When did it become Ted Cruz’s full time job (and that’s what it would become) to defend the Trump campaign?

Well Andrea McWilliams is not a random Cruz supporter at a rally shouting something rude. She is a well connected wealthy Texas Lobbyist and strong ally of the Cruz campaign that was pretty much representing them when she made the slut shaming remarks way back on March 8th.

Just in case she really did not represent him accurately, and to try to be fair to Cruz, I am prepared to give Cruz a break if he disavowed her attack. But I could not find any evidence that he did. So I have to take what she said as being more or less a shot from camp Cruz.

I like keeping an open mind...but not an empty one.

Its not like I am blaming Cruz for a story from a Tabloid. What kind of idiot would do that?...oh uhm...yeah....

yes, uncertainty because I’ve only seen it here:

and on a NYC for Trump site that named the sales person as Ben Shales who sold the photo to Roe (which I can’t find again at the moment)

Yep the link I had was to same interview, but that puts it in more context. And makes it very clear Andrea McWilliams was representing the Cruz campaign.

Notice how Neil was saying "you guys" referencing how the Cruz campaign handled the Rubio quiting rumors and she accepted that designation and responded pretty much as a spokesperson.

Certainly if she was not really part of the Cruz campaign and misrepresenting herself, they would have jumped on it.

I am not happy with the way Trump finally struck back. But the narrative that it wasn't Cruz that struck first and it was just a super PAC ad he had no control over is nonsense.

Smoking,

It has come out now the entire wives issue was fabricated from the Cruz camp as a way to confuse the issue of the incoming adultery claims against Cruz.

When the picture used in the Ad was bought by the Cruz campaign it shows that there was a direct connection between the Cruz camp and the PAC.

We also know Trump warned Cruz to back off and threatened to produce evidence of Cruz’s wife’s anti-American agenda - to show Cruz was a fake conservative. This did happen.

So when you keep attacking Trump over this and incorrectly claiming it was Trump’s fault for any of it, you are only being used a gullible tool by the slimy campaign whose goal is to confuse the issues.

This entire thing other then the Adultery was orchestrated by the people with Cruz to muddy the water and do damage control for Cruz.

Cruz opened a can of worms for sure. He let his alligator mouth over tip his hummingbird arse!

So Trump points out that Cruz’s wife is ugly and everybody thinks Trump is the ass????

Cruz’s wife is a government shill which makes her attack fodder. She helped sell out this country, and wants to continue to do so...and Trump is the A-hole for it?

wow...

What....a couple three thousand words here that dance around the concise statement that is needed:

“The claims are UNTRUE, I did not have sex with those 2,3, 5 women”.

Instead, we are treated to a triple litany of how “coverage” of this is wrong, bad (or just too damaging).

It is the MESSAGE, not the messenger.

...”Political theater at its finest or maybe at its worse. Take your pick.”...

This is media fascism at work. The people are supposed to own the political process when it comes to elections..However, it looks like the media and the government are controlling and will control it. How very stupid all of the wife attacks, back and forth, are. The wives are simply supporting their husbands which should be what any wife would do. It looks like the Cruz campaign started this through an attack against Mrs. Trump, who, as far as I can see, is a beautiful and gracious lady, who married Trump when he was totally free to marry. The issues are how our country is going to survive a massive debt, a massive welfare state, a dysfunctional healthcare system no one can afford, terrorism threats, open borders, widespread drug addiction, anarchy and an educational system which is teaching socialism and communism to our kids. I believe this is political theater at it’s worse.

(Cruz)had nothing whatsoever to do with the ad — if he did, it would be a serious violation of federal law — and yet has spoken against it. >>>>>>>>>

Thats the lie.

Cruz did not speak out against the MAA ad. That’s YUGE!

So if Trump is elected, will someone ‘leak’ more Melania pix?

I’d like to see more Melania pix. Put her on the front page. One more reason to vote for Trump, i.e. to exorcise the WH after the ABL with the ass the size of a truck has been there for what seems like forever.

Funny that the same ‘unattributed’ media can day David Duke endorsed Trump, he donounves it immediately, yet he is still asked over and over again to denounce it an is still referred to as a racist. The media is an echo chamber. Even to the point of bringing the same question up in the role of a debate moderator, while other candidates are more than happy to let them do it.

No, they don’t.

This is a rumor put out by someone on FR unaffiliated with the any campaign and blasted over Twitter: https://twitter.com/Campaign_Trump/status/713142215078334464/photo/1

That appears to be the primary source of this “news” that keeps getting repeated endlessly around FR as if it’s true. As far as I can tell, there isn’t anyone at GQ even named “Ben Shales.”

I realize that I’m preaching to the choir, but this needs to get distributed here by someone with a massive ping list. And hopefully it makes it’s way to a larger audience on the general web:

What every voter needs to know about Ted Cruz. (and Heidi)

How long before we find out Heidi is the one who paid off Carly’s campaign to shut down the bimbo eruption?
