Please take the time to check out Joe Dan Gorman’s latest video here:

The whole thing is worth watching but there’s some real meat on Cruz beginning around the 8 minute mark!
While I will vote for him if he is the guy, my fear is that Cruz IS JUST ANOTHER JUDAS GOAT!

PS: As it is, after all, Easter Sunday, I hesitated to send this today. But as many of you may be home for the day and have time to see it, I did so. My rationale is that this election is without doubt THE most important in our lifetimes. If we mess up this one, you can say farewell to these purely religious celebrations but the idea of America. And just because I keep saying that doesn’t make it any less true.

Read the story. Trump is waking back saying it was a Cruz ad. Trump must certainly has been saying that.

Cruz is just trying to hide his problems by talking about something else, which he does often.

Exactly, which even this whole scandal is.

It's taking the focus off of him being a Canadian. That's a real serious problem for him.

I've been saying all along that Cruz should have made the following statements:

1.) "I have been faithful to my wife Heidi."

2.) "I have never had an affair, nor a mistress or mistresses."

3.) "I demand an immediate apology and retraction of this story by the National Enquirer, otherwise I will direct my attorneys to pursue legal action against their publication."

Cruz' problem is not with Donald Trump, it is with the National Enquirer.

His failure to respond forcefully and without equivocation speaks volumes.

He has. On multiple occasions. Adamantly. You simply choose to not listen, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.


You have a link? Everything I have seen has him denying the “allegations” while smearing Trump. There’s a good reason Cruz is not saying he has been completely faithful to his wife and you know exactly why.

That is true. An innocent person’s first reaction is -I am innocent. With Cruza it is someone else’s fault like CNN’s. Hell, he refused to own up t5o anything in Iowa. Why does his daughter appear almost afraid of him?

Cruz obviously not being a US NBC is my number 1 problem with him but others have surfaced since I identified that one.

Well, that’s certainly one unique way of saying ‘Ted is a sex crazed poodle’.
Except with him it's not about sex, it's about power.

Your little role play is based on a false premise. Now even your Glorious Tweeter is walking back "Cruz did it". It's now "Cruz knew about it". You need to keep up...

Really? Trump said "From what I hear, he and his campaign went out and bought the cover shoot.

Seems pretty clear to me he said Cruz did it.

Sharp as it was, however, it was strikingly weak in terms of denial, and strong in terms of attack. And that combination is a telltale sign of deception that leads us to conclude that this is a matter that warrants further investigation.


Yes Cruz’ responce was very Clinton like

go on the attack and blame ....the vast right-wing / vast Trump-wing..... conspiracy

I had to laugh when a Cruzer here just yesterday was already saying let’s “move on”.... with no sense of irony

....aka ...the origins of the group and its name ...of the infamous ..”moveon.org”...in the Clinton sex scandals

“Let me be clear. I did not have sex with that woman.” - Bill Clinton

That’s a pretty big denial and turns out he was lying. And I don’t think he attacked anyone.

Look for yourself, but they’re not on Trump’s Twitter feed or website.

They are on here, but I no longer hand hold Trump supporter demands for links for everything, since they then criticize me for reposting.

Phil’s not a stupid man, he just got lost in the religious hype for a while and now that the veil of hype has been removed... well, I see Ted’s political career sinking faster than the titanic as more and more former endorsers renounce him.

No one would believe Cruz if he did say that. And maybe he didn’t say it because it’s not really true. He and Heidi are a political couple. Maybe they had an arrangement. Or maybe they had a rough patch (or 5) and he sinned. Christians do that - sin and ask forgiveness. Except Donald Trump that is. He doesn’t ask forgiveness. On the contrary, he writes and boasts extensively about his unfaithful sexual conquests.

That said, yes, Cruz comes off as deceptive on this one.

He may have been thinking of “rats” that spill the beans in a veiled threat to the women involved.

It’s a reference to “ratf*cker” — the nickname given Roger Stone because of his political tactics. Cruz didn’t make the term up.

Theo, the phrase indeed is “ratf*cker” but how stupid can Cruz be as to sublimate his beta maleness and use the word 'copulate' instead? REAL men are not afraid to use the F-word when it is appropriate and I can't think of a more appropriate situation to use it when responding to allegations of marital infidelity against one's wife.

If Cruz had said "look, I think Donald Trump is f--kin' with me, but I have no desire to f--k with him", 99 percent of the people reading or hearing that statement would understand it completely and probably agree with Cruz.

But good God man, Cruz must be politically tone deaf if he thought that it would be ok for him to say that he "doesn't have any desire to copulate with Trump"?!?

Cruz is afraid to man up, legally and literally.
