He implied it by saying the allegations are false, and that they’re lies, but behaviorally, such statements are not equivalent to saying he never had the affairs.


Exactumndo. I’m getting BJ Clinton flashbacks here: “It depends on what the meaning of ‘is’ is.” What a piece of work Rafael Cruz is.

That is just where we are today.

How far back will it be walked? Does it matter that Trump’s accusation was apparently false? If he was wrong then, how do you claim he is right now?

The accuser just changed his story. That matters, doesn’t it?

I guess that would make Jeff Roe a ratf*cker too.

At least Stone hasn’t driven anyone to suicide.

Matching tattoos falls short of the required proof.

Stronger cases have been made against politicians with much less.

It was on here. I do not remember if it were a thread or just a post.

That is exactly what they are referring to. He says the smears are false, he doesn’t say “I have been only faithful to my wife and was not involved in these or any other affairs or other form of marital cheating”. He didn’t say that at all, and he spent far more effort in focusing on Trump and attacking, then on saying that he was innocent.

If Trump don’t watch out he will start losing the supporters of Ted Cruz and that will not be good if he gets the nomination


Did you read the article? Cruz refuses to deny he had affairs and instead chooses to smear Trump. Given that behavior by Cruz: Why are you still standing by your man?

It’s a reference to “ratf*cker” — the nickname given Roger Stone because of his political tactics. Cruz didn’t make the term up.

Of course, I'm sure it makes perfect sense to you that cruz needed to proclaim his desire not to copulate with Trump.

After spending dozens of hours as a deponent by the largest law firm in the world, I can say that Sen. Cruz’s response is all misdirection and evasion.

Let’s look at the denials:

Cruz: “These attacks are garbage” ...what constitutes garbage?

Cruz: “These smears are completely false” ...what smears is the Senator making reference?

Cruz: “Let me be clear, this National Enquirer story is garbage. It is complete and utter lies. It is a tabloid smear, and it is a smear that has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen” ...does “complete and utter lies” refer to the opening paragraph: “Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is the target of a ‘dirty tricks’ campaign!

Wouldn’t a simple flat denial of ANY marital infidelity in 15 years of marriage simply sufficed?

Pretty weird, though, for a political candidate to volunteer that he doesn’t wish to copulate with his (same sex and rodent-like) opponent.

Cruz is not denying he had affairs. Why doesn’t that matter to you? Seems a pretty straight forward response and Cruz refuses to do it.

Well, that’s certainly one unique way of saying ‘Ted is a sex crazed poodle’.


With the list of conquests growing, I would suggest,...Raphael “The Cuban Stallion” Cruz...may be a more appropriate moniker.

We know Trump wasn’t behind it. Many sources have confirmed Rubio was behind it, and many have confirmed they all had the story. Roger Stone interviewed a few weeks ago that he had already been approached by many media outlets asking him to comment and he would not comment.

So knowing all of this: Cruz uses his own scandal to lie about the facts & try and smear Trump and involve him in the dirty side of Cruz’s own sex scandal.

What a total opportunist..! Anything to win, even exploiting his own brewing scandal!

Wow.

He has. On multiple occasions. Adamantly. You simply choose to not listen, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

I think you may be a bit confused, cruz is the one making completely unfounded accusations here. Are suggesting cruz is walking these back? Because as far as I can tell, if it is true that the cruz campaign bought the pics of Trumps wife and provided them to the PAC to use in an ad, cruz is responsible for that.

Does Cruz desire to copulate rats?

Maybe RATs.

Take it from Monica's boyfriend...democRAT girls are easy.

Didn’t you know that Cruz is just like Barky? Only other people are accountable, not him.

... the man has not explained either why 500 grand was given to Fiorina’s PAC when she had one of these women working for her last year.

Therein lies the stink that won't go away. He's TOAST!

So if Lyin' Ted is caught in this big whopper...you will not vote for Trump? Okey dokey. Here's an idea...how about not voting for the guy telling the big whoppers!? Just a thought.
