Ted Cruz Blames Donald Trump for ‘Garbage’ National Enquirer Story
Source: Time
Capping an already remarkable week that left presidential candidates feuding over spouses, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday blamed rival Donald Trump for planting a story in the National Enquirer that asserted Cruz had carried on several extramarital affairs.
Cruz strongly denied the report, which quoted Trump adviser Roger Stone. “I want to be crystal clear: these attacks are garbage,” the Texas Senator wrote in a Facebook posting. “For Donald J. Trump to 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.”
Trump said in his own Facebook post that he did not plant the story and has not yet read it. “Ted Cruz’s problem with the National Enquirer is his and his alone, and while they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards, and many others, I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin’ Ted Cruz,” Trump wrote. A Trump ally, columnist Adriana Cohen, was ready to repeat the accusations. Cohen confronted one of Cruz’s alleged mistresses—live on CNN, where the woman is an analyst. The woman denied that sort of relationship.
In a campaign that already has seen candidates sparring over the size of their genitals, it really should not have come as a shock that the candidates are now debating the merits of an Enquirer story, let alone pushing it as though it were as valid as any reason to vote for or against a candidate. And with 227 days until Election Day, there’s no telling just how much more afield this campaign will go. There’s little reason to expect serious policy discussions to play a major role, at least at the moment.

WHAT they report is reprehensible and useless but true. Or, at least, legally true as stated.
Looks like this is a lame attempt to make Cruz look "sexy." 
Just sayin' 
I think the public is far more interested in an accurate bean count as those beans do fall and just as interested in all the lies Cruz will spill out in defense of his true character.
Policy is just policy ,i mean really, what's to discuss !
Chris here "
Now that's real food for thought ,a good old fashion bean count !
Actually I must put a call through to the Donald-I think I just had a effineny- epiffiny, oh, the hell, a brain fart, and new hat design.
Make America Great Again and below that ,
Stop Cruz From Passing Gas !
These two are no Mad Max; but more like Mel Gibson himself.

Ted Cruz today denied cheating on his wife with five women - and claimed it was Donald Trump and his 'henchmen' who were spreading a smear, prompting a scathing response from the Republican frontrunner.
Cruz publicly denied cheating on his wife Heid with five woman - described in the National Enquirer as including a 'hot babe' and a '$1,000 a night call girl'.
And he accused Donald Trump and his henchmen of being behind it saying his rival had acted to 'enlist' the Enquirer to spread a smear.
That prompted Trump to issue a lengthy statement denying being involved, but which said of the National Enquirer 'they were right about O.J. Simpson, John Edwards and many others.'
'I certainly hope they are not right about Lyin' Ted Cruz,' he said.
The extraordinary spectacle of the Christian conservative candidate defending the integrity of his marriage unfolded in the space of hours.
