"Given the $500,000 gift to my campaign,
my staff will dress as a 'judge' and will
gladly sleep with Ted Cruz and any of his rats."

A super PAC that launched a smear ad on Melania Trump in Utah has been linked to former GOP presidential candidate and Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.
According to Breitbart, the Make America Awesome PAC, which ran the smear ad in Utah about Melania’s nude modeling, is run by political consultant Liz Mair.
Unfortunately, Mair isn’t that bright. On Make America Awesome’s website, it tells potential donors, “If you would like to donate by mail, send checks to: Make America Awesome PO Box 26141 Alexandria, VA 22313.”
Problem: P.O. Box 26141 is also the mailing address for Carly for America, the official organization for Fiorina’s former presidential campaign. It’s since been re-purposed as a general-issue political action committee.
Whoops.
Mair’s advertisement touched off a Twitter war between the Cruz and Trump campaigns over each candidate’s wives, during which Cruz has vigorously accused Trump of playing dirty. Fiorina, for her part, has been an ardent supporter of Cruz’s campaign these last few weeks, linking the original smear ad back to Cruz for the first time.
The smear advertisement against Melania (it’s disgusting and underhanded enough that we’re not going to show it here; I assure you that you can find it easily enough on Facebook if you’re so inclined) also managed to incur the wrath of some liberals who felt that it was “shaming” Melania.
Mair was open about the fact that she didn’t actually believe in the ad’s content, she just wanted to win.
…and we have indicators that for them, Melania posing nude is disturbing and bothersome. I'm fine w her having done it, but they're not.

And if that wasn’t enough, here’s a more succinct summation of Mair’s moral scruples on the issue.
.@emilycrockett I'm fine w Melania's prior work. But I'm not a Mormon woman. I also want to defeat her husband.

Lovely. Of course, you, loyal reader, could argue that Mair paid for the ads; can we really prove collaboration between Fiorina and Mair?
While we can’t definitively prove it, we can come pretty close. See, Make America Awesome’s filings with the FEC show that, on its own, the PAC doesn’t have enough money to Make America Even Slightly Different Than Before. It only lists seven donors who gave over $200, in 2015-16, for a total of only $2,000. (That will pay for the post office box, but not a whole lot more.)
Fiorina made a bold stand for women’s issues during the campaign, pointing out Hillary Clinton’s “war on women” on multiple occasions. It’s a shame to see her, acting as a surrogate for Ted Cruz, maligning Donald Trump’s wife as a sort of modern-day Jezebel to get votes.
In one simple act, both Mair and Fiorina have thrown away whatever scruples and decency they may have had. If it turns out a desperate Ted Cruz is behind this, too, we can only say the same for him.
Please like and share on Facebook and Twitter if you agree this smear campaign is disgraceful.
ok now, all this makes sense.
Looks like we can add Carly to Rubio and Mitt as reject candidates hoping for a do-over at the convention.
Isn't there something un Christian about these criticisms?
Seductive nudity is not a Christian value.
Yes, this was debunked two days ago within hours of it first coming out. It’s the address of a firm that handles account for many political groups.
Trump’s henchmen in the blogosphere counting on the fact that many Trump fans don’t keep up with the news.
Chris Marston, Alexandria VA, Election CFO LLC, looks like GOPe lock, stock, and barrel.
Here's my take on Mrs. Trump: she gives Donald sex and Donald gives her money. What that makes her, I won't bother saying.
Bush’s fault.
What that makes you is a judgemental fool.
You know what is in people’s hearts?
Your assessment is shallow. Ted Cruz marries his wife and what we know about her is that she worked for Bush and investment bankers, she was so focused on her career they lived apart—worshipping money and power——and she ended up depressed sitting on the side of the road. Are you judging what is in her heart?
I’m not. Marriage is hard. I don’t judge how others navigate THOSE waters. Evidently God has touched you with special powers.
Frankly, if I were the FEC, I’d be up this company’s butt with a rectal audit.
Bears repeating!
"Given the $500,000 gift to my campaign,

hmmmmm.......Carly at the center of the Mrs. Trump nudies AND the Cuban Mistress Crisis. Quite an operator that one.
Carly Fiorina will go down in history as the kiss of death to three political campaigns in one year.
Hers.
Rubio’s.
Cruz’s.
“it’s disgusting and underhanded enough that we’re not going to show it here....”
Oh please get over it. It was the COVER photo of a magazine, and the way she was “wearing” the bear rug showed less skin than a bathing suit would. Neither the ad nor the photo are disgusting. She looked darn good.
The rights and reprint requests and fees for pictures in magazines like G.Q. by the media rights company that specializes in that. The information is all computerized. This is not the 1950’s where there were warehouses of filing cabinets full of paper, and some poor clerk gets tasked with looking through them when a request comes in. The information is instantly available at the media rights company as to “Did anyone make a request?”, “If so, what were the requested details as to who, requested usage, price quoted, etc.” . Did the request get approved, who approved it, when was it approved.
Do you understand all of that?
Trump has the connections and authority to instantly find out from the media licensing company all the above information. The fact that he has not come out with any formal statement on this is HARD IRREFUTABLE SMOKING GUN PROOF THAT NO ONE DID, else he would have run with it.
But instead he continues to lie his ass off, like he did in an late day radio interview yesterday, telling the woman interviewer that Cruz put out the picture, and when challenged by the interviewer responds, "Why don't you find out who bought rights to the picture", knowing damn well the only thing out there are the garbage stories based on a no-name twitter post (since deleted so the creator does not get sued) saying it was Jeff Roe.
Trump has shown himself to be sleazy liar.
You have no clue what Trump has.... so who is the sleazy liar.
The links are correlated as above, but also more importantly, Lizzie was a DC Azerbijiani LOBBYIST. This makes more sense because DT’s Muslim immigration rant could p-off his business partner, the anti-journalist, oppressive oligarch of Azerbijiani.

She works as a high profile, well paid lobbyist representing Azerbaijan in Washington DC, earning about $15,000 a month to “provide strategic counsel to the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan.”
Here’s the link to her filing with the U.S. Department of Justice documenting her work as a foreign agent for Baku:

Trump Tarnishes Image for a Fistful of Dollars in Azerbaijan

Harut Sassounian 12 August 2015 excerpt:
A few years ago when Trump agreed to lend his name to a hotel in Azerbaijan, he could not have predicted that associating with a notorious Baku oligarch would not only reflect negatively on his political ambitions, but also create a serious conflict of interest should he become President.
Trump’s recently filed financial disclosures, a requirement for presidential candidates, revealed that his company received $2.5 million from Baku in 2014, even though the hotel is slated to open its doors later this year.

Azerbaijan: Staying Mum on Trump’s Call for a Muslim Travel Ban
December 17, 2015 - 5:38pm, by Durna Safarova excerpt:
http://www.eurasianet.org/node/76606
The vocal response in the Gulf, as well as in Turkey, to Trump’s call for a Muslim travel ban contrasts sharply with the muted reaction in Azerbaijan. State-controlled mass media has largely avoided the topic, and representatives of the Azerbaijani government have not commented publically on Trump’s inflammatory statements.

Hotel Project in Muslim Country Mysteriously Vanishes From Donald Trump’s Website
Russ Choma Thu Dec. 10, 2015 excerpt:
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/12/azerbaijan-hotel-vanishes-from-donald-trumps-website
In July, a representative for Trump Hotel and Tower in Baku told Mother Jones that the hotel would open by the end of the year. The building appeared to be complete, and job postings suggested that staff were being hired for the property. But sometime this fall the Baku hotel disappeared from the Trump Hotel Collection.

Follow this money trail.
Where's Trump's proof? Where is any hard proof? If Trump had it, his hair trigger temper would have produced it.
BINGO!
How refreshing! Someone with a functioning brain that they actually used themselves! Wow!
Has anyone brought up the possibility that the $500,000 from Cruz’s PAC to Fiorina’s PAC was actually a bribe to BUY CARLY’S ENDORSEMENT ??
These Super PACs aren’t required to give the money back when the candidate drops out. The principals involved in the PACs KEEP THE MONEY.
Anyone with half a brain could see that Fiorina wasn’t going to win the nomination, so why would anyone — specifically an opponent — give her PAC $500,000 ?
Two options come to mind: Bribe for Carly’s endorsement when she dropped out, or hush-money for Cruz mistress.
What other motives are realistic?
So the money Cruz gave to Carly was used either as hush money or for TV ads to attack Trumps wife? I’m not sure which excuse is better? Lyin Ted!
