The Republican Primary Race Is Filling Up

The National Enquirer Runs Story of Multiple Ted Cruz Affairs? | The Last Refuge

And here we go.

Just to note: I intentionally didn't post this story here. It's the National Enquirer, which requires varying doses of salt for digestion. Whether this turns out to be alien-abduction Enquirier, or John Edwards love child Enquirer, only time will tell.

(But, it would explain, a lot, the actions/behaviors/attitudes of Katrina Pierson and Amanda Carpenter. Even so, I'm not going to believe it, without more evidence.)

Voting for Hilary Clinton is a fairly bright-line determining factor. Anyone who votes for Hilary Clinton is not a Republican. I'll stand by that, regardless of what snarky names you want to call me.

Anyone who votes for hillary clinton isn't an American citizen, as far as I'm concerned, treason is treason.

It makes a lot of sense. Why did Trump pick Katrina for this campaign? Why did Trump egg Cruz on so hard about his wife just before this shoe drops?

Before we all need a cigarette and a nap after "embracing" the Ted Cruz gone wild news, we might want to wait for the facts to come out and consider the source.

FWIW. At this point in 2012 or 08, I'm not sure how this would compare but something to ponder.

Interestingly enough, that's exactly what I said: consider the source, and wait for facts.

Ted Cruz is denying:

Ted Cruz Calls Tabloid Report on Alleged Affairs 'Garbage' - NBC News

 

[T.Lex]

Well... this is getting odd. Although Cruz is saying all the right denial type things.

A National Enquirer story claimed Cruz had five affairs. Two of the women mentioned in the reported affairs have publicly denied the claims.

Has he said "I did not have sex with that, er, those women" yet?

 

[ArcadiaGP]

National enquirer also had front page covers about Obamas affair, clooney, gingrich, oj simpson...

Why oh why take them seriously now?

 

[T.Lex]

Because I think they were right all those times.

Then only one month to go:

Wait. I thought specious allegations that another candidate is responsible for a "hit" was verboten?

Ted Cruz blames Trump for the National Enquirer article:

I want to be crystal clear: these attacks are garbage. For Donald J. Trumpto enlist his friends at the National Enquirer and his political henchmen to do his bidding shows you that there is no low Donald won’t go.

I just want to make sure I understand Cruz logic: Trump blaming Cruz for a SuperPACs attack ad on Melania Trump is bad, but Cruz blaming Trump for a tabloid running an attack article on Cruz is acceptable.

On this one, there are no identified links between Cruz and the PAC. There are identified links (well, one prominent one) between this story and Trump.

have this odd suspicion (hear me out) that the National Enquirer is just trying to sell papers. I know, I know, it sounds nuts.

Ben Carson claims credit for helping Donald Trump act more 'presidential' - POLITICO

Lot of work to do. I don't think I've ever seen a President compare wives with another candidate. Or act disabled to mock a reporter.

And a history of the NE going after other Trump opponents during this campaign. You don't even need to get the tin foil out to envision a tendency here.

I posted a link to this story in post 3863. And to note from that article:

Meanwhile, Trump has been exclusively celebrated in the Enquirer’s pages.

But that could mean anything.

Trump being friends with the National Enquirer CEO is a "link" between Trump and this National Enquirer story?

That's the best you've got?

Well DUH, his presidency would make them unbelievably easy cash.

But if the article is a lie, they can be sued into bankruptcy, so I'd be pretty shocked if the story was a lie.

How does that support Ted Cruz's claim that Trump was involved with the National Enquirer running this specific story?

Cruz's allegation here is no different, in any way whatsoever, from Trump alleging that Cruz was involved with a SuperPAC's attack ad.
