I agree it was published first last week. Largely I see it taking root today right in time for Wisconsin voters to ponder.

The clear point I see these articles are trying to get across to voters is, perhap Trump is fumble thumbs on twitter, perhaps he really is a twit, perhaps he doesn't pause and think before opening his mouth, yes he back pedals on issues like abortion, however, he whole life isn't a question mark.

Here is another pulp rag asking that question:

This is obviously a trial by press. It doesn't seem to matter if there is no hard evidence. Of interest to me is what is the point the mainstream press will print stories about the impact of these scandal mongers.

Kinda funny though. While you knock them you add an additional link yourself.

Imagine how excited the Trump groupies would be! A story in a tabloid with unfounded rumors and gossip about Hillary's supposed extra-curricular activities could force Trump into the background.

Hmm... Starting several dozen threads from silly websites read by far-right extremists and rag sheets from the Brits could break CD.

Ted Cruz Affair Rumors Circle After National Enquirer Claims Madam

This thread is intended to discuss whether voters will be influenced by these articles.

There may have been a lame attempt at damage control when someone published a clearly doctored page from a list before the attorney with the list made it public.

Note: The attorney with the list, Montgomery Sibley, still to my knowledge has not released the list. Yet these articles claim his name is on it.


This prostitution operation was in business for 11 years. Maybe Cruz was a client Maybe not. He was single during the 90's.

The madam was not murdered There was no question her death was suicide on her mother's property, while her mother was home.

I am no fan of Cruz and I find the sensationalism will help contribute to a Cruz as victims thing and could potentially result in more votes for him

If he engaged the service of this agency it could have been well before he met Heidi.

Even so, he's been asked now several times if he ever cheated on her and refuses to answer. No big deal for anyone else, but when you're promoting yourself as an evangelical and Bible thumper with high morals, it does say a lot about who he is as a person.
He could easily just say NO I never have and never will cheat on my wife and let it be. But he can't seem to do that.

I don't think anyone cares. And I agree--it would get him more votes and it would enhance his image as he is thought of of being a prude.

I am kinda surprised and impressed that conservatives here have not blamed Hillary for the madam's death, because you know . . . . . . . Vince Foster!! Bonus: Benghazi!!!

They are killing Cruz with groundless innuendos (as it appears now). Hillary will be prepared for this onslaught, since she's been dealing with it for the last 25 years or so.

Everyone should support the local economy and provide jobs for women.
