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.

Why are we even discussing this? We were lectured by liberals regarding Bill.Clinton that none of this matters.
Sounds like Ted is in B.J. Clinton territory now.
Uh oh ...smoke meet fire ?
Has Donald Trump always been faithful to his wives?
Drip drip DRIP
Holy smokes...
I do not want a man occupying the office President who has ever even *thought* about sexual relations outside the bonds of marriage.
Well, there’s the answer.
Maybe he has one of those ‘modern marriages’. Different rules for different people. So come out with it Ted, we can take it, now that we are forced to focus on it.
They should have asked Carly about that $500k donation from Cruz.
No, Cruz - after Carly got done talking over him - denied the allegations and said they were planted by Donald Trump. That’s what the man said. It also appears Fiorina is Cruz’ likely choice for VP.
Cruz has been lying about other things all day, but whether or not he’s lying about the affairs is unknown at this time.
The guy is guilty as hell.
Has Donald Trump always been faithful to his wives?
***
Has Donald Trump portrayed himself as the Face of God?
If, and I do mean IF these allegations are true, this is worse than Don’s infidelity, because it’s hypocrisy of the highest degree on top of it.
If these allegations are not true, then Cruz really has chosen a bizarre way to handle them.
Then, Fester, you will never vote for any man who has been married.
Even those who have never acted on it, have thought about it. At least once. I would not trust a man who did not admit that.
The least Cruz could do would be honest for a change. We don’t care what he and his wife do. It’s the cover up. Trump has admitted he cheated in the past. He told the truth like a man. And for that no controversy. Cruz should do the same. What’s Cruz afraid of?
Character is destiny.
Nope admitted he wasn’t like an adult.
Actually he has written about that in his books.
It’s called honesty. It’s not always pretty. But the truth is not always pretty.
