Why Is Ted Cruz Getting a Total Pass For Attack on Donald Trump’s Wife?

I guess you missed the Vote for Ted Cruz on the bottom of the ad.

Exactly. All this "Cruz had nothing to do with the attack ad stuff" is incredibly naive. If you believe that, then I've got some dehydrated water to sell ya. ;)

Even though it may technically be against the law, apparently candidates speak with their SuperPACs all the time. And breaking the speed limit is against the law too, but how often does that stop people? :)

Besides, if Cruz read had a problem with the ad, he would've condemned it immediately. Since he did not, it's not that hard to read between the lines.

Why is Trump responsible for the Enquirer article? Cruz wasn’t responsible for the super pac that supports him putting out the ad with Trumps wife. Even if the magazinr supports Trump, they can put out whatevwr stories they want. It doesn’t mean Trump is secretly involved in any way. Just like they said about Cruz with his PAC.

Then why is Cruz’s spokesperson on Fox discussing the same talking points as was in the Ad 2 weeks before the ad ran in Utah.

Perhaps this is where that Pac got the idea?

Trump has exposed Cruz for what he is. You ought to be grateful for that.

This is the first time Ted has ever played with a boomerang. He doesn’t know that is comes back and, if you aren’t watching, can smack you upside your head.

Oops, corrected: Besides, if Cruz really had a problem with the ad, he would've condemned it immediately. Since he did not, it's not that hard to read between the lines.

I agree.

“You mean like cheating on your wife and kids, not once, not twice, but 5 times?”

I thought Trump had boasted of many conquests outside of marriage. Are you sure it was just five?

He gets a pass for the same reason the MSM went almost 24 hours without mentioning the National Enquirer story: The MSM narrative must be focused on destroying Trump.

Ted Cruz said he “obviously” had nothing to do with the Melania ad. So that’s what they report.

Now that Ted Cruz has said Donald Trump planted the National Enquirer story, the MSM is allowed to report that Donald Trump planted the story.

And we can just get back to how “spill the beans” is a “threatening Tweet” and Donald Trump is terrible because it’s all his fault leftist BLM rent-a-mobs start riots at his campaign events.

See how this works?

You mean like cheating on your wife and kids, not once, not twice, but 5 times?

And you know this how? Are we now going to just accept accusations against people as true?

[dartuser]

Cruz knew it was about to hit the stands and hit out at Melania to muddy the water and make the enquirer look like a retaliation.

If IF IF IF ... the NE story is true ... then what you have said is true ... and Cruz would have demonstrated to us all that he is just another lying politician who deserves our scorn.

[Mechanicos]

Proves the talking points came from inside the Cruz camp. Not at arms-length.

[The Citizen Soldier]

It wasn’t Cruz’s SuperPAC.

Cut ...paste, cut ...paste, cut ...paste

Man, your arms gotta be gettin' tired!

[mlo]

Because Cruz didn’t send it and doesn’t control what the PAC does.

[skeeter]

You couldn’t be more wrong.

It kinda seem like "thought" is not something that you are any good at. I recommend you stick with the talking points to avoid making a further fool out of yourself.

[Stegall Tx]

Cruz called Trump’s wife a slut.

When did this happen? Do you have a link to the video?

[rissole]

If IF IF IF ... the NE story is true ...

If were a total fabrication, don't you think Mr. Big Lawyer Cruz would be launching a lawsuit for libel for millions of dollars? If Cruz says nothing about a lawsuit (and he hasn't so far), then we can be sure the story is true.

Liz Mair supports Cruz now that Fiorina is on board. People claim Cruz knew because his consultant Jeff Roe helped find the picture.
