Maybe Donald Trump isnt behind the Ted Cruz sex scandal story leak to the National Enquirer after all.
According to The Daily Beast, for months and months, anti-Cruz operatives have pitched a variety of #CruzSexScandal stories to a host of prominent national publications.
One such outlet was Breitbart News, which was shown a compilation video of Cruz and a woman other than his wife coming out of the Capitol Grille restaurant and a hotel on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a source inside the publication told The Daily Beast. (Leave it to a politician to keep a standardized booty call schedule.)
The Breibart source confirmed that theyd received the video from a Rubio ally, but ultimately decided against running the story because, There was no way to verify the claims.

That is interesting, but Trump’s spokesperson has denied she had any romantic involvement with Cruz.
So has the girl that got the matching tattoo the same day as Cruz.
It doesn’t really matter if he had one affair or 8. They only have to prove one of the affairs. But they need to prove one.
I don’t think the GOPe is smart enough to create such a convoluted scam. This smells like the Clintons, with that deep sewer tinge to it.
On some days i tend to agree with you. It's probably more likely that Cruz was compromised much later than Oct '13, 2013.
On other days, I'm convinced he was born with devil horns. ;-)
Ted has that ‘I’m the chosen one’ syndrome. Perhaps he is unable to see that his —now looking very likely— double life is not an issue. I look for Mr Cruz to crumble like Gary Hart, if he in fact has God’s Spirit in his human spirit.
Exactly the point it is GOPe plan, they just screwed up the implementation. Supposed to wait TILL AFTER Cruz was done interfering with Trump in the remaining primaries . Then lower the boom
Someone posted a poll on FB asking if Romney were the nominee would you vote for him? No way.
But what IS an affair these days to that generation of young women ? They may not consider their activities qualify, even if they did participate.
Common Phone Apps. promote no consequence behavior that is not considered ~romantic, or an ~affair to those you use that, primarily under 40yo crowd.
I think she’s retweeting the link because she’s astonished by it, not endorsing it.
But I think you give these folks too much credit for brains.
And I honestly don't see any damage to Trump. The committed, evangelical Cruz voters were never going to vote for Trump. He didn't lose a single vote.
In fact he will pick up half of Cruz supporters and the rest will stay home. Additionally half of Kasich supporters will also now move to Trump as the only viable winner.
Thank you. I don’t twitter so I do not understand all the acronyms.
Twitter isn’t my thing, either, but knowing her from her work, there’s no way she would be endorsing this story.
Probably not....but we just don’t know what’s going to happen...we don’t have a nominee yet.... I think Cruz and Trump supporters are going to stay with their guy until convention and we’ll all see what happens there. I just can’t see myself voting for Romney and can’t believe he would even accept.
In retrospect it was a bad idea for so many to run in the first place.....they always do....they line them up at the gate and then wonder why nobody meets the delegates until the end.
It’s a bad set up but it is what it is until that change that....which won’t be in this election.
Perhaps he GOPe has decoided they no longer need Ted to get delegates from Trump. They were never going to allow Cruz to be the nominee at a contested convention anyway. They didn’t do all this to give it to Ted.
But even if so, what are you saying in the context of this thread? That a Cruz affair doesn't matter? Or that Cruz can somehow reverse the trend?
I have read things like this on several different other sites, it sounds to me like Amanda has a big crush on Cruz and is poking this right in Mrs. Cruz’s face...shameful for Cruz to put something like this out there, Mrs. Cruz should have made sure the lock on Ted’s zipper was locked for good...
To think of someone like Bill Clinton in office again is sickening, sorry, but I want someone who can made America Proud and have a First Lady that is a Class Act and I see none of this with the Cruzes...
No, the opposite.
I am not excusing anyone from infidelity or adulterous acts.
I’m saying they may use wiggly speech before the camera to deny their activity.
According to the experts, former CIA

From the above article, dissected by former CIA deception experts :
...we were struck by the volume of deceptive behavior that we identified in these statements.
Behaviorally, when the facts are the ally of an individual, he or she almost always tends to focus on the facts of the matter at hand.
In this case, if the key fact was that he had not had these affairs, Cruz would almost certainly have been much more strongly focused on the denial. That is, he very likely would have made a point of explicitly stating something along the lines of, I did not have these affairs.
>>>>Ted never categorically denies having the affairs, does he?<<<<
No, the appearance of a scandal is a scandal. We will have our answers in a week, but why would an adult man put himself alone with young females? Even if innocent he should know better than that.
The $500K is going to sink him.
Pray America wakes
On blindgossip, back in December, people were chatting about a candidate embroiled in a sex scandal..they were speculating as to who it might be, and when it would hit media.

Agree 100%. I suppose he grew up being told he would be the worldly king of the early 7 mountains, or whatever that is. That would do it.
