Ted Cruz dodges question about whether he's 'always been faithful' to his wife as endorser Carly Fiorina leaps in to insist a declaration that he's not an adulterer is a 'dance to Donald trump's tune'
Texas senator could put National Enquirer scandal to rest with a simple statement that he has never strayed in his 14-year marriage
Instead he has batted down the supermarket tabloid's speculative story about five alleged affairs in a more limited fashion
Carly Fiorina leaped in to intercept DailyMail.com's request for a blanket statement of marital fidelity and Cruz ultimately punted on the question
Fiorina pleaded for a return to discussing issues, but lobbed her own accusation at 'serial adulterer' Donald Trump
Cruz also challenged Trump to a one-on-one debate in Wisconsin on Tuesday night: 'Why don't you show up and debate like a man?'
Ted Cruz declined to answer a question on Monday about whether he has ever been unfaithful to his wife Heidi.
'Senator Cruz,' DailyMail.com asked him, 'can you please swat down more definitively this National Enquirer piece by telling us on the record that you've never been unfaithful to your wife?'
The National Enquirer published a story last Wednesday that speculated about five women with whom the Republican presidential candidate was rumored to have had extramarital affairs.
Cruz has batted down the specifics of the story on numerous occasions since it appeared in supermarket checkout lanes.
But instead of making a blanket declaration that he has been faithful during the entirety of his 14-year marriage – a move that would effectively end the vicious news cycle – Cruz stood silently as campaign surrogate Carly Fiorina leapt in to intercept the question and change the subject.

Cruz wouldn’t answer the question. Instead used Carly to distract from the question
Carly, whose PAC received $500,000 from Cruz PAC** is a good employee dontcha think?
**Still under investigation by FEC.
I was wondering too. I couldn’t find the clip either. Would like to see it.
We don’t know how many women are involved - there’s a lot of smoke, I’ll admit; but no real facts yet.
All we know is that we’re witnessing deflection, instead of a straightforward addressing of the issue of infidelity.
That worries me.

I wonder what Carson has to say about this because Carson is supporting Trump.
Cruz is the big “he shares my values candidate” ; well it sure looks like he won’t be anymore.
If you actually believe that the issue under discussion in this piece is the marital faithfulness of Donald Trump, I would say that you haven’t been following this story very carefully.
To bring you up to speed,Ted Cruz and his henchmen (and woman if you want to throw Fiorina in with them) is that Ted Cruz has been slandered by Donald Trump for planting a false story in the National Inquirer that posted the 5 pixilated pics of woman who they say he had a sexual relationship with when married.
Various anti-Trump media people (Kristen Powers from FOX and some character from The Daily Beast, among others) have reliable sources who say that Trump was uninvolved with the story, and that it came from Rubio’s camp.
But the important point of this piece is that Ted Cruz (and the Reverend Glenn Beck) have been righteously proclaiming that it’s all a dastardly lie perpetrated by Trump. The anti-Trump media predictably promotes the the Cruz line and reports to its Kool-Aid drinking fans that it’s all Donald Trump’s fault.
So, if you didn’t know all that, then I could well understand why you might treat this story as a back and forth between to scalawags, or worse. But if none of what I’ve relayed to you was a surprise, and yet you still posted the message that you did, then you should feel quite comfortable in joining with the rest of the media who are doing everything humanly posit;e to avoid talking about some of the real issues that are destroying America.
If it were not for Donald Trump, the topics of illegal immigration, the Second Amendment, Islamic terrorism, political correctness, PACs controlling elections, corporatists influencing congress, one-sided trade agreements that are stealing our jobs, the need to dramatically revising NATO....and I could go on with about 20 or more other issues that he raised and would NEVER be discussed at all in this election by the political bums (Carson was an exception) that had entered the race.
None of these topics would be on the table were it not for Trump. But the media has their saps that pay attention to them and engage in debating topics like which candidate is less faithful to their wife. Hopefully the majority of Americans will realize that this is our last chance. Unfortunately, I don’t think the will.
You mean Fiorina?
Carly is his mommy now...mark my words. She will be there to stop that questioning...
Nailed it! Wish I could find a video of that presser. She made Ted look like a foot-shuffler.
Why are we even discussing this? We were lectured by liberals regarding Bill.Clinton that none of this matters.
LOL Oh but it does when the candidate wears God on his coat sleeve and his supporters attack opponents because they had affairs in the distant past and multiple marriages.
OH, and I am not a liberal, so it matters a lot to me!!!!!!
Ted looks scared to death. Is it because of the infidelity question, or the looks he’s getting from Carly?
I agree.
I’m getting sick of him.
I sort of liked him at first and thought the Trump campaign was just a joke of some kind.
But finding out about Td’s wife and his globalist tendencies put him in my “well maybe not” holding pattern division.
This kind of makes Ted seem sort of gross.
Enlarge the picture and Heidi looks less tired than truly disgusted and angry.
Pretty sick. I wonder how Heidi feels about Carly coming to his aid as she once had an affair with her now husband?
Good luck with that ...
What about Cruz’s giving nothing to his local church? Didn’t Algore give at least a few hundred dollars a year?
Amanda’s Carpenter’s twitter posts are very bizarre too. She’s been tweeting like crazy. A lot of her old instagrams have been the subject of new speculation. There are some that are quite revealing.
Has Trump lied about it?
Is Trump the "Holy Man" candidate?
Therein lies the problem for any candidate running as the Holy Man in any political campaign. Once you stake out that ground you must live up to it.
The repentant sinner works. But not the unrepentant holy man caught in a lie.
Well, he never pretended to be an American Citizen either... oh, wait a minute... wrong candidate.
That was Teddy the pretender:
for claiming to represent Godly morality,
for claiming citizenship in the USA- instead of Canada,
for claiming to represent the face of God,
for claiming fidelity to his wife,
for claiming to oppose wider trade authority,
for claiming to oppose wild arsed immigration (and passing out little teddy bears with Glen,
for claiming to oppose the GOPe sachs goldmoney... while...
what can I say.
Ted is the fraudliest candidate ever to make it on a ballot.
