Ted Cruz dodges question about whether he's 'always been faithful' to his wife as endorser Carly Fiorina leaps in to insist a declaration that he's not an adulterer is a 'dance to Donald trump's tune'
Texas senator could put National Enquirer scandal to rest with a simple statement that he has never strayed in his 14-year marriage
Instead he has batted down the supermarket tabloid's speculative story about five alleged affairs in a more limited fashion
Carly Fiorina leaped in to intercept DailyMail.com's request for a blanket statement of marital fidelity and Cruz ultimately punted on the question
Fiorina pleaded for a return to discussing issues, but lobbed her own accusation at 'serial adulterer' Donald Trump
Cruz also challenged Trump to a one-on-one debate in Wisconsin on Tuesday night: 'Why don't you show up and debate like a man?'
Ted Cruz declined to answer a question on Monday about whether he has ever been unfaithful to his wife Heidi.
'Senator Cruz,' DailyMail.com asked him, 'can you please swat down more definitively this National Enquirer piece by telling us on the record that you've never been unfaithful to your wife?'
The National Enquirer published a story last Wednesday that speculated about five women with whom the Republican presidential candidate was rumored to have had extramarital affairs.
Cruz has batted down the specifics of the story on numerous occasions since it appeared in supermarket checkout lanes.
But instead of making a blanket declaration that he has been faithful during the entirety of his 14-year marriage – a move that would effectively end the vicious news cycle – Cruz stood silently as campaign surrogate Carly Fiorina leapt in to intercept the question and change the subject.

I don’t know ... but for some reason the Cruzs’ come off to me like the Klinton’s ...they are all about political expediency ...just a hunch
Sounds like lots of folks are wondering and afraid what the answer will be
All politicians cheat, just like all rock stars. It is just the way it is.
What a puss. Why don't you get out of the campaign and go do something productive like start a business. You have produced nothing in your entire life and you have zero humility - still milking your childhood winning formula of being a memorizer bunny masterdebabor. I've gone from not sure about this guy 6 months ago when I first saw him speak a sentence to pure disgust. Get out of my country you smarmy little rodent.
“...DailyMail.com directed the question a second time at Cruz when Fiorina had finished.
‘Senator I’m sorry, this is a very serious question about your character,’ the second question came.
‘Will you just – if the answer is, “Yes, I’ve always been faithful to my wife,” can you just say so please?’
His practised answer stuck to the more limited denial that the National Enquirer story was false, calling it ‘complete garbage.’
‘It is total lies, it was planted by Donald Trump’s henchmen, and I don’t think the people of Wisconsin or the people of America have any interest in tabloid trash.’...”
‘Why do you all dance to Donald Trump’s tune?’ she demanded to know of about 15 reporters in the room. ‘Let’s talk about the issues, please!’

Also if you have committed a sin, what is the proper way of redeeming yourself? First you need to admit to it, 2nd you try to make right with your first wife.
I think he has done both
Once iSnarly is bought, she stays bought.
Canadian Cruz Liner Liar just outed himself as an adulterer!
First step of the slow confession.
He’s definitely full of crap. Using the same exact words as before.
“Ted Cruz declined to answer a question on Monday about whether he has ever been unfaithful to his wife Heidi.”
Very telling.
Well, I hate to break this to ya, but it happens and HAS happened many times in our history.
I just care about the hypocrisy. A person can make a mistake and come clean about it - I’ll respect him, then. But if he keeps running away from responsibility, I wonder about his ability to give a rat’s a$$ about me, and my little issues.

It might be time for Cruz to pack the bags.
He and his supporters always seem holier than thou. It seems like those are the ones we should keep an eye on. They also judge others instead of letting God do that.

I think the reason why this happens so much is because females are attracted to powerful men and want to be part of it
Yeah , it doesn’t pass the smell test ..they are using it as a tool against Trump ...
cruz is nuancing. He did not ‘cheat’ because she KNEW he was a cheater.
