if the same suit had been filled under the same circumstances agains Cruz it would have been not only posted multiple times on FR, but most Trump supporters would have believe it and beleive it to their grave

I know the story you mean, and I had the same reaction, including that some angry Trump supporters would believe it forever. I find it sad that even conservatives are that easily manipulated by the media. CNN, MSNBC, NPR, and the rest want us to hate each other, and they are playing up any story that will split the Trump and Cruz voters. Some Trump voters are way past the point where they are no longer rational about Cruz, and the same is true but to a much lesser extent about Cruz voters.

Part of their anger is because Cruz won't drop out. I won't go into detail yet online, but I voted for Trump a week ago and I am more grateful than I can express that Cruz is still in the race. Part of the reason is that Trump will have enough delegates for the first ballot, so it won't matter, while Cruz is choosing more reliably conservative delegates. Trump isn't considering much other than the delegate's pledge to vote Trump. Having Cruz still in the race makes it much harder for Jeb/Rubio/Kasich to replace Trump with a pro-Amnesty candidate, and the Trump voters are missing what Cruz contributes to that entire dynamic of the convention.

This is the differenece, a news story printed in the mainstream media no matter how disreputable the details of story are doesn't even come close to compare with a front page soon proven flase story form the front page of a supermarket tabloid in a Trump world. I had Trump people tell me that Trumps adultery was nothing and a private mater (Shade of Bill Clinton anyone?)by the same people who trumpeted the tabloid story on Cruz as gospel.

Trump people are making a hero out of Boehner, Cruz stood on the Senate Floor and call out Mitch McConnell for the despicable lair that he is. You tell me what takes more courage to tweeter that a man is a liar or make the claim at a rally in front of thousands of adoring fans or to stand on the mans home field and call him out?

We are about to see life imitate fiction with a altered ending:

Lonesome Rhodes: Rednecks, crackers, hillbillies, hausfraus, shut-ins, pea-pickers - everybody that's got to jump when somebody else blows the whistle. They don't know it yet, but they're all gonna be 'Fighters for Fuller'. They're mine! I own 'em! They think like I do. Only they're even more stupid than I am, so I gotta think for 'em.
