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.

Yep. I wouldn’t get a tattoo.
Your response involves the political ramifications of his answer rather than its believability.
And remember, trump has changed the rules. Telling them to shove it is the new right answer.

enjoy.
Ted won’t just come right out and say that there’s no truth to the story - nor has he indicated that he’s willing to take the National Enquirer to court for libel and defamation of character.
An innocent person would have already done both.
Repeating over and over that, “the charges are garbage”, is as weak a defense as we’ve ever seen any politician make, who’s been accused of such behavior. Experience alone should tell you that he’s already signaling his guilt, given his sorry responses to this scandal.
Friend, this discussion isn’t about the sins of other politicians or candidates. It’s about whether or not one Ted Cruz committed adultery against his wife, Heidi.
He either did, or he didn’t.
Given his handling of the scandal, and his inadequate responses to date, most people are apparently concluding that the charges are true.
That is all.
And yet not one woman has come forward, he’s right ...the story is garbage!!!
He has faked his entire campaign by pretending to be a good Christian family man. The fulfillment of Dominionism and Mormonism. He is just one more fake TV evangelist/ lawyer/politician.
That’s your opinion...based on nothing!!!!
Not as if anybody is going to care, I mean nobody cared about Clinton's indiscretions, most people assume politicians cheat.
His responses have been perfectly adequate to any one who looks at it reasonably. Your opinion would not change no matter what he would say. And you would defend Trump no matter what he says or does!!!
they all lie and cheat, even if they pronounce themselves as the second coming.
Even when prompted to do so - on camera - Ted Cruz refused to state that he’s always been faithful to his wife, Heidi.
A person has to be incredibly blinded by unblinking devotion to fail to see that as anything but evasion and a tacit admission of guilt.
