The National Enquirer story that alleges Ted Cruz had extramarital affairs with five women is a "festering boil" that could sink the Texas senator's presidential bid unless takes immediate legal action to discredit it, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay tells Newsmax TV. "I think if he would sue The Enquirer right now, it would put the story to bed," DeLay, a Texas Republican, said Monday on "The Steve Malzberg Show."
Cruz has angrily denied any truth to the Enquirer report and charges that Republican presidential front-runner is behind it — an allegation Trump strongly denies.
"He needs to get a hold of some people that know how to handle this kind of thing because this is so typical of politicians. They just wish that the story would go away," DeLay said.

That’s way more the Cruzifer is doing!
You are welcome to think whatever you like, many are.
I think there’s no evidence and I’m waiting for some.
The Gary Hart defense. How did that work out for Sen. Hart?
Well that changes everything and makes it just fine then./s
I can read that he’s talked about it when pressed by the MSM but I can’t find anywhere where he has boasted about it (affair with Maples). Can you help out?
cruz will never drop out ,because of two reason.
is ego is massive.
The other is because he is helping the establishment get their convention.
Maybe there is no evidence and maybe there is , but why not just answer the simple of question have you ever cheated on your wife?
Every time the Cruz campaign invokes Trumps names as the fault for this being a story, the story grows.
Dumbest strategy I have ever heard... unless he’s using the press to get coverage because he’s planning a mea culpa.
Not sure how that will go over when you’re the God candidate.
Plus it won’t end there.. the press will begin digging for real
He said he believes “marriage” is between one man and 5 women? would explain his Mormon friends?
No. He can't sue because he is a public figure.
A public figure cannot sue on the basis of incorrect, harmful statements. He’d have to prove that the NE knowing published false statements with malice. There is no way to prove that NE acted with malice. They write sensationalized stories designed to get publicity. That’s not malice.
I don’t really care what he did in 1991 as a private person. I do care about someone running for president who him and his supporters are trying to SELL as GOD’s righteous and holier than THOU self anointed one.
He had an affair while married to Ivana. He boasted in his book about having many affairs with married women. Both are despicable. Another poster suggested he was never unfaithful.
Any shock value is long gone.
LOL
or maybe he means marriage is one man, one woman and have a bunch of women on the side.
I have seen posts where they state so what if he has , it is between them and not us.
They seem to ignore the hypocrisy of cruz and his slogan of trusted TED
You may not care, but I do. It’s not that he did these things, it’s that he brags about them and has no remorse for them. For the record this does not mean that I would give Cruz a pass for infidelity if proven true. Honestly, I don’t like either of them and I am uncertain about what I am going to do.
Damn I must have slept through that debacle!
OK well you got Cruz and I’ve got Trump and may the better Man win.
Read my last post, I don’t like Cruz either. I am really not for anyone at the moment.
