What a Ted Cruz victory would mean (1 Viewer)

Trump

Cruz

Clinton

Sanders

And the one person people think should drop out is Sanders.  My God, what sort of world have we built?

 
"Okay, your four choices for President are as follows:

A reality TV show host whose companies have multiple bankruptcies,

A religious fanatic who had at least five affairs and got his PAC to pay someone off who knew

A former Secretary of State currently being investigated by a dedicated team of 100 FBI agents

A Jewish former carpenter who wants to make sure everyone gets education and healthcare

Who should drop out first?"

Don't forget the other guy that everyone wants to drop out:

An 18 year veteran of Congress, head of the budget committee that balanced the federal budget and an extremely popular 2 term Governor from Ohio.

If true, the fact that there are 6 women out there who would #### this guy is the most shocking revelation of the entire campaign season.

Yeah I don't believe it. There's the fact that rock n roll and politics are similar in terms of the power thing and the groupies... but Cruz? Scoring multiple times? With Katrina Pierson? Gonna need the video, a blue dress, something more.

 
Now, I'm not a fancypants political operative, but I probably would advised Ted to leave this catchy conclusion out of his public statements on this story.

And I would note that Mr. Stone is a man who has 50 years of dirty tricks behind him. He’s a man for whom a term was coined for copulating with a rodent. Well, let me be clear: Donald Trump may be a rat, but I have no desire to copulate with him

Not so sure I believe the scandal.  All of the women in those photos look a bit older than I'd expect from Ted.  Just a vibe I get. I'm probably way off.

Just a report in the Enquirer, although there's apparently been a whisper campaign for a month ("The Thing"). 

Enquirer has been right on some pretty big stuff before though.  John Edwards, Bill Cosby, Gary Hart.

Well yeah they also said Hillary had 6 months to live and that Obama had 12 mistresses. Also IIRC they claimed Bill Clinto had sex with an alien.

I did not have sex with that woman.  Or that woman.  Or that one.  Or that woman.  Or that other woman.

Seriously.  Given Lyin' Ted's current view by most people, this could actually garner him some admiration in at least being able to pull tail.

My favorite part is the but. He's basically saying, "I know you all would think that I desire sexing a rodent, but actually I wouldn't."

My first impression when we heard that Ted Cruz was being accused of having five affairs by the National Enquirer was "they are probably right on this."   I have two reasons to believe this, first the chances that a self righteous politician who drapes himself in family values is hiding an affair is about 98% likely and secondly, this is the kind of story the Enquirer gets right.  Whenever I read a headline in the Enquire about somebody having six weeks to live, I take the over but when I see they are accusing a politician or celebrity in cheating with their wives I give it at worst a 50/50 shot of being true.  This is what they do and they it better than anybody. It's difficult (and highly illegal) to get medical records but it is easy (and only a little illegal) to get info on TedCruz checking into a hotel and coming out 45 minutes later like he is Don Draper....so I tend to believe this one

Well there was that time NE said Obama had 12 mistresses.

They had a couple others on Obama I'm going to refrain from posting right now.

Question for the legal scholars, what is the burden on NE for publishing this story? Or asked another way, what prevents Cruz from suing the pants off of NE? ... and why wasn't Cruz's first response to say that he is going sue the bejeebus out of NE?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Sure. Go ahead and sue. Just what he needs is to testify in court about it during a presidential election.

What would he have to testify about? If I'm Ted Cruz (and I was innocent :snicker:), I bring Hulk Hogan, on the heel of recent court success, to the next campaign stop and direct the "Whatcha gonna do" threat towards NE.

Cruz is a public figure so the burden is extremely high. NE doesn't lose many suits if any.  They also retract stuff pretty quickly, they just need to sell copy in convenience and grocery stores for a week, that's all they care about. Also so much of their stuff is so outlandish that they can claim no one takes the articles seriously.

That's a smart thing to do if you're innocent.

There are two potential things to sue on: (1) invasion of privacy (like Hulk Hogan), but that's a very high bar for a public figure; or (2) defamation/libel, but the truth is an absolute defense to those claims, so NE's lawyers would get a chance to ask a ton of questions that I assume Cruz, or really anyone, would prefer not to have to answer.
