Sen. Ted Cruz claims that Roger Stone, The Daily Caller Mens 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. Theyre directed at me. It by all appearances, Roger Stone now decides whats on Drudge, and most days they have a six-month-old article that is some attack on me, and its 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 dont put those on Drudge anymore. When we win a state, suddenly the state doesnt matter. You know Colorado there was no red siren on Drudge when we won all 34 delegates in Colorado. That wasnt news, because I mean listen, thats 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. Thats my focus. And Im going to let others worry about the silly political game and the circus.
LISTEN (begins at 15:16):
Cruz in January: We’ve got Drudge. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/01/24/ted_cruz_we_have_got_the_drudge_report_the_mainstream_media_stranglehold_is_over.html
can’t listen to cruz anymore,. not because he comes across as another sleazy ivy league, not because he is full blown establishment, but because all he ever talks about is trump
Is Mr Trump getting in the way of his deserved position and cruz does not like it.
Maybe if cruz could actually finish his first term and do his job he would get a bit more credit and
Nice. You forgot one thing chum. Stone worked on ALL of Reagans campaigns. ALL OF THEM!
So, keep chirping chum. You will get it right someday.
I would like to know why all the cruz people are not more concerned about cruz involvement with Beck or the establishment
fixed it for you.
cruz is proud of his massive win in CO where no one voted and the voters were not allowed to have a say who they want.
well done cruz, you have shown us what another ivy league sleazy lawyer will act.
---Really? So the 53% of Florida voters that did not vote for Trump, their votes should translate into delegates? or not? Trump took all 90 delegates., so the 53% don't matter, by his own standards, Donald wants them all to go to hell. According to his own calculus, Trump only should have 43 of Florida's delegates, and the rest should go to the other candidates.
Every registered Republican in Colorado that WANTED to vote, did vote. Caucus occurred on March 1st. I was there. I was very nice to the pathetic Trump turnout at my precinct. They had their chance to say their piece, and we listened. And then we voted. And Trump's lone delegate candidate (we had 4 slots to fill) LOST. Suck it up. Try being consistent.
“One man one vote!”
I believe that is a quote from Al Gore.
That's what every POTUS candidate in the last 50 years has said.
But Donald Trump says HOW he will do it.
Then people like Cruz and his GOPe supporters and the media turn around and accuse Trump of not being specific. Not having a plan. Pandering to the stupid voters etc.
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. Thats my focus.
Hilarious. Harvard boy TPA Teddy plays the populist. What a fraud.
Rest assured that will change shortly.
3 new headlines a day for a few days...or so.
.
Drudge is a stupid antisemite.
He is solidly on the wrong side of every issue of significance.
If you think THAT is a substitute for Drudge you are dumber than anyone of your many detractors has posted
>> I would like to know why all the Trump people are not more concerned about Trumps involvement with Roger Stone <<
Mr. Trump does no wrong, speaks no wrong, thinks no wrong. He’s perfection personified. Get over it.
Why is it that no Trumpers are concerned about Trump's sucking up to Harry Reid and donated to Reid not in the distant past, but for Dirty Harry's current term?
Oh, that's right, poor, poor Donald did it to make a real estate deal.
Trump doesn't like guys that get captured
..
...and I don't like guys that put their company ahead of their country.
Bad idea Ted.
.
The “establishment” are fast becoming Cruz lackeys.
Cruz hasn’t gone to them, they have come begging to Cruz.
Its making Trump’s head explode. Wait til he gets the frosh treatment in NY.
I would like to know why Cruz people are okay with Ted Cruz lying about Roger Stone "Directing" what goes on at Drudge. Cruz is just making up slander to attack conservatives now. He does not complain that he has Beck, Levin and Hush Bimbo covering his lying ass, all of whom have accepted establishment money, but he'll falsely tie Drudge to Stone, no problem.
.
Cruz has the voters rooting for him.
Watch Indiana!
