Fox News: Cruz Campaign accused of "dirty tricks"

Trump strategist Roger Stone tells NJ 101.5 radio that even if Donald Trump wins a majority of pledged delegates to the Republican convention, Cruz will utilize "Trojan horse" delegates (who are bound to vote for Trump only on the first RNC nomination ballot) to vote on "procedural" matters in the Rules Committee or Credentials committee to block or disallow certain votes. ROGER STONE: Unfortunately just because Donald Trump gets the 1,237 [delegates needed to win], doesn't mean we aren't going to have a brokered convention. My sources, who are pretty good in the Republican Party, indicate to me that Ted...

...1.) Cruz sticks to the scriptCruz rarely deviates from the script.... His backers value the fact that he's preternaturally on message, believing that the chance of him torpedoing his candidacy with a verbal gaffe is low.2.) His rallies have gotten bigger and flashier... But over the past month, Cruz's gatherings have become bigger and flashier... It felt more like a general election swing...3.) So who shows up to these things?Cruz's rallies tend to be pretty packed, both with die-hard supporters clad in Cruz swag and people on the fence.... The majority of the undecided voters I have spoken with have...

Rush Limbaugh is backing Ted Cruz in his immigration battle with Marco Rubio. The conservative talk show host tried to break down what he called a "muddled" back and forth between the two candidates on Thursday."Marco Rubio was part of the Gang of Eight trying to secure amnesty and wishes he wasn't. Ted Cruz never was and they're trying to make it out like he was," Limbaugh said. "At the end of the day when people go vote, people are gonna remember of the two it was Marco Rubio that was a member of the Gang of Eight and Ted...

"The media always wants to turn things into a food fight," Cruz said on WZFG-AM 1100 radio. "The Washington establishment, there's nothing they would like more than seeing Donald Trump and me battling it out in a cage match. And I'm not interested in giving them what they want, I'm sorry to disappoint them. " "I like Donald Trump," he said. "I'm glad he's running. I do not believe Donald is going to be the president. But he has excited a whole lot of people and I want every one of Donald Trump's supporters to remain energized and to show...

He was comfortable after his conversations with Gephardt, but even queasier about Edwards after they met. Edwards had told Kerry he was going to share a story with him that he'd never told anyone else—that after his son Wade had been killed, he climbed onto the slab at the funeral home, laid there and hugged his body, and promised that he'd do all he could to make life better for people, to live up to Wade's ideals of service. Kerry was stunned, not moved, because, as he told me later, Edwards had recounted the same exact story to him, almost...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Bill Clinton is "The Most Influential Man in the World," according to Esquire magazine. The magazine has designated him as "the most powerful agent of change in the world" despite his lack of electoral standing and the fact he was laid low by a heart attack ahead of last year's presidential election. The magazine highlights Clinton's accomplishments in its December issue, which goes on newsstands on Thursday, profiling the world's "Best and Brightest" men and women. Since leaving office, Clinton has been so active that his post-presidency amounts to "a third term" for...

IS THIS THE MEASURE OF EQUALITY?: As it happens, a Ventura California female lawyer is attempting to make the case that the state is discriminating against women. How so? Because topless sunbathing by women is a criminal misdemeanor - for men it is not. Additionally Liana Johnsson is arguing against the inclusion of the "topless misdemeanor" in the list of offenses that gets one included on the Megan's List for sex offenders. In an Orange County case last month a State Appeals Court ruled that anyone convicted of misdemeanor indecent exposure must be added to the list. Orange County public defenders are objecting because of...
