A lover’s sister-in-law speaks out.
This week the National Enquirer (which first reported the affair of failed Democrat party member John Edwards) broke a story that alleges Ted Cruz had multiple affairs with various women, while his wife Heidi Cruz was battling depression. The Cruz campaign has yet to respond to the allegations, but a short phone call with the sister in-law of one of the women, after I found her online through use of the White Pages, appears to confirm the allegations.
The woman, whose brother is married to the alleged paramour — who appears on CNN as contributor, said, “It’s true. They were together only a few times.” She added her sister-in-law, “was transfixed by Ted. He has a way of selling ice to an Eskimo.” I asked when the affairs occurred. “Right before Ted’s campaign for Senate,” she said. “They’d get together when Cruz visited DC.” She added, “The whole family knows, everybody knows about this.”
Cruz’s lover is married and has children.

The affairs stand in stark contrast with the Christian moralizing persona Cruz has constructed on the trail. And numerous media personalities and rumors have been circulating for weeks on Twitter about Cruz’s love making. But the hot Cuban blood runs deep apparently. Cruz’s father, Raphael, abandoned the family for reasons that are still unknown.
In the past few months Cruz has attacked his main competitor, Donald Trump, for holding New York values. It appears, however, that Cruz is the one with values problem.

1. He's a bloody creepy bugger.

In many ways a lot worse than Trump.

[big_dog]

2. the alleged hookers are going public on the blogs too...

16. Jane Doe needs to use her real name.

It would give way more credibility. I don't doubt he would be cheating. Just saying, if she doesn't actually step forward it can be dismissed to easily.

[Bad Dog]

35. Even better,

but as LiberalArkie has just pointed out, he's a right slippery bugger who might just get away with it.

[LiberalArkie]

15. I don't think it will effect him. Remember Jimmy Swaggart "I have sinned"

and Jim Baker, I can't bring myself to think of all the "evangelicals" caught in things like that, and all it did was boost them "because they asked God for forgiveness".


But one can only hope.

[Bad Dog]

34. No I didn't.

We don't have famous TV evangelists over here, but thanks for the information, if not the mental image.

[CanonRay]

39. Lucky you, would you like a few of ours?

[Zira]

22. Neither of those two appear appealing to me. Ewww.

I can't believe their wives are with them. And, I won't be surprised if both are having affairs.

[Bad Dog]

32. I suppose there's an outside chance their wives love them,

but I think the motive for staying is financial.

40. Heidi Cruz makes a lot more than Ted....

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I guess there's no accounting for taste.

But, eww.

[VMA131Marine]

4. BOOM! Bye-bye Cruz!

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer creep!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

5. Confirmation of the Ted Screws story, eh?

[Major Hogwash]

33. ^

6. Medium.com?

Medium is an online publishing platform founded by Twitter co-founder Evan Williams in August 2012.[2] The platform has evolved into a hybrid of non-professional contributions and professional, paid contributions, an example of social journalism.[3] Some of its publications include the online music magazine Cuepoint, edited by Jonathan Shecter, and the technology publication Backchannel, edited by Steven Levy.

Anyone familiar with this site? Are they reliable?

[BlueMTexpat]

7. I find him repellent in every way

and cannot imagine why ANY self-respecting woman - even Heidi, who has problems of her own, IMO - would ever want to have anything to do with him.

[lostnfound]

17. I agree. Both him and Trump...

I commented yesterday that I would literally rather lose my right arm. They are both creepier than even George W.

[BlueMTexpat]

37. I absolutely concur!

9. Calling scumbag Gov. Kasich! Your express elevator to the top is waiting for you! /nt

[mnhtnbb]

10. How do these guys think this kind of stuff won't come out?

Do they really believe that someone won't dig up this kind of dirt on them?

[dchill]

14. I think it's a character flaw in 99% of politicians.

They believe they're smart enough to get away with whatever.

Whatever.

11. Perfect Republican Nightmare

Nobody wants Teddy (boy King Joffrey), except that he's not Trump. Trump could be embroiled with a dozen hookers and a band of farm animals and in the end, nobody would give two shits. But a moralizing, hypocrite, pseudo-god-picked-me-Christian is permanently damaged goods. Get ready for the "I was a weak man, and I failed my god, my wife, and my country" speech with a shell-shocked wife standing by his side. What a gorgeous clusterfuck of a party!!!!

[Solly Mack]

12. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

[Turbineguy]

13. How Karl Marx-like of him!

[Kip Humphrey]

18. Ted Cruz resurrects the biblical tradition of consorting with concubines.

[jalan48]

19. She probably required that the room be dark.

[Helen Borg]

20. Jeebus... Imagine how intimacy with that creep must feel...

[ToxMarz]

36. All I can think of is the greasy pillow cases

Can you imagine him with bed head

[Jim__]

21. If Cruz is toast, the republican problem is worse than ever.

It would have been hard to justify taking the nomination away from Trump and giving it to Cruz, but, really, no other republican is competing with Trump in any way. If Cruz is out, Trump has to be the republican nominee.

[NCjack]

27. This has to be why Kasich is playing the "just staying alive" game. /nt

[oioioi]

23. busTED

[NCjack]

24. Recall that Ted Cruz is a lawyer. His response to the Inquirer was:

“I want to be crystal clear: these attacks are garbage.” Just lawyer talk, as the article was in fact garbage, that happens to be true. You have to analyze lawyers' words very carefully, as they are highly skilled in lying and misrepresenting. Guess Mr. Trump was right again. Ted is "Lyin' Ted".

[vkkv]

44. But Cruz went on to say "These smears are completely false, they're offensive to..."

[Fairgo]

25. Turn to the Book of Cruz...

And Jesus spoke to Cruz and asked,
Art not thou divine? And thy willy, as it is of thy body, is it not also divine?
If thy member is divine does it not stand above the sacrament of marriage?
Are your carnal desires not also divine? Does your perversion not become righteous?

Cruz heard these words in his head and he knew that it was good.
He sojourned then into the brothels of gomorrah
Therein he spread the gospel of Ted and the contents of his purse
And of these ministries he did not speak with his wife

[red dog 1]

26. Too bad this story isn't about Trump the Chump..

..instead of Cruz, who is the only other GOP candidate who could possibly defeat Trump if he doesn't have the 1,327 delegates necessary by the time the GOP convention convenes in Cleveland this summer.

K&R...Thanks for posting!

[sulphurdunn]

28. Schadenfreude

[greymouse]

29. I find myself deeply uninterested in people's personal sexual lives.

Plus, Trump is on his third wife and had sex with other women during marriages 1 and 2, so where does he get off criticizing someone else.

[SunSeeker]

43. It's because of the rank hypocrisy of Cruz, and his creepy, bigoted bible thumping.

He courted evangelicals with his promise to "protect traditional marriage," from "the gay agenda." So is it Ellen Degeneres' fault Cruz schtupped these women while married to Heidi?

[mainer]

30. That's gonna be an uncomfortable Thanksgiving family dinner

Imagine outing your own sister-in-law.

[pallidin710]

31. Them eggs are hatching.

[Kotze]

38. ThrusTED.. into her

[AxionExcel]

41. Shocking, just shocking

[First Speaker]

42. I despise Cruz, but I hope the rumors aren't true...

...mainly for the sake of Heidi Cruz. She's been thru the Trump meatgrinder, and who can't feel sympathy for that? Being publicly humiliated in such a brutal, callous manner by a POS like Donald Trump, then have to go thru this...I really hope it isn't true. There are more important things in the world than a temporary political advantage a sex scandal gives "our" side...
