[Mr. K]

no, it just shows this story had roots before Trump was even around.

nothing earth shattering.

[montag813]

Two huge issues that make no sense:

(1) Why was she being paid 2.3 times other people in her position (a salary Cruz alone determines)?
(2) Why on Earth would she leave Cruz's campaign just a few months after he announced, when she would have been first in line for WH press secretary had he been elected?

Did her husband make her quit?

[Black Agnes]

Wasn’t aware I had a tagline.

[Stentor]

Just because it’s an old article, doesn’t make it irrelevant.

"Old news" is the Moveon.Org tactic of the Krintons. Cruz support is just the other face of the Krinton mindset.

THE DELEGATE RACE MATH ~ 35% of the primary election race remains.

Trump won 7,825,264 votes -—> 755 delegates.

T.Cruz won 5,737,119 votes —-> 465 delegates.

~~Countdown to 1237 delegates~~

There are 895 hard delegates remaining of which some are free/soft delegates. Some delegates have already been won by other candidates. We have 808 new delegates ‘up for grabs’ in the upcoming races.

Donald Trump: 755 delegates won. He must win 482 more delegates to reach 1237. That is 59% of the 808 remaining hard delegates. He may lose 397 more delegates & still win 1237.

Ted Cruz: 465 delegates won. He must win 772 more delegates to reach 1237. That is 96% of the 808 remaining hard delegates. He may lose 36 more delegates & still win 1237.

The current rules set a goal of reaching a simple majority of the delegates combined with a majority win of eight state delegations. When no candidate earns the majority of delegates, the rules change significantly.

I may post the August and December stuff too.

Please do. Don't listen to the MoveOn.Orgeites.

ginger?

[Stand Watch Listen]

THEN (1998):

Bill:"...But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time;never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people..."

NOW (2016):

Ted:'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?'

His practised answer stuck to the more limited denial that the National Enquirer story was false, calling it 'complete garbage.

"It is total lies, it was planted by Donald Trump's henchmen, and I don't think the people of Wisconsin or the people of America have any interest in tabloid trash."

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'

We should have looked at this when the story broke.
I assumed she still worked for him, bet never really followed his campaign much when I realized he is not qualified.

Was she there in Iowa with his campaign when she tweeted that Carson had left the race?

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

She started working for him early 2013 according to the article.

She leaves > three months after he launches his campaign.

hmmmm.

Never mind the text; just watch the clip.

[dangus]

Assanine. You’re right that her departure was probably involuntary.

But you failed to mention that your guess was after Lesbian, druggy, embezzler, traitor.

Give someone five guesses as what sort of scandal could cause a sudden departure from a campaign the guesser hates, it’d be kinda weird if “affair” DIDN’T crack the top 5.

Of course, all sort of NON-SCANDAL reasons for departure were NOT listed:

* Employee exhibited poor judgment.
* Didn’t want to spend the entire next 18 months constantly living out of an airplane.
* Incompetence.
* Employer decided to go with someone more big-time.
* Employer wanted a national perspective.
* Employer/ attractive Employee didn’t want to share hotel bookings together for the next 18 months because a wife doesn’t need to be the suspicious type to find that sort of arrangement unfortunate.

[beandog]

Who, the Donald’s wife?

[Bob434]

[[The longer it takes for some proof to come out, the worse it is going boomarang back and the Trump-Stone-Pecker smear alliance is going to be called into question more and more.]]

Agreed- there is no proof coming out- not even a hint of proof- just more innuendo and ‘hints’ that ‘snitches’ and ‘political operatives who shall remain nameless’ are ‘looking into allegations’ so they can draw this non story hit piece out for months and watch as the gullible gobble it up as though it’s gospel truth

I did NOT try and chase you away. I am glad to ever read differing facts and more information from what I may know.

I just don't care to believe the tabloid stuff you posted here. But the delegate facts are certainly facts. Good on ya.

The tabloid stuff ? I am just tired of it. But glad you like it, and many others here also love it , especially since Trump started running for office.

Good luck with your future endeavors, and possibly paid gigs posting on a website like this. I will simply choose to skip reading anything else you post. No harm, no foul.

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

My guess 10 months ago? I just heard of her last week.

Odd that she gets that line of attack, before she has even formally left the office. And funny that the journalist affair with potus contender surfaces two months later on another website.

just saying Trump did not create the problem.

Maybe all the personal tweeting finished her off:

Don’t hold your breath.

John Edwards and Reilly Hunter’s story took months.

Of course, we all know that Trump was the grand puppeteer behind their story!

And it never actually happened if she had not become pregnant. Dream on guys.

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

This has been a charade of a primary election. The race is such a lopsided win for Trump that it’s ludicrous to suggest otherwise. We are stuck with a non-winner trying to steal delegates from a winner that’s way out in front on so many levels and issues.

Team Cruz is good at weaseling wins in small caucus states known for their oddball vote counting methods and lack of exit polling.
Cruz won:
Virgin Islands by 30 votes
Wyoming by 480 votes
Alaska by 600 votes
Maine by 2,500.
(that total is less than our high school)

Ted’s votes from his 9 wins.

Wyoming 620 people
Virgin Isl 200 people
Alaska... 8,400
Maine.... 8,500
Kansas. 35,000
Iowa.... 52,000
Utah.. 122,00
Okie. 158,000
He won eight states totaling 385,000 votes.
If it wasn’t for Texas, he’d have a pile of beans.

Ted’s lackluster Texas win, Texas 1,239,393.
Cruz’s winning votes in nine states are 1,724,000.
Cruz won 9 states with 1,724,000 votes

Trump won 21 states, and nearly all the states were won by tens or hundreds of thousands of votes. The millions that have attended his rallies have voted.
Marianas (343).... Hawaii 6K
Vermont 20K.... Nevada 35K
Kentucky 83K.... N. H. 101K
Louisiana 125K.... Arkansas 133K
Mississipi 191K.... South Car 241K
Arizona 250K.... Mass. 311K
Tenn. 333K.... Virginia 356K
AlaBama. 372K.... Missouri 382K
N. Carol 458K.... Michig. 483K
Georgia 503K.... Illinois 557K
And FLorida 1,079,741

Trump won 21 states with 6,020,000 votes. He has a total of 7,897,990 votes and 755 delegates. Thats 290 more than Ted.

Cruz’s only way to prevail now is by pure chicanery, just how he began this campaign. It is impossible now for him to have a clean delegate win.

Note, they just updated the Idaho page and its 100K Cruz, will update totals.
