Defend Heidi Cruz

by MONA CHAREN March 26, 2016

Is Trump the political genius that some have been hinting? Who else, without staff or experience, could rocket to the top of the polls and remain in that perch month after month despite everything? Maybe it’s genius, or maybe its shamelessness. The latter can be mistaken for the former. This week’s new slog in the mud demonstrates one of Trump’s techniques to perfection — he flings filth at an opponent and then invites the docile press to conclude that “both sides” are engaged in unseemly brawling. (This is usually John Kasich’s moment to shake his head sadly and remind voters that, golly gee, he would never do such things.)

The “wife spat” began, as these things always do, with a Trump shiv. An independent PAC, Make America Awesome, published practically nude pictures — fully available in the public domain — of Melania Trump from a GQ photo shoot from the early 2000s, and invited viewers to consider whether someone who posed for such pictures would make an appropriate first lady. Trump then grabbed this small ad as excuse to hurl accusations at one of his opponents (wonder why he didn’t accuse Kasich?), tweeting that he believed Cruz to be responsible for the ad and threatening to “spill the beans” about Heidi Cruz if Cruz weren’t “careful.”

Cruz had nothing to do the the Make America Awesome ad. But before getting to the rest of the imbroglio, and at the risk of seeming utterly Victorian in this sorry time, it seems to me that Melania’s history as a nude model is not completely out of bounds as an election issue for voters. In an era when Paris Hilton becomes a household name for being featured in a sex tape,..... (READ ON)

We must now ask the question that was directed at Sen. McCarthy:

“Sir, don’t you have any decency left in you”?

"Heidi normally looks much better than this."

Like that?

Cruz rode Trump’s coattails.

Without Trump in the race, Jethro Bush would have been the undisputed nominee long before Super Tuesday.

Mona’s just another GOPe idiot. Small ad? The Melania ad went viral quickly. Hope she gets to eat lots of crow with this breaking Cruz story.

If Ted was cheating on her, does that make Heidi a Cuckservative?

Mona is, of course, describing the MSM. I have nt noticed Trump throwing anything preemptively. He does, however, play defense better than others play offense. Note, especially that he did not post nudies of Heidi, only suggested to ted that he behave himself or else..., a capital crime.

Actually some would suggest Melania looks better in the GQ photoshoot, and others may say prefer Paris Hilton.

Is it true that Viagra just gave a $1 million contribution to a merger of the ¿Jeb? super-PAC and the Cruz super PAC?

It’s called “Ready to Rise...” :-P

Who defended Melania. I have read several here excuse anything Cruz did if it was in past years. So was the photo taken years ago. But with Cruzbots it is ok for him but not her.

Somebody gets it. Cruz would never have been the nominee. The GOP voters are just not that into him.

The author does not discuss Huma and Hillary --
who are again given a "pass", but let that go.

Worth repeating! All those that are anti trump need to ask themselves would they have rather had Jeb? Because without trump Jeb already has the nomination and Cruz was out by the first super tuesday
