By God, you folks give ZERO credibility to CNN’s news reporting! This came from CNN, not from Ted Cruz. n point of fact, I would not be surprised if CNN did indeed have this story straight from within the Rubio campaign as a planted story for them to later deny, causing embarrassment to everyone who believed them.

In other words, all the earmarks of a Rubio-engineered hoax.

LOL!!

Another smear on Cruz.

So repeating/forwarding news reports is now dirty politics?

Emails that appeared to have come from the Cruz campaign were sent to his supporters in Hawaii promoting a CNN report saying some of Mr. Rubio’s advisers see no path for him to win the Republican presidential nomination, and suggesting that he might leave the race before the March 15 primary in Florida. A spokesman for Mr. Rubio said that report is false.

Some Rubio advisers say get out before Florida

Publicly, the campaign is maintaining they are still a contender in this race, touting a Sunday win in Puerto Rico's primary that delivered Rubio 23 delegates. But privately, the campaign is having a debate about whether he should remain in the mix -- even for his home state of Florida's primary.

"He doesn't want to get killed in his home state," one source familiar with the discussions said, noting "a poor showing would be a risk and hurt his political future."

If Cruz is Elmer Gantry, you must be Homer Simpson.

Of course you are aware that should he win the nomination Trump has also stated he will then voluntarily become deeply dependent on donor puppeteers. Moreover, surely you’re aware that Trump pays himself a sizeable salary for campaigning, which I assume is a tax write-off funding by the American taxpayer.

Surely you know this.

Just posted the article. Go ahead and stick your head in the sand, to your detriment. Cruz is establishment through and through - if you choose to not believe it, then you truly are unteachable.

Why did he lie about the “press hiding dirt” on DJT? That is a lie. All he has to do is tell us “the dirt”. Why not? The press doesn’t hide anything but hillary’s criminal conduct. If the “press” had anything on Trump it would be BANNER HEADLINES. But instead Cruz starts the rumor like he did with Dr, Carson and Now Rubio. IMO Cruz is looking more and more sleezy.

I can see it now... (future Cruz administration)

The drone strike we made on the building full of women and children and American citizens was supposed to be an enemy hideout according to a CNN report we received. We are going to prosecute CNN for the deaths of these people because they issued a story with false information. It’s all their fault. /s

Maybe they can save money and close the CIA and rely on CNN to do that job.
