Ted Cruz dodges question about whether he's 'always been faithful' to his wife as endorser Carly Fiorina leaps in to insist a declaration that he's not an adulterer is a 'dance to Donald trump's tune'

Texas senator could put National Enquirer scandal to rest with a simple statement that he has never strayed in his 14-year marriage

Instead he has batted down the supermarket tabloid's speculative story about five alleged affairs in a more limited fashion

Carly Fiorina leaped in to intercept DailyMail.com's request for a blanket statement of marital fidelity and Cruz ultimately punted on the question

Fiorina pleaded for a return to discussing issues, but lobbed her own accusation at 'serial adulterer' Donald Trump

Cruz also challenged Trump to a one-on-one debate in Wisconsin on Tuesday night: 'Why don't you show up and debate like a man?'

Ted Cruz declined to answer a question on Monday about whether he has ever been unfaithful to his wife Heidi.

'Senator Cruz,' DailyMail.com asked him, 'can you please swat down more definitively this National Enquirer piece by telling us on the record that you've never been unfaithful to your wife?'

The National Enquirer published a story last Wednesday that speculated about five women with whom the Republican presidential candidate was rumored to have had extramarital affairs.

Cruz has batted down the specifics of the story on numerous occasions since it appeared in supermarket checkout lanes.

But instead of making a blanket declaration that he has been faithful during the entirety of his 14-year marriage – a move that would effectively end the vicious news cycle – Cruz stood silently as campaign surrogate Carly Fiorina leapt in to intercept the question and change the subject.

Beck isn’t even a Christian, so that gives me pause that Cruz is so sucked up to Beck.

“Where’s your post asking “Mr. Trump, have you been unfaithful to your wives only”

I don’t have to. Trump lives in NYC; he’s answered that question a thousand times.

Sure thing partner. And I sure you can say that with a straight face — after Jimmy Carter, Bob Dole and Scott Brown have all said they prefer Trump to Cruz. Sure thing.

I think you are going to be VERY disappointed in your TEDDY BEAR!!! I think you need to start preparing yourself, this story IS going to turn out to be true, Cruz is a typical lying politician!!!!

[niki]

He has been giving pastors tickets to the rallies and having prayer meetings with the pastors after the rallies. He was even anointed at one of the rallies.

[MaxistheBest]

Cruz is just trying to milk this. He hasn’t spoken about anything else in 3 days. He manages to bring Trump/Enquirer into every answer.

That’s akin to the sin that got Herod eaten up by worms.

Herod claimed to be God. Just because Cruz does not disavow someone for them claiming that he would be the person to restore constitutional values to America, it is absurd for you to make the comparison.

[MaxistheBest]

The thing is, this video clip will be played a couple of hundred times, and he looks so bad in it, that it won’t matter whether he is lying or not. He just looks so weak.

You must be Jesus? You know every man’s heart? Trump could kill someone and his supporters wouldn’t care. God have mercy on this country. Even trump worshippers.

[PghBaldy]

Yep. I agree.

Do you think all of our candidates should be asked if they have ever been unfaithful?

For example we had 17 Republican candidates to start the campaign. Should each of those candidates at the first debate have been asked if they have ever been unfaithful to their spouses?

My biggest question about the legitimacy - and I hope there is no legitimacy - of this is that Drudge Report is not touching it.

He loves Trump and has been trying to take down Cruz at every opportunity, so why not this?

[FreeReign]

Where’s your post asking “Mr. Trump, have you been unfaithful to your wives

I don’t have to. Trump lives in NYC; he’s answered that question a thousand times.

Wow. He has been asked that "a thousand times"? I've never seen it. Well then please supply a link to support your claim.

> Do you think all of our candidates should be asked if they have ever been unfaithful?

If there’s a report about it, yes.

I know I know, the report is garbage etc.

Why isn’t anyone looking into the Rubio people alleged to have shopped the story around?

[AmericaUnited]

Because if he loses his integrity running baseless garbage, he destroys his brand and business.

Maybe, he has taken a page from the Trump free publicity book.

Heidi not Carly should have been at his side
He could then have said in the past we have had blah blah blah
But we have through Christ forgiven blah blah blah
My guess is HC is no where around .....
Not in New Jersey
not in New York
Not in wisCON-sin
not with that dork
Not with a cheesecake
Or even a Fork
Heidi ‘s a no show
She’s done popped the cork
