There is no evidence that Ted Cruz attacked Donald Trump's wife.
In a normal election year, this statement would be relatively uncontroversial. After all, it's true. Yes, there was an ad that ran in Utah, suggesting that because she had posed for provocative modeling photos, she was somehow unfit to be first lady. But, no, that ad was not from the Cruz campaign. It was from the Make America Awesome super PAC, a group that raises and spends money without input from any candidate, including Cruz.
How do I know that? Well, I know that if such a political action committee were to coordinate with Cruz -- say, by running an ad at his behest -- it would be a federal crime. I know a presidential candidate purposefully violating federal law is almost certainly not worth the risk. I know that Cruz was going to win Utah anyway, by a wide margin, so violating federal law to win with 70 percent of the vote versus 65 percent is a particularly dumb idea.

Ted never categorically denies having the affairs, does he?<<<<
Yes he does!! He said categorically that the Story is False and all Lies!!!!
I’ve got a co-worker who thinks it hilarious to play practical jokes on people. For instance, one day Dave was scratching his nose. Our practical joker walked by and yelled out in a loud voice, “STOP PICKING YOUR NOSE, DAVE!!” Now, no matter how hard he tries to deny it, Dave has a reputation as an inveterate nose-picker.
The National Enquirer at least has some facts and will expect more next week.. We are sourcing the facts. Otherwise you are fornication with a RAT on your own. This fish has just bait the hook and getting to catch the hook and dealing him out of the water.
Trump said it's Cruz campaign that purchased rights to photo then gave to super pac.
Writer doesn’t mention the Cruz person who attacked Melania on the Cavuto show already on March 8.
The American public is so stupid they read a headline, not the article and form their opinion based upon that.
Anyone know?
Legally, campaigns cannot directly coordinate their efforts with outside super PACs, nonprofit organizations that do not have to disclose their donors. The PAC group that ran the naked Malania ad may have taken a big risk if they can be exposed. That is assuming Cruz does not take risks. The eligibility problem certainly is one liability that Cruz has risked and has not yet been fully addressed. We don't even know if his mother was still an American citizen when he was born. And, because that little piece of information has been swept under the rug, that tells me that Cruz sweeps things he does not want known, under the rug. The fact that Cruz uses the theme, TrusTED tells me he is using deflection politics. He uses techniques to deflect attention away from his problems like flack is used to trick radar. When he does that you know there is a target he does not want exposed. It tells me he is the opposite, that he is UNtrusTED.
You need to catch up. Cruz’s campaign manager Jeff Roe, is the one who got the license to use the photo.
Cruz campaign = obtained photo rights
PAC = paid for the ad
See? That’s a no-no! Somebody got some splainin’ to do!
But they’re got bigger scandals to tend to right now...
No. He didn't specifically deny sleeping with any of those women. He used broad attorney terms.
Do you even know what "WATERGATE" was really all about ? I doubt it.
LINK?
I didn’t see the segment, but I read that Cruz went on the FOX Sunday show and spoke of what a horrible person Trump is.
Washington Post garbage. This crap rag is beyond reasonable anything.
Have you ever gotten a good answer to this?
I’ve seen people reply, but they all have seemed to miss the point.
Lies. As usual. The Post starts with a lie, adds a few lies, and concludes with a lie.
Well let’s see. Jeff Roe teds campaign manager purchased the publication rights from GQ of the photo in question.
Walks like a duck. Quacks like a duck
GQ verified that Jeff Roe teds campaign manager purchased publication rights
