Ted Cruz dodges question about whether he's 'always been faithful' to his wife ...

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.

So flaunting his sin makes him the better man? What great choices we have.

Flaunting?

I’ll second-guess when A) there’s some evidence aside from innuendo and tabloid speculation

Ted Cruz failing to answer the question, when put to him directly by the media, and invited to simply state that he has never cheated on his wife, deflected once again.

Why

Whether you like it or not, that is "evidence aside from innuendo and tabloid speculation"...

Trump is Trump. He’s not lying about his past. Nothing hypocritical about that.
_____________________

There’s a lot of this argument here in this stream. Back and forth about the hypocrisy of a philanderer calling another man a philanderer. I’m not sure I’ve seen that between Trump and Cruz, though.

Anyway, isn’t the bigger issue one of security? Can the person be extorted as a result of the information. It is one of the general things I like about Trump, because I figure that people have been trying to find ways to shake him down his entire adult life.

“What is wrong with these people?”

What’s wrong is that they think that we are easily fooled.

Trump has a whole floors; he doesn't have "neighbors".

You're accusing Trump sans proof; which is NOT going to help poor Teddy any.

Do you think all of our candidates should be asked if they have ever been unfaithful?

If there’s a report about it, yes. I know I know, the report is garbage etc.

Yes, you know exactly where I'm going with this.

Cruz already answered in no uncertain terms, describing the report as "utter lies".

And it was a question Cruz didn't have to answer, because it was a "did you beat your wife question", because there was no credible evidence.

So now we forward to today, and the absurdity gets worse. They ask Cruz a question no other candidate has ever had to answer. "Have you ever been unfaithful"?

And to a person like Cruz who is an intelligent person, and a person who believes in liberty and privacy, a "did you beat your wife" type of question is an absurdity and one that perhaps would make him want to balk at answering.

>>It has gotten so bad I really am wondering if he hasn’t gone of the deep end a bit...seems almost deranged at times.

Like his friend, Mr. Beck?

That’s not an answer, it’s deflection.

That’s a lie.

Video of the exchange

The optics on that clip are not good for Ted Cruz, no matter how you slice it...

“Cruz is being a deceiver and selling God for votes.”

He sure is. A modern day Elmer Gantry.

I've never heard Cruz quote bible verses except maybe certain evangelical audiences.

Does he do it more often than that?

Trump has zero to do with this. This is up to Cruz supporters to decide if this bothers them or not.

All Cruz had to do was simply say he had never been unfaithful to his wife-he didn’t.

“Like his friend, Mr. Beck?”

I think I know what is wrong with Mr. Beck...he suffered brain damage (he claims) and I think it is affecting him mentally. I think the stress is getting to Cruz...and exposing mental problems...
