Ted Cruz and the ‘Cuban Mistress Crisis’–
The National Enquirer published a story last week accusing Texas Senator Ted Cruz of multiple extramarital affairs.
On Friday Ted Cruz blamed Donald Trump and his former consultant Roger Stone for the National Enquirer article on his alleged extramarital affairs.
Ted Cruz Cruz told reporters in Wisconsin the story was “all lies.” Cruz then went on to blame the article on Donald Trump and his “henchmen.” Cruz argued Roger Stone has been forwarding the article today on the internet. He thinks Trump campaign is behind this story. Cruz also said the publisher of the National Enquirer is a friend of Donald Trump’s.

What are you talking about? I never defended the NE. They suck. You MUST be talking about someone else.
next tuesday.
i’m like ted, i can make stuff up!
“If he doesn’t sue, it will be because he knows he can’t win against the NE. The NE has years of practice in smashing down slander lawsuits. They know how to write articles just so to make such lawsuits against them beatable.”
Firstly, that is defending NE and their good friend DONEald.
Defending NE to know how to make innuendo sound factual to trump-types is same as Slick’s “IS, is” defense.
Maybe you need to pull down the blinders and notice that DONEald has been scrubbing his twit and FB of anything about the NE fantasy Trump ad, because it is a bald faced lie and its killing Trump in the polls.
Well, like Lyin’ Ted I’ll just make up something else.
It’s really quite easy once you hold up yer bible!
No, it's not. It's simply defining how they operate. Saying that NE is good at beating slander lawsuits isn't defending them, it's just stating fact (does that make what they print good or true? NOPE!). If they weren't good at this kind of thing they would have been sued into oblivion by now. You can't find many instances where they actually lose a suit and get sued. There was a case in the eighties were someone beat them in a lawsuit but the person bringing the slander suit had to prove actual malice. And btw, I'm not a Trump fan (however if he gets the nomination I guess I'll vote for him).
You are right that NE skirts the libel laws. Which is even more reason no one with a whit of integrity should go along with their libeling good people and particularly being close associates.
Happy to hear I read you wrong.
As it now seems, the last friend Trump NOW wants is NE.
Thankfully his malleolus and untrue bashing of a good man, Cruz is backfiring with voters opening their eyes to the real Trump.
This whole election cycle has been extremely messy and I'll be glad when it's over.
