Trump aide fulfills threat to 'spill the beans' on Heidi Cruz
The Hill ^ | March 25, 2016 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 03/25/2016 11:59:15 AM PDT by maggief

An aide to Donald Trump on Friday fulfilled the businessman's threat to "spill the beans" on Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi.

Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson rattled off a list of attacks three days after Trump first made the threat.

"Spilling the beans is quite simple when it comes to Heidi Cruz," Pierson said in an interview with MSNBC's Steve Kornacki.

"She is a Bush operative; she worked for the architect of NAFTA, which has killed millions of jobs in this country; she was a member on the Council on Foreign Relations who — in Sen. Cruz's own words, called a nest of snakes that seeks to undermine national sovereignty; and she's been working for Goldman Sachs, the same global bank that Ted Cruz left off of his financial disclosure," Pierson said.

"Her entire career has been spent working against everything Ted Cruz says that he stands for," she added.

Likewise, I have nothing to do with the National Enquirer and unlike Lyin’ Ted Cruz I do not surround myself with political hacks and henchman and then pretend total innocence.

"Chick'n Donald Trump" said THAT??

Isn't Pecker one of Trump's BEST friends*???

Why "Chick'n Donald Trump"??
Oh! That's because he won't debate Cruz anymore because "Chick'n Trump" can't keep up with someone who's smarter, more specific, more organized, more experienced, more knowledgeable, more prepared, more moral, more truthful(!), more conservative, more diligent, and smarter than Trump.

You said, "smarter twice!"

That's because Cruz is TWICE as smart as "Chick'n Trump"

* Trump and Enquirer CEO David Pecker have been friends for years. “They’re very close,” said a source close to the Enquirer. In July 2013, Trump even tweeted that Pecker should become CEO of Time magazine, which at the time was being spun off from its corporate parent, Time Warner. “He’d make it exciting and win awards!”

Actually in your effort to hate Trump you are partially correct.

Trump most definitely cheated ( and openly) on Ivana with Marla Maples. Well known and talked about at the time.

His marriage to Maples ended and was in divorce court before he ever started dating Melania.

Is it awful? Oh I am sure it is.. Tsk Tsk Tsk all you want. I thought the point of Bill Clinton’s ridiculous behavior was that the electorate doesn’t care about this anymore.

NOTE BENE: Trump’s spokesman excoriated the Nat Enq for their trashy tabloid story.

“Aww look. More attacks on a candidate’s wife. How wonderfu”

You’re as fake as the Cruz you support. Discussing the work of a candidate’s wife is not an “attack” cupcake.

Well maybe if you go to Mizzou and need a safe space it is.

“Maybe next Trump’s campaign should go after Cruz’s mom, or maybe his aunt.”

You’re confused. It’s Cruz’s vicious campaign manager Jeff Roe who goes after candidates family including their children. It’s probably ok with you though, since it would be on behalf of Cruz. You need to read up on the people your guy has surrounded himself with.

But I doubt this Ashley Madison thing ... how stupid would you have to be as a sitting US senator to use your real name. Could be anyone who used his name ... like when Mickey Mouse registers to vote Democrat.
********************************************
But this person had to produce some form of payment ....like a credit card. I believe people have to pay for the Ashley Madison service.

And who that pays any attention to politics doesn’t know these things? And those that don’t space out when you use the word NAFTA.

Good that means Ted has insider info and can use it against them. That’s a plus.
I like Ted I think he will make a great conservative president
just like Ronald Reagan.

This was all known. The cruz supporters just chose to ignore it just like they are cruz's indiscretions.

Trump donates to democrats: ignored

From Politifact:

Trump has actually been relatively evenhanded in doling out cash to the two parties, but since 1989, he’s contributed over $350,000 more to Republicans running for federal and state offices, campaign finance records show.

Data from the Federal Election Commission and state elections offices provided by the two websites show that Trump has given $584,850 to Democrats and $961,140 to the GOP over the last 26 years.

The difference in donations is almost entirely captured in Trump’s recent giving. Since 2012, Trump has donated $463,450 to Republicans and just $3,500 to Democrats (California Attorney General Kamala Harris and New York Assemblyman Michael Benedetto).

Trump says he's for the assault weapons ban: ignored

The only very mild restriction Trump advocated was in 2000. A myriad of strong statements through the years confirm to all but the partisan payers looking for an ax to grind that Trump is very strongly for the 2nd Amendment.

http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Donald_Trump_Gun_Control.htm

For assault weapon ban, waiting period, & background check

I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record.

Source: The America We Deserve, by Donald Trump, p.102 , Jul 2, 2000

Trump says he's very pro choice: ignored

Again we need to travel back to 1999 for any support for your statement, within months of that interview where Trump was backed into a corner and gave a weak assent Trump repudiated his position publicly. Trump's growth into a strong prolife advocate began in 2000 and has continued without any equivocation or backsliding. Why not let the man's statements speak for him?

http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Donald_Trump_Abortion.htm

Trump pals around with the Clintons: ignored

This is not worth debunking, they were in the same circle and were cordial before Trump entered the political arena.

Trump loves him some eminent domain: ignored

Eminent Domain is the law of the land. It is necessary but needs better limitations IMHO. Trump did not abuse the laws and the town councils made the decision that they wanted to invite projects to revitalize their town and enhance the tax base. Work to change the law or hold town councils responsible to have referendum.

Trump brags about his indescretions: ignored Seems to be a theme. The theme is you don't like Trump, your right to your opinion. But if you try to slander him with inaccurate accusations I'm going to put the links to the truth out there so people can make up their own minds.

From your linked article. The reporter followed standard policy but the article was anti-Obama.
Johnson says that amazingly, he was then fired “retroactively” for violating the policy, even though it wasn’t in place when he published the headline in question.

Okay. Let's cut to the bottom line.

Because Katrina works for Trump, he could and would ask her for the truth.

Ergo...Trump knows the truth of this story as it pertains to Katrina Pieraon.

Cruz knows whether or not Trump knows what Katrina knows.

IMHO, this was an issue regarding Trumps hiring of Katrina.

Cruz is a horn-dog.

Nice to know.

Cruz has been Trumped. I.e. the true has come out about Cruz...his beans have been spilled.

>>Those are not he beans Trump was referring to. I heard there is more to come. Skeletons, not beans, will start spilling out of closets. Sad.<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I agree with you, Captain. Trump is always several moves ahead, even when he sometimes seems to have made a mistake.

My guess is that he’s letting the attention build on the whole dispute, so that the spotlight is brightly focused on the Cruzes when the other shoe falls.
