Donald Trump On National Enquirer’s Allegations Of Adultery By “Lyin'” Ted Cruz

“I have no idea whether or not the cover story about Ted Cruz in this week’s issue of the National Enquirer is true or not, but I had absolutely nothing to do with it, did not know about it, and have not, as yet, read it.

“Likewise, I have nothing to do with the National Enquirer and unlike Lyin’ Ted Cruz I do not surround myself with political hacks and henchman and then pretend total innocence. 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.

“I look forward to spending the week in Wisconsin, winning the Republican nomination and ultimately the Presidency in order to Make America Great Again.”

Ted Cruz Responds National Enquirer Allegations Of Adultery

Via Sen. Ted Cruz’s Facebook page:

I want to be crystal clear: these attacks are garbage. 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.

These smears are completely false, they’re offensive to Heidi and me, they’re offensive to our daughters, and they’re offensive to everyone Donald continues to personally attack.

Donald Trump’s consistently disgraceful behavior is beneath the office we are seeking and we are not going to follow.

Apparently, the rumors of Cruz affairs have been quietly floated in Washington, D.C. for months, according to The Daily Beast.

While there’s no proof that Donald Trump had anything to do with the allegations running rampant on the internet, it is notable that the National Enquirer did endorse Trump two weeks ago.

And it appears to be the first time in the publication’s history the tabloid has “endorsed” a presidential candidate.

Things that make you go “hmm…”

My Favorite Thing Today: Jimmy Kimmel “Mansplains” Campaigning To Hillary Clinton

Funny stuff here.

Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton gets some advice from Jimmy Kimmel via “mansplaining” on how to be more effective on the campaign trail.

As Kimmel defines it, “mansplaining” is “when a man explains something to a woman in a condescending way.”

Within seconds of beginning her stump speech, Kimmel interrupts “You’re shouting. You’re too loud. It comes off as a little shrill,” he pointed out. “For men.”

It ends up very funny. Good on Hillary for playing, and a real point gets made along the way.

CNN Poll: Hillary Clinton Would Beat Donald Trump 56%-42% In General Election

According to a new CNN/ORC poll, 56% of those surveyed believe former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would win against billionaire Donald Trump come November, while 42% say Trump would take it.

Additionally, Democrats feel stronger than Republicans do about their chances in such a hypothetical.

The survey shows 87% of Dems say Clinton would win versus 75% of Republicans who think the Trumpster would prevail.

In terms of favorable/unfavorable, Hillary Clinton scored higher with Democrats (73% favorable/25% unfavorable) versus Donald Trump with Republicans (63% favorable/34% unfavorable).

The Donald also has a serious issue with women voters – 74% of female voters overall have an unfavorable opinion of Trump.

When the majority of voters are women, it’s not hard to figure out you can’t win a general election with 3/4s of women not liking you.

#CruzSexScandal – National Enquirer Claims Ted Cruz Has Had Five Affairs While Married

Ted Cruz is finally dominating the Twitterverse, but not in the way he ever hoped.

#CruzSexScandal

The story all of the political sphere is talking about today – the National Enquirer’s “story” that White House hopeful (and super “Christian”) Cruz may have had at least five affairs while married.

The first thought that crosses my mind is, “Seriously? The National Enquirer?”

Heavy.com breaks down several reasons why the story may not have legs:

The National Enquirer’s March 25 issue features a potentially troubling accusation against 2016 Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz: a private investigator is looking into claims he’s been having an affair with five different women. While the Enquirer didn’t name any names and ran only pixelated photos, the Twittersphere has been rife with speculation and Internet detective work under the hashtag #CruzSexScandal. Internet detectives claim to have identified three of the five women whose pixelated likenesses appear in the Enquirer story, two of whom worked on other candidates’ campaigns in 2016 and one of whom worked for his own.

The “story” has dominated Twitter, with #CruzSexScandal trending worldwide and allegations of hush money and questions about what the other candidates knew flying, especially in light of Cruz’s recent high-profile spat with Donald Trump over the use of Melania Trump’s photo in campaign ads. But there are plenty of reasons to be more than a little skeptical of the Enquirer’s report.

But it’s notable that the NE broke the news on affairs by John Edwards, Jesse Jackson, Gary Hart, Tiger Woods and more. And it would be hard to imagine risking such high profile litigation without some kind of proof.

It is important to note that no proof of any impropriety has been offered; only allegations.

Even ultra-conservative Cruz supporter Ben Shapiro has weighed in:

Trump Supporter Accuses Former Cruz Staffer Of Having Affair With Cruz On Live TV

Wow. This went downhill fast.

Mediaite sets the scene:

A CNN debate between a Donald Trump supporter and former Ted Cruz communications director Amanda Carpenter went off the rails Friday when the Trump supporter suddenly accused Carpenter of having an illicit affair with her former boss.

CNN’s Kate Bolduan was hosting a segment on the feud between Trump and Ted Cruz. “Are you ready for Trump to move on?” she asked Boston Herald columnist Adriana Cohen.

“Oh, absolutely I think we should move on,” she responded. “Where we should move to is The National Enquirer story that has reported that has Ted Cruz has had affairs with five mistresses, including you’ve been named as well, Amanda.”

“I don’t think that’s ‘moving on’ at all, Adriana,” an exasperated Bolduan interrupted.

“If we’re going call Donald Trump’s character into question, I would like Ted Cruz to issue a statement whether or not the National Enquirer story is true, that he has had affairs with many women, including you were named, Amanda,” Cohen repeated. “Will you denounce this story or will you confirm it?”

Note Cohen’s smug face as her little “mean girl” move plays out.

It’s no wonder she’s a Trump supporter.
