GOP leadership strikes me as the most likely explanation for both stories coming out.

Assuming the Cruz story is false ... thats the best explanation so far ...

I see three options on that.

1. The mistress story is true. In that case, Cruz is a sleaze. I'll support Trump because he's been a bit of a sleaze too, but he's more electable. I'll hope that Cruz can continue in the Senate for eight more years as a true conservative he has been so far, and that he'll be more electable in 2024, when Trump leaves office.

2. The mistress story is completely false. In that case, Cruz is an innocent victim, and many on FR should be ashamed of themselves for falling for a story with no evidence at all. I'll support Trump even though he's been a bit of a sleaze, because he's more electable. I'll hope that Cruz can continue in the Senate for eight more years as a true conservative he has been so far, and that he'll be more electable in 2024, when Trump leaves office.

3. The mistress story is mostly false. Mostly? Yep. As in there may have been slight flirtation, but no physical contact or other genuinely inappropriate interactions. In that case, Cruz is a mostly innocent victim, and many on FR should be ashamed of themselves for falling for a story with little or no evidence. I'll support Trump even though he's been a bit of a sleaze, because he's more electable. I'll hope that Cruz can continue in the Senate for eight more years as a true conservative he has been so far, and that he'll be more electable in 2024, when Trump leaves office.

In other words, I don't particularly care about the details of this story. America is in immediate and exceptionally grave danger, and I'm going to grab the best chance to restore the Bill of Rights, limited government under the enumerated powers, and the rule of law. I would happily take either Trump or Cruz, whichever one had the better chance to preserve our country.
