Donald Trump: ‘Ted Cruz’s Problem with the National Enquirer Is His and His Alone’
Breitbart ^ | 03/25/16 | Michelle Moons

Posted on 03/25/2016 4:59:19 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Donald Trump on Friday denied claims from fellow 2016 Republican presidential contender

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that Trump’s friends at the National Enquirer and Trump “political henchmen” are behind a story that the Texas senator engaged in several extramarital affairs.

Trump posted a statement on Friday responding to the Cruz accusation:

I have no idea whether or not the cover story about Ted Cruz in this week’s issue of the National Enquirer is true or not, but I had absolutely nothing to do with it, did not know about it, and have not, as yet, read it.

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. Ted Cruz’s problem with the National Enquirer is his and his alone, and while they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others, I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin’ Ted Cruz.

I look forward to spending the week in Wisconsin, winning the Republican nomination and ultimately the Presidency in order to Make America Great Again.

– Donald J. Trump

Cruz denied accusations of marital infidelity as “garbage” and accused Trump of enlisting “his friends at the National Enquirer and his political henchmen to do his bidding” in a statement issued Friday. Cruz also inferred nefarious timing of the National Enquirer story in a Friday press conference.

You seem to be upset that Donald Trump has embraced a Conservative viewpoint.

What is the point of conversation if the right can never get somebody to understand what this Nation is founded on.

Is it just a never ending argument with no outcome?

Do we not welcome people to understand what our Nation is founded on? Do we not give them credit for understanding when their beliefs did not support the Constitution?

You seem to be a club member that will never accept anyone that admits to being wrong.

I sure hope that Cruz story is bullshit or you are left with Kasich.

Oh please, anybody with the slightest speck of discernment knows that this is Trump’s standard operating procedure, whereas there is zero evidence that the great senator from Texas—the one with a 97%-100% lifetime conservative/pro-liberty voting record—should be referred to “Lyin’ Ted”.

You folks are melting down.

Take an hour or so away from the forum. Take some deep breath and relax.

I know you think Trump is Satan, but he probably isn’t.

Just sayin...

No I haven’t but I guess you could be right. They don’t strike me as groupies but maybe.

“Nothing to do with the NE? More lies. He’s a personal friend of the owner.”

You better hope that if you ever get accused of something that the jurors judging you have more sense for logic and the rules of evidence than you do.

If Cruz can’t keep it in his pants.. It’s Trump’s fault! This is like the Bush years.. He’s responsible for all the worlds ills.

He was wrong when he “attacked” Cruz (for publishing a 16 year old salacious photo of Trump’s wife of 6 years on Facebook) by tweeting side-by-side photos of his bodacious wife and Cruz’s unhappy-looking wife, and now it’s also Trump’s fault that Cruz may have had numerous affairs—that is, when not speaking in tongues, tub-thumping and handling snakes.

Got it.

No surprise here , Rubio/GOPe /Cruz allies have done this before...

Perfect example : Lying Levin got outed with his connections to Cruz , Levin pointed to Rubio as the guilty party (which was correct), but then Levin used it as a catalyst to go after Trump ...

A personal friend of the owner has nothing to do with what the owner does in his own business. National Enquirer does not build golf courses and world class hotels and Trump doesn’t run N.E. or write its articles.
To claim otherwise is radically stupid.

Right, Trump’s SOP is to have another campaign shop the story around for weeks, and not be able to get it into the mainstream news when it could torpedo his main opponent, and then call up his buddy at the National Enquirer, and tell them to do a two week spread on it, but wait to release it until AFTER Utah.

You don’t get how delusional you sound.

Of course, you cannot see how your candidate is up to eyeballs in a problem and the only way he can devise to get himself out of it is to blame the person least responsible for the predicament he is in.

But then that’s Lyin’ Ted for ya!

“OKay then. The Cruzers can go complain to the NE, and let everyone else move on.”
***********************************************************************************
Nope! Trump OWNS this unsuccessful attempt to smear Ted Cruz’ good name. I don’t blame Trump for wanting this to “go away” since it only succeeded in making Trump look bad while, if anything, making Cruz look good & sympathetic.

But Donald, you’re NOT going to be able to lose this SMEAR ATTEMPT TAR BABY—YOU CREATED IT AND YOU OWN IT—you are STUCK with it.

I think you missed that I was challenging you to post them because I do believe it would get you banned. Get it? It was kind of a joke. It's appropriate to not allow certain things on a private website. Just like Trump has the right to deny protesters to enter his rally's if he sees fit, since it's private property and he's paid for it, he can do whatever he wants. You can dislike him, but you can't really argue that he's denying anyone their rights.

But I am curious what got you banned, so please do send it to me. I will give you my, not the site's, rational interpretation of why I would or would not have banned you if I founded and owned the site. It will be essentially meaningless, but it will at least be another human being on the site giving you their take. I'm pretty sure it won't be because of political bias, but that this is not an open forum, and you don't get to say anything you want.

If you are donating to the site, I will have a little more sympathy for your 'I should be heard' case, by the way, but it won't change anything.

Do you contribute to the site, by the way, or do you feel that merely your thoughts and opinions, made available to us as a gift, and for which you have been persecuted in your attempt to offer, alone suffice as you pulling your weight here?

What was so “vile” about Trump’s statement?

Everything Trump is vile to the great sanctimonious GGG. Just ask him, he'll tell you.

>>Why would Trump push a story like that which included his campaign spokeswoman?? That defies logic and reason.<<

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

Before she was on Trump campaign, Pierson was banned from Cruz campaign by Heidi.
