Quote

A CNN debate between a Donald Trump supporter and former Ted Cruz communications director Amanda Carpenter went off the rails Friday when the Trump supporter suddenly accused Carpenter of having an illicit affair with her former boss.

I knew Amanda a long time ago at my Town Hall days. She is a sweetie. To accuse her is beyond reproach. She also has a very close family and isn't the type to sleep around. Her family is also on the road with her during campaign events and media events, so it would be virtually impossible to have an affair like what is accused. The kids are even right off set during her TV appearances and are two little shadows to her at all times.

Trump's a scumbag. His supporters are scumbags.

There can be no reconciliation with this evil.

And yet his supporters don't understand why we're so mean to him, and even rage-quit in protest.

Figure that one out. Imagine your daughter/mother/wife was baselessly accused of such a disgusting smear out of nowhere?

And yet, you have the nerve to post that.

You didn't even have the common decency to correct jazzhead on his scurrilous insult, did you?

Exhibit B...

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Shouldn't everyone be denouncing this insane comment by a Trump supporter? All you could muster is some feign outrage over being insulted. Where the hell are you on this comment by Boston Herald columnist and Trump supporter Adriana Cohen.

Notice, one of the identified accusers is TRUMP'S SPOKESPERSON, Katrina Pierson. You know, the convicted shoplifter who once worked for Cruz?

Geez, what's next, Chelsea Clinton and Whoopi Goldbert accusing Cruz of having sex with them, too?

Can it get more bizarre than Trump campaign pushing a tabloid story that its opponent slept with Trump press spox, who denies the story?

Pearson floated a non-denial of this before too and today came out with a non-denial (along the lines of 'not me but I can't speak for the other women).

Ben Shapiro was floated this story a few months ago when he was still at Breitbart and called it trash. He hinted it may be Pearson who dropped it to him.

That's actually a media strategy, as long as you have a willing participant. Float the story, then issue a denial for your part in it but leave it open to speculate about others. Plausible deniability. It actually makes them appear the victim of a story they started while keeping it alive against the opponent.

It's Trump supporters who are calling CNN to troll this despicable trash. What word would you prefer me to use in place of "scumbag"?

(You may not have noticed, DC, but I sided with Trump yesterday and called the PAC ad with the nude photo of his wife despicable. I call 'em as I see them. And I stand by what I wrote. The behavior described in this thread is scumbag behavior. )

The dots are leading back to Pierson as the source of this story, with herself in it, of course.

Who doubts this was planted by the Trump campaign and that NONE of it is true.

Trump has bragged in his books about all his affairs. So, why not focus on that which they know is true?

Alinsky tactic from Rules for Radicals. Take your opponent strength and make it a weakness, take your own weakness and project it on your opponent.

It started with Cruz's reputation as being the honest politician- after the Alinsky tactic, he became 'lyin Ted'. Distracting from the fact Trump has a reputation as a less than honest car salesman type.

Cruz had the reputation for being the faithful family man- after the Alinsky tactic, he is now the cheater. Distracting from the fact Trump goes through wives and girlfriends as fast as Hugh Hefner.

Next, I predict, will be Cruz's strong Conservative reputation. They'll probably paint him as a NWO, One-Worlder. I'll give it a week.

ABX · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2016, 08:30:07 pm »

Uh oh... National Enquirer said the story did come from someone in Trump's staff. Various reporters are calling him out on it now.

@realDonaldTrump Nat'l Enquirer staff says you give them the info on your opponents to smear them. Are you saying NE staff lied?

That's why this last ditch gambit by Trump will blow up in his face. No one believes Cruz would do this, but everyone knows Trump is a degenerate scumbag. Everyone is going to look at this mess and know Trump is making absurd allegations again.

truth_seeker · « **Reply #23 on:** March 25, 2016, 08:37:30 pm »

Time will tell if all, most, some or none of this is true.

Investigative reporters usually have multiple sources, do fact checks, etc.

That way when the denials start, they give more details, etc. Names, dates, places, receipts, corroborations, etc.

Don't hold your breath for it to be resolved over this weekend.
