Sen. Ted Cruz claims that Roger Stone, The Daily Caller Men’s Fashion editor, “decides” what Matt Drudge posts on his website Drudge Report.
In an interview with Mike Slater on “The Mike Slater Show” Monday, Cruz said, “If people want to get on the “Trump train,” they can. I actually think we need real and meaningful solutions to the problems in this country, and as president my focus is going to be on three things: jobs, freedom and security.”
Slater asked Cruz what he thought of the Drudge Report and the Texas senator replied, “Look, Drudge Report over the years has done a good job highlighting the excesses of the left and the excesses of liberalism, and about the past month the Drudge Report has basically become the attack site for the Donald Trump campaign.”
“And so every day they have the latest Trump attack. They’re directed at me. It — by all appearances, Roger Stone now decides what’s on Drudge, and most days they have a six-month-old article that is some attack on me, and it’s — whatever the Trump campaign is pushing that day will be the banner headline on Drudge.”
“By the way, they no longer cover news. Remember they used to have things like election results? They don’t put those on Drudge anymore. When we win a state, suddenly the state doesn’t matter. You know Colorado — there was no red siren on Drudge when we won all 34 delegates in Colorado. That wasn’t news, because — I mean listen, that’s fine,” Cruz said.
Later Cruz said, “My number one priority is bringing jobs back to America, raising wages for everyone, making it easier for people struggling to achieve the American Dream. That’s my focus. And I’m going to let others worry about the silly political game and the circus.”
LISTEN (begins at 15:16):
Cruz is, to borrow Margaret Thatcher’s term, a conviction politician. He isn’t in politics to make a deal. He is in politics to make a difference.
Why would it be incrediable since Cruz’s entire years growing up and throughout his educational years was geared toward serving his country.
Besides, it’s very well known by all accounts that Cruz, Cruz is one of the most gifted living litigators.... If Cruz had wanted a successful career outside of politics, he would have had his pick of top firms and corporations beating a path to his door.....So if he had wanted to make billions and be a deal maker like Trump, the road was open before him...Instead Cruz opted out of a lucrative career in the private sector because he believed that it was more important for him to serve his country.
Frankly I wish there were far more like him who knew from their formative years serving their country was their goal.
Who cares if she is dead. She has got to be the top pick for VP for trump supporters.
Why don’t you think about it all night long.
Those in Berkeley CA applaud that level retort. You should send it to the laugh line.
These questions asked the candidates are beyond the pale!
They did it to Trump about Abortion and it was highly unfair.
Same here with Cruz... these are trick questions that can then be used as ammunition...
I’m getting so tired of this election not being about the ISSUES... sigh.
But she was just there for the over billing part.
Stick to pics like you posted depicting millions of Americans as Nazis and Trump as Mussolini. Or was it Stalin pics ya posted?
Why?
Only Cruz had dealings with Palfrey.
I think Wednesday is the day.
Those are a dime a dozen across the internet....
We know what the issues are.
Were losing in ever direction and have been sliding into decline for decades, all thanks to the lawyers turned politicians in the District of Deceit.
Yes, Pied Piper Pitt at DU said that Wednesday is the day that Bush is definitely indicted. They now have the evidence.
Yes, and you used those pics in such an honorable legitimate manner.
Looking sharp caww
... or was it sundance the biggest nut on the “conservative” treehouse. Anyway, who cares.

BS. Cruz wants to go on a nerd speaking tour.
Are there a lot of Trump supporters in Berkeley?
Matt Drudge is following all the rules Teddy.
LOL. You’re not catching on are you? Maybe over time.
Oh that’s right, it’s extreme to want America great again, to want secured borders, restrict dangerous chain immigration, and reforming country killing trade laws which have all but left Middle America dead on the floor.
Got it.
