Ted Cruz ‘Affair’ Rumors Peddled by Marco Rubio’s Allies
TheDailyBeast.com:
The senator accused Donald Trump of planting a National Enquirer sex scandal story. If that’s true, Trump wasn’t the only Cruz opponent trying to traffic in smears.
If you enjoy daydreaming about Ted Cruz’s sex life, then today is your lucky day.
The National Enquirer alleged on March 23 that the senator has had five extramarital affairs. And the descriptions it provided of the women—along with barely-pixelated headshots of them—left little to D.C. insiders’ imaginations as to who the Enquirer had accused of being Cruz paramours.
“A HOOKER, A TEACHER & COWORKERS: 5 romps that will destroy Ted Cruz!” the Enquirer piece boldly claims, in an article that includes a wild “sex-in-closet” allegation.
Cruz fired back on Friday, charging that the piece was baseless and that the Enquirer was taking its marching orders straight from “Donald Trump and his henchmen.”
The truth behind the rumor-mongering, however, is a little more complex. A half-dozen GOP operatives and media figures tell The Daily Beast that Cruz’s opponents have been pushing charges of adultery for at least six months now—and that allies of former GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio were involved in spreading the smears.
For months and months, anti-Cruz operatives have pitched a variety of #CruzSexScandal stories to a host of prominent national publications, according to Republican operatives and media figures. The New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg News, Politico, and ABC News—reporters at all those outlets heard some version of the Cruz-is-cheating story. None of them decided to run with rumors. Those publications’ representatives all declined to provide on-the-record comments when The Daily Beast reached out for this article.
How ironic. Now will the conservative Hate Trump crowd who are doing their all to make sure Hillary wins in November, come out and admit that Trump had absolutely nothing to do with this scandal? Of course not, because that's how bitter they are at Trump becoming the GOP nominee. Then too, will any of them condemn whoever it is that was behind the 'slut-shaming' of Trump's wife? Nah, hell will freeze over before that happens.

Ben Carson Doesn't See 'A Political Path Forward'
CNN.com:
Ben Carson doesn't "see a political path forward" in the Republican presidential nomination process, and will not attend Thursday's GOP presidential debate in his hometown of Detroit, he said in a statement.
But Carson stopped short of saying he was officially leaving the race.The retired neurosurgeon and his aides reached the decision after a staff meeting Wednesday morning in Baltimore following a disappointing finish on Super Tuesday.In an email to supporters, campaign chairman Bob Dees said the "political efforts must come to a close.""We have often said that 'reality is our friend.' The reality is that we together have been on an amazing journey -- the right candidate for the right cause for the right reasons at the right time," Dees wrote."No doubt many of you have tears as you read this, just as I tearfully write these words -- tearfully because the reality is that our political efforts must come to a close," he added. "Gratefully, the grass roots movement that has given new voice to 'We the People' and has inspired millions will continue."Carson said he will go into more detail during an appearance at the Conservative Political Action Committee Conference near Washington on Friday.
I've been said that Ben Carson was never going to be President. But if he's serious about making a difference in politics, either start speaking out around the country on how conservative policies can help Black America or run for a local congressman or Senator office.

San Francisco Puts Sanctuary Before Funding
RealClearPolitics.com:
Ever since Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez shot and killed Kate Steinle on a warm July evening as she strolled along Pier 14 with her father, San Francisco's Sanctuary City policy has enraged swaths of the rest of America. Lopez-Sanchez, you see, had been convicted of multiple felonies and deported five times. Immigration and Customs Enforcement would have deported the Mexican national if he had not been handed over to the San Francisco Sheriffs Office on a decades-old marijuana charge.RELATED: Marco Rubio Pushed for Immigration Reform With Conservative Media
When the city dropped the moldy case, then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi released Lopez-Sanchez without notifying ICE. He said he was being true to a 2013 Sanctuary City ordinance that directed law enforcement not to cooperate with detainer requests except for individuals with a violent felony conviction in the last seven years. Weeks later, Lopez-Sanchez shot Steinle with a gun stolen from a federal agent. Claiming that the shooting was an accident, Lopez-Sanchez has pleaded not guilty.
City Hall refused to kill the 2013 Sanctuary City policy. If conservatives want something, the board of supervisors will block it. Citizen safety be damned.
The Republican Congress is not of like mind. The new chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee that oversees the Department of Justice, Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas, is poised to use Congress' power of the purse to withhold federal law enforcement funds from sanctuary cities. He told me, "There will be no more Kate Steinle murders, if I can help it."
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch is on board. Wednesday she told the subcommittee that the Bureau of Prisons will transfer released federal inmates who are undocumented and due for deportation directly to ICE -- not to sanctuary cities, unless the sanctuary agrees only to release the inmate to ICE. Culberson had nothing but praise for Lynch "for doing the right thing."

Once Again, Ted Cruz Campaign Caught Pushing Fake Smear of Marco Rubio
Mediaite.com:
According to an article pushed by the Ted Cruz campaign Sunday, Marco Rubio casually renounced his Christianity in a roomful of people yesterday.Funny that some people are actually suggesting that Rubio team up with Cruz to defeat Trump, totally ignoring that with the way Rubio's been accusing Cruz of lying on him time and time again, Marco probably doesn't want to be in the same room as Cruz again, much less saddling up to him.
In a video posted by the University of Pennsylvania student paper The Daily Pennsylvanian, Rubio runs into Ted’s father Rafael Cruz and a Cruz staffer while the campaigns were both staying in the same hotel. According to the video’s subtitles, they had the following conversation:
RUBIO: Got a good book there.
STAFFER: Yes, sir.
RUBIO: Not many answers in it. (points) Especially in that one.
After The Daily Pennsylvanian posted a trolly piece wondering what book it was, the Cruz campaign of course responded by telling them it was the Bible.Now if the video’s transcription is accurate, Rubio randomly went up a Cruz staffer, complimented the Bible (“Got a good book, there” was a statement, not a question), immediately denounced it seconds later in full view of a room of people and his young son, and then casually strolled off. That may strike some as plausible, but only those who are already inclined to believe Rubio is Satan incarnate.
The problem is, listening to the audio, Rubio doesn’t say “not many answers in it.” It sounds to me like he’s saying “all of the answers” are in it. Some say they hear him saying “a lot of answers in it,” but it definitely doesn’t sound like “not.”
According to Rubio spokesman Alex Conant, his boss said “all” of the answers. “How do I know? I’m in the video!!” he tweeted.

New Poll Shows Marco Rubio Within Three Points of Donald Trump in South Carolina
HotAir.com:
We’ve been hearing about “Marcomentum” all week, and the endorsement of Nikki Haley was expected to have boosted Marco Rubio’s fortunes in South Carolina. Donald Trump’s eruption at the generally well-liked George W. Bush was supposed to hurt him in the Palmetto State, too, but until today, there seemed to be very little evidence of either in polling. A new poll from the Fox affiliate in Atlanta (via John Ziegler) shows Marco Rubio within the margin of error for the lead, just three points behind Trump at 27/24, with Ted Cruz falling into third with 19%.I don't care what anybody says, if Trump loses or if it's close in South Carolina, it's mostly because of his lies about former President Bush.
Outlier?
A new poll conducted for FOX 5 in advance of Saturday’s GOP primary in South Carolina shows Senator Marco Rubio has jumped into second place to challenge front-runner Donald Trump.The OpinionSavvy poll conducted for FOX 5 shows Rubio with 24% of the South Carolina Republican voters surveyed, trailing only businessman Trump with 27%.In case you’re wondering, Opinion Savvy is the same firm that had Trump and Cruz ahead of Rubio one week ago today, 36/19/15 respectively. As Allahpundit noted last week, they also came close to getting it right in Iowa, picking up on Rubio’s late surge, even if they missed the magnitude of the vote for all three candidates.
This week’s endorsement of Rubio by South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley apparently helped push Rubio to the second spot, ahead of Texas Senator Ted Cruz with 19%.
