A Sex Scandal? Who Cares? (some interesting tidbits)
American Spectator ^ | F.H. Buckley

Posted on 03/26/2016 9:40:45 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

I don’t now about you, but I’ve found the Republican race a bit of a disappointment until now. Sure, there was the enjoyment of mud-wrestling “debates,” the spectacle of Trump-derangement syndrome, but where was the sex scandal?

And when we get the sex scandal, it’s about Ted Cruz!

Still, beggars can’t be choosers. The scandal, such as it was, has been floating around for a least six months. That’s when a reporter (not from the Spectator) called to ask if I knew anyone who could confirm the story. (As if I’m supposed to know this stuff.) I told him I didn’t and that the people I knew wouldn’t want to touch it, even if they knew something about it.

Now the story has gone public, thanks to a muck-raking journal that as it happened also outed John Edwards. And everyone is wondering whether the story is true.

Except me. Because I don’t much care if it’s true. Given Heidi, I wouldn’t blame Ted. After all, she apparently refuses to live with him. And given Ted, I wouldn’t blame Heidi.

Novelists will sometimes mention some little incident that doesn’t really move the story line, but which nonetheless matters. The little incident that sticks in my mind is the story that she once ran out of the house and was found on the side of the highway by the police, who thought her suicidal. What sticks in my mind is that Ted hadn’t followed her.

Stuff in the past, I’m more willing to give a pass on. But in the moment, it’s bad news.

Here is the witness testimony :
https://avengersocial.wordpress.com/2016/03/26/interview-with-a-candy-wrapper-the-lollipop-edition/

It will in its entirety be made public with the necessary documentation/ evidence to support her story in the case he will defend against bringing a sex worker over state lines.
No doubt grounds for loosing his law license

Losers choose to commit acts that create the loss.

It will be very problematic if he used senate funds for anything related to “fun”.

Minutes before the sex scandal Broke Trumps spokesman was on msnbc explaining what the beans were that Hiedi was about to have spilled. — she and he promote the uniting of the North American countries and the loss of American sovereignty. If that’s what you are promoting I suggest you are on the wrong site If you are promoting CRUZ your are promoting the loss of our Sovern nation
This video explains it better than the 20+ links available through a good search
Pay particular attention to the Lou Dobbs section (CNN got rid of him for this line of thinking)

Six months ago? American Spectator must be ‘tabloid’ now I suppose?

Conservative Treehouse VINDICATED.

Note Post 10.

OUCH!

from my view of the threads you are wrong, totally wrong

among the rapidly sinking cruzbots there is merely hope for Trump involvement

in the world, the real world, there are many, many new non trump sources coming forth relating awareness of the cruz assignations quite some time.

The blame trump gambit was fatally wrong

And Trump waited six months to get this news out when he knew about it?

If you are correct, don’t you find that interesting? Quite noble of him.

In fact, it was Team Rubio that sent out the recent smears ...

Ted Cruz Cheating Scandal Not Linked to Trump Campaign – Was Started by GOP Elites [a Rubio time bomb]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3413980/posts

Virtually everyone in the blog-o-sphere who supported Marco Rubio was active, tweeting, re-tweeting, or following the events related to #TheThing. Now they’re running for cover and trying to hide their fingerprints.

Anti-Trump Republican operative Rick Wilson tweeted this out weeks ago. (He has since deleted it.)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3413997/posts

... one of the now deleted ‘tweets’ was from Rick Wilson, who stated the owner of ‘The Thing’ should just upload it to You Tube and the reporters could ‘discover it’ there.

“There is a lot more evidence to support Trump’s being behind this scandal than there is that the scandal itself is true.”

LOL. You’re in for a rough ride, my FRiend, as Cruz’s threads are all unraveling now. His goose is cooked. This information about Cruz’s affairs has been rattling around out there in the blog and twitter sphere for 6 months now. A Breitbart reporter had this a few weeks ago and was forced to spike it because a couple of big money men behind Breitbart are big Cruz supporters. So the NE went with it and got the scoop.

None of this had anything to do with Trump. The backdoor media was onto this long ago, and the MSM chose to ignore it as their bigger enemy was/is Trump. Now your candidate Cruz is coming down, hard and fast. And you are, a SORE CRUZERMAN.

Right, based on conservativejoy’s post, Trump/Stone did nothing about the information.

Could have used it for SIX MONTHS.

Wait, that's Ted's base, isn't it?

No; Cruz' base is a subset (Trump drew more Evangelical votes than Cruz, hence his sweep of the South, sans Texas); he has Pentecostals and Mormons.

Trump camp has known about Cruz’s philandering since they hired the spokesman who had worked for Cruz. At that time efforts by the Cruz camp to make her appear unstable and unreliable were being promoted by the Cruz camp. It was all on line including the alleged affair in which Cruz accused her of coming on to him. Her denial of having an affair does not rule out any inappropriate actions between them. Being hit on by your boss is not an affair !
That being said. She was on MSNBC as the news of the Cruz scandal was breaking.

Until someone produces some evidence, Cruz and his family are victims of slander.

This is not a simple sex scandal. IF TRUE, it shows that Cruz has not one atom of self control about his urges, and is a liar, and has serious mental problems.

NOT presidential material.

Oh there will be plenty of evidence
Looks like he will be facing federal charges for taking a sex worker across state lines. Plane ticket, car rental are easy for FBI to produce Word is she is now in witness protection

Yeah, and Trump did nothing with the intel except make vague warnings: “Cruz is a nasty person. He’s a liar.”

Trump had info behind the scenes to back him up.

Oh, do avail us of the source of this “word” or better yet, a credible link. Avengersocial with two anonymous people in a fake interview aren’t going to cut it.
