Kasich has it all figured out...Just needs to wait it out and then the enquirer will take them all down....

[BlueSwan]

This is a lie. 99.99% of women wouldn't touch Ted Cruz with a ten foot pole.

Nah...everybody who's ever worked with Ted Cruz thinks he's an asshole and we all know that assholes tend to get laid quite a lot.

[Penelope]

Three of the women have been identified as it made the Twitter rounds. I'd say allegedly identified, but the pictures seem fairly damning.. Amanda Carpenter, political advisor and speechwriter, and former staffer for Sen. Jim DeMint and Sen. Ted Cruz. Katrina Pierson, the Trump campaign's national spokeswoman, who was a strong supporter of Ted Cruz's 2012 senate campaign run. Finally, Sarah Isgur Flores, the former deputy campaign manager for Carly 2016.

Cruz is on record singing Katrina Pierson's praises and his father endorsed her longshot primary campaign against Pete Sessions in 2014. She also appeared on stage with him during his election night victory rally way back in 2012.

Oh also, in July 2015, a Ted Cruz affiliated SuperPac donated $500,000 to Carly Fiorina's campaign...

[Orthogonian Society Treasurer]

No wonder he won Utah.

[Classic Conservative]

Oh yes I remember reading in article in this magazine in 2012 saying the HW Bush was on his death bed.

[Beezer]

It's always the religious conservatives that can't keep their dicks in their pants...

[Blair]

Literally came here to say that they were right about Edwards

[mds32]

Of course he would post this here.

[RightBehind]

I have my doubts considering a tabloid is reporting on this.

If, however, it's true, another fine example of a Christian man from the party of family values.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

I believe this, absolutely. Natty inquirer has a solid track record. It's amazing to see people writing it off so fast

This is true, but most people only say so when it goes with something they believe.

[yankeesfan]

Roger Stone, a Trump advisor, is quoted in this article, so Trump had to know this article was being released.  That should call into question some of his recent decision.

"What's worse? People who actually believe the trash in tabloids, or the ones who know it's false &spread it anyway? #stupidity on all levels"

From Trump's spokeswoman (one of the alleged mistresses).

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

The Enquirer business model requires them to print scandals. If they're true, so much the better. But so long as they have enuf to ensure they don't lose a libel suit, they'll run with it. Not all of their smoke has a fire associated with it.

Wait... wait. So, the National Enquirer is suggesting that Cruz had an affair with Katrina Pierson? That doesn't make any sense. Why would Trumps spokesperson hide that? I mean, it doesn't look good for her, but it destroy's her bosses main opponent.

Also, Sarah Isgur Flores, despite being a conservative, is a national treasure. No way she slept with Ted.

[Leinad]

Politics and OJ Simpson?

Did OC make this?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Just take a look at Cruz and then Carpenter, Pierson and Flores. If this is true he's surprisingly capable of landing women far outside his league.

Does the rag assert that this is all fact (in which case libel problems perhaps), or are just quoting others as making the claim (in which event, no libel, and also no definitive claim of bed play)?  This is a rather crucial distinction. I might note that the Enquirer story that Hillary was sick was in the latter category - not a definitive claim of truth ala the John Edwards scandal where the Enquirer outed him.

[sg0508]

Here is my question....does the average American really care? Unfortunately, we've gone so far down the crapper with "values" in that you almost expect infedity with marriages nowadays to the point where nobody is surprised anymore.

I do understand that for Cruz's base support, this could hurt, but the average Joe/Schmo out there, assuming this is true, probably has that "whatever" attitude.

Thoughts?

He's a Senator.

He's a Senator.

And Rosa DeLauro is a representative. Janet Napolitano was a governor and secretary. What's your point?

It's the later. It quotes anonymous sources alleging that political operatives are investigating rumors.  Then they interview Roger Stone, a Trump advisor, who says that there's been rumors circulating.  You can make out the text from the OP.

It's obviously a hit-piece circulated by Trump
