Heidi Cruz is silent no more.
Talking to Fox News' Megyn Kelly Tuesday night, the wife of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz spoke out for the first time about the National Enquirer story alleging her husband engaged in affairs with five different women. In the interview, Mrs. Cruz called the report "garbage" and accused Donald Trump of planting the story.
"It's garbage. It's just garbage," she said on "The Kelly File." "This is another example of Donald Trump engaging in the politics of personal destruction, using his henchmen to go out and try to destroy others when he is losing. And I think these silly barbs and made up stories did not come out earlier in the campaign because he felt he was doing ok."

You seem to fail to understand... Cruz’ campaign didn’t send the money. Your “when did he stop beating his wife” approach fails miserably.
Now.. on the subject of rumors...
Since you’re so sure of the National Enquirer’s allegations against Ted Cruz... Have you always felt that way about the NE? How about the way it treated Sarah Palin back in... say... September 2008?
Let’s measure your consistency.
So you refuse to answer the question, why did his PAC transfer a half a million dollars to the Carley campaign. You sound more like a Clintonista.
I don’t know why one PAC would donate to another. Ask them.
Where’s your response to my question?
First off, it is not "his" PAC - by law, he can't have anything to do with it. It may be a PAC that supports him, but he cannot have any input into how they spend the money they raise.
No matter how many times that rather important fact is put in front of the faces of these people, they simply refuse to believe it. Yet... they're so quick to believe every syllable from the likes of Roger Stone and Jim Hoft. Amazing, isn't it.
*crickets
So you really don’t care that the first time in the history of politics one campaign gives a half a million dollars to a rival campaign a month after an accused mistress transfers from those same campaigns.
Remember when Conservatives cared about corruption? Now we have the Clinton rules and lack of transparency in the Cruz campaign. Cheating requires a lack of proof, but the appearance of corruption is corruption.
Now go ahead and call me some more names
I'm saying... for the last time... that was a $$ exchange between two PACs. If the FEC comes out and says there was something untoward about it, that's a different matter. But to rail on about a heretofore nonexistent "controversy" is a waste of time.
Still nothing about my question re: your reaction to the National Enquirer's treatment of Sarah Palin in September 2008?
65K Coloradans voted--they just voted against Trump. That's 11 elections in a row we've won. #WhiningIsntWinning https://t.co/m0NrRh5mFu— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) April 11, 2016
The only thing I would add is from the Washington Post, April 11, 2016, describing what has been called the "Cruz superior ground game" and Cruz's "courting" of the delegates in states where the primaries are finished, Trump has been victorious and moved on, but Cruz's hacks remain behind. Here's the "ground game", defined"
Under regulations established in the 1980s, delegates cannot take money from corporations, labor unions, federal contractors or foreign nationals. But an individual donor is permitted to give a delegate unlimited sums to support his or her efforts to get selected to go to the convention, including money to defray the costs of travel and lodging.
That should explain everything about how "smart" Cruz's "ground game" is.

Right out of the Clinton playbook. We cannot talk about it until there is a ruling and years later when we have it confirmed it is old news.
You are backing the wrong candidate. We all know what happened. Only diehard Paulbots believe otherwise.
Why doesn’t he demand his or Carley’s PAC simply say what happened. If it is so innocent then transparency should be no issue?
Same reason he never answered if he had always been faithful to his wife.
The Drudge revenge offensive has begun
Ted Cruz Defended Ban on Dildos...
No right ‘to stimulate one’s genitals’...
Give us one reason why one campaign PAC would give a rival PAC a half a million dollars. It has never been done.
I’m sure that’s it. It must be. /s
Thank you for your “input.”
So you have no answer, just some snarky little comment.
So a half a million in corruption is a big joke to Cruz supporters.
Guess that is the definition of a Principled Conservative.
Lol, why do I sense a hint of hillary here?
Yea hidey, it’s the ‘vast Trump wing’ trying to bring you down?! bwahahahah
She’s as sneaky as her hubby - no wonder they hooked up, both power hungry weirdos.
AKA - hillary
If the shoe fits, where it!
It’s your lie hidey, tell it how you want.
