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.

Here’s a newsflash.
Nobody has to jump to these creeps’ tune.
Nobody OWES anything to the creeps who do this sort of stuff.
Nobody HAS to say x,y,or z because of the National Enquirer, the MEDIA writ large, DTrump or assorted flaks and henchmen.
That’s right, I said it.
How about we get a statement from Trump on the same issue. Think that would fly?
Better yet, let’s get one from hitlery and boinie. Hitlery that Chelsea is actually her daughter by Billy boy (she isn’t) and that she has never cheated on Bill. Boinie— that he never cheated on his rich wifey-poo.
To start with— regarding Cruz this is Trump people using the tabloid approach to demean and imply. Let’s turn the the question around, IF it is so important other than a simpleton’s cudgel. This is not leadership, in any case.
This entire discussion is total,utter contrived crap. Trump and Cruz have major policy issues to define— policy. Not who they’ve had “relations” with.
Someone owned her nickname Snarly Carly yesterday. Ted looked like a whipped old lady standing there. Funny how he can put his Daddy pants on ( ha ha ) and call Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor yet lets a woman do his talking for him. He’s getting his money’s worth I guess.
Rumor mill claims Mrs. Cruz had enough and has secretly taken up residence away from Ted. The first wive’s club little Melania attack plan backfired. Rubio showed his true smarmy colors, Ted is getting outed and Kasich is still in rubbing his hands together thinking it’s all going according to the plan. That’s why he never dropped out. He knew what was coming.
Politics is so darn filthy.
BTW, I never give money to rich people. They can get it from their friends. We the people don’t matter anyway.
“There’s a difference between adultery, and sexual harassment of subordinates.”
Oh? Please explain the moral difference to us.
Do you have a link? The only video that I can find there is the “copulating rat” video.
She looks very unhappy there.
And to think...... she had it all
Trump is transparent about all that, he tells the truth about it. That is the difference. Carly wants to throw stones from a glass house - it’s gonna get broke. Carly and Ted types need to learn to think ahead when attacking Trump that is something they haven’t learned.
If you can't see that one for yourself, no explanation from me or anyone else will suffice.
Guess that means you're voting for Bernie or Kasich, huh?
She's got that double secret Eva Braun Memorial blacklist to worry about.
This is just character assassination at this point.The character assassinated himself when he chose to pretend to be the holier than thou principled, consistent conservative anointed by god candidate.
“a move that would effectively end the vicious news cycle”
Bravo Sierra. It would not end anything, so why play to it, REGARDLESS of the truth or falsity of the allegations?
Then again, they may be holding it for the general as an October surprise.
How about when “YOUR GUY” commits infidelity!!!!
I seem to recall Trump speaking at Liberty as well. I guess that makes Trump’s morality/fidelity a legitimate question as well?
ProtecTED!
And a lowering of FR standards.
IS this the same thread from last night or is someone else trying to keep the story alive? How many times can one post the same story?
