Sen. Ted Cruz claims that Roger Stone, The Daily Caller Men’s Fashion editor, “decides” what Matt Drudge posts on his website Drudge Report.
In an interview with Mike Slater on “The Mike Slater Show” Monday, Cruz said, “If people want to get on the “Trump train,” they can. I actually think we need real and meaningful solutions to the problems in this country, and as president my focus is going to be on three things: jobs, freedom and security.”
Slater asked Cruz what he thought of the Drudge Report and the Texas senator replied, “Look, Drudge Report over the years has done a good job highlighting the excesses of the left and the excesses of liberalism, and about the past month the Drudge Report has basically become the attack site for the Donald Trump campaign.”
“And so every day they have the latest Trump attack. They’re directed at me. It — by all appearances, Roger Stone now decides what’s on Drudge, and most days they have a six-month-old article that is some attack on me, and it’s — whatever the Trump campaign is pushing that day will be the banner headline on Drudge.”
“By the way, they no longer cover news. Remember they used to have things like election results? They don’t put those on Drudge anymore. When we win a state, suddenly the state doesn’t matter. You know Colorado — there was no red siren on Drudge when we won all 34 delegates in Colorado. That wasn’t news, because — I mean listen, that’s fine,” Cruz said.
Later Cruz said, “My number one priority is bringing jobs back to America, raising wages for everyone, making it easier for people struggling to achieve the American Dream. That’s my focus. And I’m going to let others worry about the silly political game and the circus.”
LISTEN (begins at 15:16):
.
The media created and fully supported Trump.
The “friction” that was decried here was totally theater for the low info/cognition crowd.
.
Keep on shouting lies at your rain barrel.
.
Gross immoral behavior is everyone. New York does not have a monopoly on it. Texas is crimefree, scandal free, they have their dirty laundry.
Again, there are millions of hard working New Yorkers who have families and live honest lives. Cruz, and apparently yourself spit on that.

How many towns do you know of where the residents of an entire residency tower would watch a woman being raped in the park across the street, and not one of them call the police?
New York City is the only one that I am aware of.
To save time, yes I’m calling you a liar.

Meh ~
LOL
Drudge has always been out on the edge as far as conspiracy stuff. He goes just so far, and then reins it in. This was especially true on his old radio show, and I think it's just his style of exploring the issues.
On the site, I think he vets things more before he features them since he got burned a few times. Other than the "wacky news" kinds of links which are usually pretty obvious. Notice that he has not run with the National Enquirer stuff about Cruz.
Back in 1998 when he spoke at the National Press Club, I remember thinking "wow this guy is all over the place". But looking back on it, he was certainly right about the news business.
You can easily “google-search” such incidences of injustice as a crowd stands by and does nothing. There was an article of FP yesterday about how a whole crowd watched a woman get beaten up at a Waffle House in Georgia. Will you be a bigot and say those are the values that Georgians have?
Cruz supporter so deluded in thinking, not realizing a Cruz vote(or maybe realizing) is a Hillary and GoPe status quo vote and has been since the FL and OH primary.
Even if America loses we can console ourselves knowing, Ted the Tool’s time is short as national political figure, the next Huckabee, always out there, nobody listening, believing, or caring.
Who was it that first described Trump's values as "New York values"?
Was it not Trump himself?
.
A Trump vote is clearly a vote for Hillary, since he can’t even win among Republicans, but not so for Cruz.
Cruz polls very strong against Hillary, across the country.
Especially in California, the most populous state.
Cruz is, and typifies, America’s future.
.
Write a complete thought, and then ask your question.
Personally speaking, I’m incredibly grateful to every single person who put their time, money, and energy into this primary because we needed something like this to get back to a representative republic.
Done with the character assassination, and will support the end result.
Thank you for your comments.
I understand where you are coming from.
Can’t stand listening to the Snake Teb Cruz, it is like listening to Obama.
Headline coming soon...’Cruz attacks voters, calls them baised in their votes for Donald Trump.’
The head Dominionist is a loser just like his cult of Cruzlims.
Lets not forget how lame and belligerent that hate screed of an opus was. I do believe it is that very supporter who sent me down the Ted Cruz is a scummy politician path with all of their crazy posting.
