*** His put downs of women will crush him.. ***

No, they won’t. Trump has never played the Jesus card like hypocrite Cruz.

[Neu Pragmatist]

You are right ...and they are allied with Cruz ...Cruz should denounce them , but he won’t ...they are scum

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

at least a cruz/Rubio ticket could win.

Both Los Pollos Hermanos are ineligible to seek the presidency of the United States.

Also, posted here earlier”

“As for Heidi, perhaps she would like to tell us about her and GWB back in Kennebunkport during the campaign and after?”

Good point. Something else popped into my mind.

At a brokered convention the GOPe could easily approach Ted and tell him this story will not play well with voters in the general election and therefore they cannot support him for President or the VP slot.

[dragonblustar]

Cruz needs to get out of the race.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

the allegation is already proven true because Cruz would have filed a restraining order to prevent the rumor from being published if it weren’t true

I know, right. What happened to Cruz's mad, dope Constitutional and debating skillz?

[Leo Carpathian]

Non eligible, not Natural Born Citizens, Cubans, Chihuahua Marko and Pinocchio Ted attacking Big Donald at CNN freestyle match.

Cruz "character":

1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.

2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters "vote for Cruz"

3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video "vote for me" with his preacher/father stomping for him. Rafael Cruz is a Seven Mountain Dominionist and believes his son is the anointed one.

4. "Brilliant" lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.

5. Making phony video advertising with lies about opponents.

Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat?
Liar is the polite term for this Cuban. His father was pro-communist in Cuba, imprisoned by Batista, but now he is refugee?

IRREFUTABLE AUTHORITY HAS SPOKEN

(Oct. 18, 2009) The Post & Email has in several articles mentioned that the Supreme Court of the United States has given the definition of what a "natural born citizen" is. Since being a natural born citizen is an objective qualification and requirement of office for the U.S. President (and VP), it is important for all U.S. Citizens to understand what this term means.

I agree.

[madison10]

How does one “credibly deny?” No matter what Cruz says the Trumpets will call him a liar. If Trump had the same problem you would excuse him saying “a man has needs.”

[madison10]

For an as yet unsubstantiated claim?

[GLDNGUN]

I understand your point but I maintain that Cruz has shaken the confidence of even his strong supporters lately. I think the reaction from Cruz supporters would be much different if this story had come out 6 or 9 months ago. I think it would have been much more of a defense of "No way Ted Cruz would do that".

Another way to look at it is of which of the following candidates would you be the least surprised was a serial cheater - Carson, Jeb, Santorum, Huckabee, Jindal, Walker or Cruz? Compare your answer now to what it would have been 6 or 9 months ago.

[Rashputin]

You're right and they have the perfect deal for Ted's ego, too. They can promise him a committee chair or two and that in a year or so when this has blown over, they'll do what so many Cruz fans suggest and promise to nominate him to be a USSC Justice.

Forget the fact they probably would have people already lined up to make sure this and possibly worse got maximum air time were he actually nominated, it would probably placate Ted.

Cruz people going wild at Trump over this, Cruz himself included, is just playing into the hands of the GOPe who have their fingerprints all over it.

[Rashputin]

Very good point. Cruz jumping on this as a Trump plot is proof that Ted isn't nearly as smart as some claim, he feels cornered and when his emotions are triggered doesn't think rationally, or he's already put his fate in the hands of those wonderful GOPe folks who "joined him".

If it's the last of those possible explanations, his apology to Mr Turtle will come along any day to try and divert his supporters attention away from this.

[Amity]

that they’re holding off on publishing what they’ve found until after Cruz clinches the nomination, ensuring an easy victory for Hillary in November.

That makes no sense at all. The media is overwhelmingly liberal, while practically every poll out there has Hillary beating Trump while Cruz has been advancing on her rapidly. If the average liberal reporter had a credible report on Cruz that would knock him out of the race, they'd be on it like a shot.

[HarleyLady27]

I was thinking, this smells of Clinton/Bush... Get Cruz out, go after Trump, put Bush in, Bush picks Rubio as V P & Clinton wins...Bush gets paid handsomely, every body but the American People are happy...

Well, the one whom I'd be least surprised to learn was a serial cheater is one you don't list: Donald J. Trump. And that's because his history in that regard is something that is well-known and something in which he has expressed pride. As for the others, honestly I have no opinion. As far as I'm concerned, they're all equally likely and unlikely to be adulterers. I've never met any of them. I have no idea what they do or don't do behind closed doors.

[Lopeover]

Did Cruz deny it or merely blamed Trump?

Cruz, Beck and Cruz family sold him as the righteous prophet to save America. If you are gonna put on that mantle, you better darn well be squeaky clean. Nothing Americans hate more than a hypocrite.

[Lopeover]

I think Mitch McConnell (GOPe) is behind it. After all Cruz did not apologize to Mitch.

OK, we get it!

Vote for whomever the hell you want.
