Cruz just said the Trump planted the story in the Nat. Inquirer.

[riversedge]

on fox. and so it starts. They had cruz's voice on. He said it was a lie. just a few minutes-

[AxionExcel]

1. This will get a lot uglier before all is said and done. Republicans at their finest

[ViseGrip]

2. then Cruz can sue...is he?

[Else You Are Mad]

17. He won't sue..

Because, not only will Cruz and those that would have knowledge of the affairs, those that he had sex with would be deposed and question under oath if they had an affair, which, if he cheated, is not something he would want on the record.

[FLPanhandle]

3. Perfect. Cruz has to come out and deny it.

True or not, I hope this help take the bastard down.

[RandySF]

4. Well, he just went out and denied it

He better be telling the truth now, or pray that damning facts don't get out. All he really had to say was 'Jesus forgave me' and this would be all over,

[riversedge]

10. Yup. Cruz denied it said NI story was garbage. "complete and utter lies"

[Iliyah]

5. This will garner T-rump an additional 10%

[riversedge]

6. msnbc saying the same. That it is LIE and that Trump planted the story. but they

are broadcasting Trumps response. Says he knows nothing about it --

[salin]

15. Yet his very public spox is one of the women - and he knew nothing about it?

Not believable.

[Else You Are Mad]

23. Exactly.

I think this is the real "beans" he was going to spill, not that BS stuff his talking head said.

[malaise]

7. And so it spreads like wild-fire

being fueled by heavy winds. Get the popcorn and chocolates!!!

[riversedge]

8. I think this is the first that the msnbc has reported it.

[napkinz]

9. this is funny ...

13. Freaking hilarious

I'm lovin' it - I don't give a flying fugg if it's true - they are all ReTHUG LIARS.

I love how GEM$NBComcast is covering it - hahahahahahha - because the candidate has responded.

[Else You Are Mad]

11. Just to remind everyone...

It was the National Enquirer that broke the John Edwards affair scandal.. and that turned out to be true. I wouldn't discount this article just because it was in the NE.

I really, really hope it is. Even having a chance of having a Cruz presidency is just so existentially terrifying.

[riversedge]

14. Yes, Trump reminded all of that in his short response to Cruz denial.

[HERVEPA]

16. Enquirer, not Inquirer

And yes, the stories are usually accurate.

[Else You Are Mad]

18. Thanks for the heads up. nt.

[riversedge]

19. Someone has a poster on it already--

[Kingofalldems]

20. Trump's response:

[FLPanhandle]

21. Nice return of the ball

Now it's back in Cruz's side of the court.

[riversedge]

25. Doubt he came up that. But it is to the point.

[MowCowWhoHow III]

31. Ouch! That's a brutal response.

Cruz is now performing without a safety net - one slip and he's gone.

24. His statement was hilariously awful. I swear more people would love him if he had just come out and

said "ratfucking."

[RandySF]

26. And Cruz just kept in the headlines.

[Angry Dragon]

27. when repubs have sex it is just pushing Satan out

[Bob_Roony]

28. Here's the Perfect defense TED:

"I did Not have sexual relations with That Woman".

[tavernier]

29. If he had just chuckled and said

"And Donald thought HE was the sexy one", and then just did a "get outta here" wave of the hand, he would have been better off.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. As the old saying goes, If you're explaining, you're losing.

LBJ was said to have spread a rumor that his opponent was a pig-fucker. An aide said, "Lyndon, you know he doesn't do that!" and LBJ replied, "I know. I just want to make him deny it."

[CincyDem]

32. Say what you will about the Enquirer but...

...as has been mentioned, they were first on the scene with John Edwards. IIRC they were also the first to break the Gary Hart story and they were very early (possibly first) with Jennifer Flowers.

They're a sleazeball rag not fit for wrapping week old fish. That said, they do seem to dot their i's and cross their t's when it comes to sex reporting. Several have said they must be pretty sure of themselves to include pictures of the women. This isn't just some "he had sex with 5 women" story...it's "he had sex with THESE 5 women". Much more specific and, likely from a legal perspective, much more demanding of verifiable support. Unfortunately, his external persona feels consistent with this kind of behavior -

I hope for Heidi's sake, this turns out to be one of the few, if only, high profile accusations that they have wrong. I hope for the country's sake, they're right again and we can ensure he doesn't stain our future with his sanctimonious holier than thou view of the world.

[world wide wally]

33. I think Cruz has the advantage here.

What woman would ever admit to having sex with him?

[riversedge]

37. ha ha. True. Yet it is Cruz who is accused. So he will have to keep denying

it over and over--unless one of the women steps up and publicly tells her story.

[riversedge]

34. Lyin' Ted lands this one in a weird place

Odd--wonder if cruz said this for sure?? whow

35. If this is true,

My thoughts and prayers go out to the 5 survivors.

36. Ted Cruz eats his boogers.

And yesterday Microsoft called Lying Ted "the Cuban Hitler".
