Nope. It gives it total credibility. The sad thing is that this is coming out more or less on Friday which is a dead news day.

Why would he, and why would she do it?

It's best for Trump if he's not seen as responsible and has plausible deniability. He'll make offhand comments, but why would he risk pushing someone to come out? Especially since she probably wouldn't since it would hurt her own career, and asking her would just make her turn on Trump.

Right, she's almost certainly angling for a high profile job in the hypothetical Trump administration and if she admitted to an affair with Ted she would almost certainly have to resign plus if this affair took place it almost certainly did in 2012-ish, not post Trump, this story has been quietly rumored for a long time, best to deny and let it drip drip drip now that it's gained traction.

If she admitted the affair it would be career suicide and make it look like Trump put her up to it.

He literally said he's "spilling the beans about Heidi" like a day ago if he wanted "plausible deniability" announcing it publicly is a lovely way of doing it.

That being said yeah who the gently caress knows for all we know Trump and Cruz tag teamed her at some point in the last 2 years.

How the gently caress doesn't it matter when Cruz is running on a platform of Christian purity and is a major proponent of "the sanctity of marriage"?

Mass denial. If it seems to start hurting his bottom line, he can always say that he's refound Jesus and beg his supporters for forgiveness, which actually works for Republicans.

Whether or not Hillary will win the GE, anyone who doesn't think that Trump is going to paint her with several coats of poo poo is naive. He may come off as knee-jerk and reactionary, but if you think he isn't amassing a stockpile of ammo to launch at her when the time comes that she's his only target, you're a fool. He's mining for or already has good dirt on her, I'm sure, and he will leverage every mistake, and dumb thing she's ever said or done. He won't win by making himself into a better man by the GE, he will try to win by tearing her to pieces and making her look like a manipulative, lying criminal, who can't be trusted.

If the two of them get to square-off it will be beautiful. It won't be a boxing it match, it will be a Kickboxer broken glass on your wraps fight.

Much like how John Kennedy told voters in 1960 in West Virginia that it was just AWFUL to say Hubert Humphrey had dodged the WWII draft, just AWFUL to suggest he had shirked his patriotic duty.
