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.

He has denied it, over and over he has said its garbage. That should be enough.

[AmericaUnited]

but he doesn't seem to be the one acting like an alley cat these days.

There is as much proof that he is, as there is for anyone else.

And Glen Beck is already making excuses for him

Thanks, folks. Saw the pic! :)

I re-watched that news conference with Cruz and Fiorina and Ted Cruz deflected the question...

Do you have a link to the video?

[Starstruck]

In this case, the questions were asked in person.

Just seems weird that they would use a DailyMail.com and not say the name of the reporter.

Could you please provide a link or something with this info?

Can you answer the question “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

YOu are an idiot.

Because Rafael claimed to be the 2nd coming. At least Clinton has always been a perv.

Really ironic choice of words if discussing adultery.

[Ray76]

Man he blew it. Big time.

Oh, and hiding behind Carly. OMG. Looked pathetic and weak.

Cruz is D.O.N.E.

And I mean FINISHED. I think this will even end his Senate career. He’d better make a deal -quickly- with Donald for a seat on the SCOTUS.

An absolute train wreck. GOPe just trying to drag Ted’s carcass through Wisconsin vote and figure out what next.

Damn Trump is absolutely shredding it.

[Heart-Rest]

She is obviously providing cover here for Cruz, who, if he is innocent, should not be impeded from answering the question (like Carly impeded here), and whether he is innocent or guilty, Carly should not interfere with his answering questions directed to him.

She obviously has some motive to interfere with that question (since she actually did interfere with it), and we should find out why she chose to interfere with that question to Cruz.

That picture which I borrowed from someone in a Google image search, was used to ask a tongue-in-cheek question ("Could it be?"), given the nature of the current NE accusations against Cruz, but since you took it seriously, you must at least put some level of credence in your own mind to the possibility of that kind of situation being true, or you would just be laughing about the picture.

Cruz looks terrible in this clip.

“Have you stopped beating your wife?”

“That question is garbage. It’s a smear. That story was planted by Trump’s henchmen bla bla bla”

vs.

“I have never beaten my wife”

[lodi90]

The comment about Carly refers to her cheating on her first husband will her second and he also was still married at the time also.

Now I can see why Playboy Ted and Snarlin Carly are “attracted” to each other. LOL.
