Roger Stone loves resilience. It's why the former body builder had Richard Nixon's face tattooed on his broad back. "It's there to remind me that in life, when things don't go your way, you get back in the game," Stone said in an interview with CNN. "Nixon said, 'A man is not finished when he's defeated, he's only finished when he quits.'" When it comes to Donald Trump's 2016 presidential bid, things did not initially go Stone's way. He had one vision for the campaign; Trump had another. But after leaving in August, Stone is back, in a manner of...

A DePaul student was unexpectedly caught in the middle of a short-lived political scandal. Her picture was used to help spread a rumor about a presidential candidate that wasn't true. Samantha Rivera said her phone was ringing so much it woke her up Wednesday morning. There were also texts and emails asking her if she had an affair with a presidential candidate. The journalism major at DePaul says nothing she learned in public relations classes prepared her for this. Rivera's profile picture is at the center of an alleged sex scandal involving Republican Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz. Rivera said someone...

While he travelled the state running for Senate last year, Ted Cruz found time to make $1 million representing deeply immoral clients of his former law firm. As the Dallas Morning News explains in their (pay-walled) investigate report, among his final clients were “a businessman who pleaded guilty to bribery, a drug manufacturer that fired an employee who refused to break the law, and a company that illegally copied another’s tire design.” Cruz lost all of those cases. The businessman was Robert Mericle, who bribed two judges to give minors harsher sentences in the infamous “kids for cash” system. Why?...

Neil Bush, the son of President George H. W. Bush, who defrauded U.S. taxpayers out of $1.5 billion dollars in the savings and loan scam, and later peddled influence for the Chinese government, (who plied him with Chinese prostitutes) has formally endorsed Senator Ted Cruz for president. You can’t make this stuff up. This endorsement says much. Since the other, more politically involved Bush men have a distinct dislike for Mr. Cruz, I suppose Neil Bush is better than no Bush. Let’s look at the wonderful memories that Neil Bush has left us with. First there is is that little...

Maybe it’s a good thing Carl Paladino skipped the Gay Pride Parade — his aide went, and got a real earful! Roger Stone, a key adviser to the Republican gubernatorial candidate — who called the parade “disgusting” — not only went to the march, but joined in the festivities, doffing his shirt and getting his ear licked by a bosomy, nearly naked babe. -snip- Stone showed no such hang-ups when he marched shirtless in the parade on behalf of his other advisee in the governor’s race — self-described “Manhattan Madam” Kristin Davis, whose protest platform includes legalization of gay marriage,...

Sound/Video Recording of Donald Trump saying he heard that Rubio is getting out of the race.

You know those "Stump for Trump Girls, Lynette "Diamond" Hardaway and Rochelle "Silk" Richardson? Well, in case you don’t follow them on Twitter and didn't get the memo, they were on CNN this morning. As usual, the sisters caused quite a stir with the few minutes they were given. They were invited on to talk about last night's debate, which was a pretty explosive affair. While there, they told Carol Costello that they were fairly sure that Donald Trump's rival Marco Rubio was gay, at least in his past, if not now. Diamond said, "When I look at Marco Rubio,...

Breaking— CRUZ CAMPAIGN STAFFER SAYS CAMPAIGN IS DONE — A Ted Cruz campaign staffer today told CNN the campaign is done. “His Campaign is done.” “The Cruz campaign has to focus on getting basic campaign techniques right,” said a Republican operative who works for the presidential campaign, who asked not to be identified. “I don’t think Cruz can win the nomination at this point. I think his campaign is done.” Cruz took a huge blow on Saturday after he could not win a single county in South Carolina, a state with an enormous evangelical vote.
