I suspect this came out a little too early. If I were the GOPe I would have hoped this came out just prior to a convention after Cruz has forced a 2nd ballot. Then the GOPe could claim both candidates are too much of a mess to govern.

I think the problem now is that this story, which looks to have legs and perhaps 10 legs, ends the chance for a brokered, barring some other massive scandal that takes out Trump or somehow allows them to kick him out of the party..

It all hinges on whether the allegations are true, and they appear to be sticking at least in part. Only 20% is required.

As a Trump supporter, and since it seems like everyone in the know knew about this, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump asked Pecker to publish earlier rather than later. The inclusion of Pierson could be voluntary on her part to add extra chapters to the story.

This has to be a really bad to be someone who trusted Ted. I have no sympathy for the name calling fools, but for those who simply quietly made the choice that they could trust him, this is very likely to be an extremely harsh lesson in the nature of mankind, and how to read instincts.

And, I could be totally wrong, but the instincts I had about Cruz - and many had the same thing - were utterly without evidence when I first felt them, and yet the evidence has poured in left and right to confirm all of them.

We make fun of democrats, and rightfully so, for only listening to their feelings. But instincts are not the same as feelings. You arrive at policy via thinking, but you arrive at choice and action by instinct. Which is just another reason why, even if Cruz were not compromised in character ... he would fail as a president ... he's a man of the mind only, not a man of the physical world - he's unbalanced this way. Instinct is not his thing. Nor, it appears, is it with his supporters. Or not. We'll see.

Cruz has denied these allegations. I'm a Cruz supporter and I still trust him, my support is even stronger now that his character has been tainted so unfairly by people who are bearing false witness against him.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

Nonsense...the very fact that Roger Stone was the only one who went on the record in this story is enough to discredit the whole thing. He is the “bad cop” for Trump who is willing to sully his own reputation and take the bullet for Trump if it can provide some temporary advantage to Trump’s campaign. He’s been spreading all kinds of lies about Cruz all over the airwaves for months.
