If you actually believe that the issue under discussion in this piece is the marital faithfulness of Donald Trump, I would say that you haven’t been following this story very carefully.
To bring you up to speed,Ted Cruz and his henchmen (and woman if you want to throw Fiorina in with them) is that Ted Cruz has been slandered by Donald Trump for planting a false story in the National Inquirer that posted the 5 pixilated pics of woman who they say he had a sexual relationship with when married.
Various anti-Trump media people (Kristen Powers from FOX and some character from The Daily Beast, among others) have reliable sources who say that Trump was uninvolved with the story, and that it came from Rubio’s camp.
But the important point of this piece is that Ted Cruz (and the Reverend Glenn Beck) have been righteously proclaiming that it’s all a dastardly lie perpetrated by Trump. The anti-Trump media predictably promotes the the Cruz line and reports to its Kool-Aid drinking fans that it’s all Donald Trump’s fault.
So, if you didn’t know all that, then I could well understand why you might treat this story as a back and forth between to scalawags, or worse. But if none of what I’ve relayed to you was a surprise, and yet you still posted the message that you did, then you should feel quite comfortable in joining with the rest of the media who are doing everything humanly posit;e to avoid talking about some of the real issues that are destroying America.
If it were not for Donald Trump, the topics of illegal immigration, the Second Amendment, Islamic terrorism, political correctness, PACs controlling elections, corporatists influencing congress, one-sided trade agreements that are stealing our jobs, the need to dramatically revising NATO....and I could go on with about 20 or more other issues that he raised and would NEVER be discussed at all in this election by the political bums (Carson was an exception) that had entered the race.
None of these topics would be on the table were it not for Trump. But the media has their saps that pay attention to them and engage in debating topics like which candidate is less faithful to their wife. Hopefully the majority of Americans will realize that this is our last chance. Unfortunately, I don’t think the will.
Cruz affiliates released the nude photo of Trump’s wife Melania to goad Trump, who obliged by saying he’d “spill the beans about Cruz’s wife”. This prompted outrage and indignation from Cruz, “Leave my wife the hell alone!”
Then comes the Nat’l Enq. article. An article shopped around for some time, allegedly by persons associated with Rubio. What doesn’t anyone investigate that? Why is Cruz silent on that? Because it doesn’t support Cruz’s “New York values” narrative.
Cruz knew this was coming. To get out in front of it he set up a narrative. It’s a campaign maneuver by Cruz to deflect questions and to attack Trump.
He had his chance today:
‘Senator I’m sorry, this is a very serious question about your character,’ the second question came. ‘Will you just – if the answer is, “Yes, I’ve always been faithful to my wife,” can you just say so please?’
He could have given a definitive statement right then and there and chose not to.
