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):
Very well said.
There is a new alternative to Drudge for actual conservatives:
How stupid did drudge think we were?
>I cannot believe that I have witnessed the day when a so called “conservative” rants against Drudge! Are you kidding me?
It’s really short sighted. Drudge is going to be such a huge asset in the general election.
This has been a disaster for Cruz. He has single highhandedly unified millions and millions of voters WHO WILL NOT BE DISENFRANCHISED. NEVER!! People in this country are outraged at this Stalinist execution of democracy!! “GESTAPO” is far too kind . This is now going to get really ugly for the cruzers.
Wait a minute! Wait just a damn minute.
According to all the Cruzbots on this site, and being guided by their higher wisdom, Cruz is WHINING!!!!!!!! He not only WHINING, he is WHINING AND BITCHING!!!!
Has Cruz been complaining about NRO, Townhall or Red State? I’ll have to check with the internets
He was asked about drudge and he answered...the truth is both drudge and Brietbart are pro trump websites. He didn’t bring it up the interviewer did. Drudge did have a dishonest link today.
Brietbart is unreadable. And drudge is boring.
It can change from”rah-rah” to some very private and ugly personal info coming out about Cruz that will make the NE stuff look tame. Remember this is the same Matt Drudge of the Clinton/Lewinsky blue dress fame.
Any skeletons in Cruz’s closet will soon come out now and I am sure there are some and I’m not just talking about cheating on his wife
Cruz is no longer disliked. He is despised. REMEMBER COLORADO!!!
So Cruz has no sites or blogs rooting for him?
Drudge Report Pushing Old Story From August To RILE Up Trump Supporters

I am still wondering why Cruz supporters aren’t concerned with Cruz’s connections with Neil Bush and Charles Foster.
Incredibly stupid to attack Cruz.
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.

Sounds like Obama blaming Bush for 7 years, now we have to listen to Cruz blame Trump.
Nice, except it is a lie. http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2015/mar/27/facebook-posts/facebook-meme-says-ted-cruz-flip-flopper-president/
He never said it. Keep spreading lies and sooner or later, they catch up with you.
>I am still wondering why Cruz supporters aren’t concerned with Cruz’s connections with Neil Bush and Charles Foster.
They don’t care. Just like Cruz they’re willing to do anything to win.
Roger Stone? How about Cruz’s involvement with Goldman Sachs, Glenn Beck, Neil and Jeb Bush, CFR, etc? Wow, you sure are stretching things. Roger isn’t part of Trump’s campaign unlike the establishment whores Ted surrounds himself with.
With all the demeaning photos Matt has posted of Cruz and Rubio this year plus all the links to only Trump rallies is all the evidence one should need to know about whom Drudge supports and is actively promoting.
I don’t see how that can be a lie. It’s got quotes, dates and even a photograph of Ted Cruz. And that bit of a bump in his coat pocket? Pretty sure that is a pack of condoms.
