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):
By the way, this statement is also built on the other Cruzer lie, that it was Stone who was behind the National Enquirer story, despite multiple confirmations it was Marco Rubio. Cruzers continue to repeat this lie because, like Cruz, they're filthy liars.
Hitting the King of the new media is NOT smart.
Kind of like hitting those NY values.
Not smart.
so much for never picking a fight with a guy who buys digital ink by the barrel
If you took a poll of Republicans, Drudge may be the single most respected/trusted figure across the entire spectrum, far more so than any politician.
It wasn’t some Senator who blew the story about Lewinsky open.
>> Where Trump takes it farther, to his credit, is to make sure trade deals benefit American business <<
How is Mr. Trump gonna negotiate complex international trade deals when he can’t even handle the delegate selection process in Colorado, North Dakota, Louisiana and other states?
Moreover, he says he’ll hire “the best people” to implement his programs. Yet he hasn’t yet even recruited a state-wide manager for the all-critical California primary. Where are all those best people? The world is waiting.
A citizen? A citizen of Canada?
I want him to prove his mother didn’t renounce her citizenship so she could sponge on the Canadian welfare system, because dear old dad flew the coup on them.
Care to provide any evidence for Drudge being an "anti-semite"?
Really Ted? Drudge was dead silent on the mistresses rumors.
How is Cruz going to handle international trade deals? By letting his lip quiver and his eyes well up with crocodile tears every time someone speaks ill of him?
He better send a woman out to lecture Drudge...
What a Nancy Boy Cruz is.
He makes Obama look Alpha.
Drudge replied with 2 headlines: “Cruz in January: We have got the Drudge report!” Article is about Cruz praising Drudge. Then the next headline: “Cruz in April: Drudge no longer reports news!”
You'd think a guy with a 98% lifetime conservative rating at Heritage leading the party would be welcome news on a conservative site.
So there's that.
Maybe Cruz can have a press conference to thank you. Maybe he'll even let you get a matching tattoo on your arm, if you're good.
Good article I have noticed that Drudge is decidedly pro trump and anti Cruz

Two faced Ted. Typical flim flaming career politician.
About as stupid as you are.
Here is libbylu’s opus.
We should post this every time you post.

Conservatives no longer accept the Free Trade and cheap labor cult that got Cruz that 98 percent rating.
...and now apparently you're a plagiarist, to boot.
Trump first used that line about Iowa, much to the happily panicked "Oh NOES!" of GOP-e types.
Yeah, Uniparty.
She can share kneepads with Ted.
Thanks, but when I look for someone to speak for conservatives I’ll probably look somewhere else.
