Shakugan posted:So Salon have picked it up, running with the angle that it shouldn't matter. Because politics these days is my team vs your team. Republicans could be having abortions once a month with mistresses and no one would give a poo poo because it's their team. It's like rooting for the Bears.

Skwirl posted:Saying it doesn't matter allows Salon to say they would never stoop so low as to cover a sex scandal, while covering a sex scandal. Yea it's an old trick. Say 'aw geeze guys this shouldn't be news at all, sad really. Anyway here's the thing we say shouldn't be news, presented as news'

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Cruz on Enquirer piece: "It is garbage, complete & utter lies. It is a tabloid smear and it has come from Donald Trump and his henchmen." Well, now that Trump has been invoked directly, let's see where this goes.... E: should be in every post from now on when referencing the GOP or this election cycle

Instead of being actually incensed, he still sounds like he's countering a debate attack. I don't know what counts as cheating according to lizardman biology and ethos, but Ted Cruz definitely fertilized another lizardwoman's clutch

Bernice Anders posted:TED CRUZ DENIES SEX SCANDAL No, Ted didn't deny it. Someone else did on his behalf, which he can walk back if he decides he needs to come clean and then answer differently. He will only get one chance to PERSONALLY give a definitive answer to this problem, and I'm sure he's trying to figure out what to say right now.

Despera posted:Let's commit a career destroying move so someone who is winning can win even harder That's assuming the people involved are rational actors. But the thing is, Trump is winning, but there is a big question mark as to whether he'll get the required delegates for a lock. If Trump is 1 delegate short, it opens him up to being ratfucked. By destroying Cruz--even if it turns out to be false, this still hurts him in the short term--Trump's margin is assured. I mean, he could still be ratfucked by a rule change, but that'll be an even harder sell to the base if they do that.

Count Freebasie posted: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. The right has, at various points, tried to paint her as a brain-damaged lying murderous lesbian witch, and none of it stuck, what's Donald Trump going to do?

Earliest filing deadline for an independent candidate is Texas, May 9th. They need 80k signatures from people who didn't participate in either party primary, though, so the time to get that effort started is "pretty soon". https://ballotpedia.org/Filing_deadlines_and_signature_requirements_for_independent_presidential_candidates,_2016

Pinterest Mom posted:He said it was "lies". That's a denial. You're missing my point. That wasn't Cruz's personal tweet. It was someone else's. If it comes to a point where he has to own up to it due to overwhelming evidence, he can always say a staff-member tweeted that without my explicit blessing. I want to see Ted's actual statement, straight from the goblin's mouth.

Sure she's been attacked by The Right. But not one-on-one in a debate with Trump. Don't conflate Trump attacks with standard, past GOP attacks. He slings poo poo on a whole other level.

Yeah, if they were serious about it, they'd need to find someone willing and start today. Paul Ryan is probably the only one who has any real backing from the conservatives/tea party/libertarians. Until he backs Trump, that is. After this year I think it'll be held against him and will, hopefully, fade away forever.
