully denying the report.

"I had nothing to do with it. The campaign had absolutely nothing to do with it," Trump told ABC's Jonathan Karl on "This Week" Sunday. "I have over control over the National Enquirer."

Why would they do that to their guy?

Because he's not "their guy" He's their sacrificial hostage. They hate him too as much as they do Trump. When they can no longer use him...he will be "terminated".

If the RINOs are clever enough to pull this off, they will succeed in destroying both of them. (of course it may backfire)

Amanda Carpenter has now DELETED ALL of her tweets prior to March 1 of this year.

A couple days ago, she had tweets on her Twitter page going back to at least 2014, and I personally saw the tattoo tweets on April 1, 2014.

even though Trump won in Louisiana, Cruz weaseled 10 delegates more, even though he lost in Louisiana

According to this official results report: http://louisiana.state-election.info/

Trump received 18 delegates and Cruz receive 18 delegates.

Is 18 ten more than 18? LOL.

Why is Cruz stone walling the FEC investigation? Did the Cruz PAC use the picture illegally or was it purchased?

“that no one should vote for Carley Fiorina because she was ugly?”

Trump said no such thing. Why lie about it?

“EXCLUSIVE: Liz Mair’s Anti-Trump Super PAC Has Same Mailing Address as Carly Fiori’na’s Campaign”

These little tidbits of information continue to add up.

And turned her head away from Ted when he tried to kiss her.

She is going into the cover up mode.

A woman on Fox News this morning confirmed that the story has been in the media’s hands for “months” now. She also confirmed that it was initially shopped around by both Rubio’s people and some “anti-Trump” people. She said the anti-Trump people were ALSO anti-Cruz people, but they were definitely not pro-Trump people. She also said it was unclear how the info got into the hands of the National Enquirer, but it has been in the hands of media for months, so it is not new news.

So the Cruz campaign is probably no worse than others.

As the old saying goes, all is fair in love, war, and politics.

Cruz supporters though, think a travesty has been committed, and it has. With the blatant attack on Trump's wife that is directly tied to helping him win the majority vote in Utah and securing all 40 delegates.

Like the Federal Government refuses to know the Muslim enemy, Ted Cruz fails to know his enemies. Either Cruz had no extra-marital affairs, or he thought he had that issue contained. Either way, messing with Trump has always proven to have the opposite affect then what was intended.

There’s definitely some cognitive dissonance here...how long have those on the right bit*hed about the fact that ‘Pubs don’t fight back...then whined that it’s not seemly when Trump does?

I doubt most people know what it takes to fight. It's not clean, it's not pretty, it's best not to get involved if you have a thin skin or a fragile ego.

You clearly do not have much court experience. Anything can happen in court unless you have unlimited resources. Nothing is obvious in court and fairness least of all.

Thank goodness for that.

However, I'm well aware of the fact that anything could happen there.

But if Ted is being honest about his not having had extra-marital affairs, it would benefit him more than merely denying it. Merely denying it might sway a few that have not formed opinions already one way or the other, but not as many as would be swayed by him suing the National Enquirer.

I have had court experience more than I wish. I have seen cases where we had the murder weapon, pictures of the murderer killing the person, witnesses, and videos and somehow the murderer gets away.

If there is nothing to the Cruz accusations the story will simply die down in the next few days never to resurface. No need to even worry about it!
