1. Why didn't you do oppo research? #GOPidiots

[meadowlark5]

2. Up until July, no one actually thought Trump would get the nomination

And not up until the last couple of months has it become glaringly apparent to the masses that this reality tv narcissist is totally unfit to be president.

I don't think it was an orchestrated plan like it sounds like Cruz is implying. I think it's just desperation making people do whatever they can to stop this man from being elected president.

[Cakes488]

3. Why Crappy Cruz...is it because it would of benefited you then?? STFU NOW

[bmstee01]

4. Even if they had...

Trump still would have won primary. His supporters are fanatics

[JoePhilly]

5. Poor Ted.

[grossproffit]

6. Ted, that's why they call it an October surprise. *checks calendar* Yep, it's October

Surprise!

[cyberswede]

12. You post made me lol

Thank you.

[fun n serious]

19. Lol!

That was funny.

[msanthrope]

7. Next time you rail on about the "Liberal Media" Ted, remember this. nt

[JohnnyLib2]

8. It's all a vast conspiracy to embarrass you, Ted.

[LisaL]

9. Would it have made a difference in a republican primary?

This isn't the first offensive thing Trump has said, in case Cruz didn't notice.

[Grown2Hate]

13. Hell, if this came out in the Republican primary it might have SOLIDIFIED Trump's victory.

The primary voters don't care about this; his hardcore supporters still don't. Whiny-ass Cruz...

[Stallion]

10. Sounds Like Republican Media's Candidate Vetting Sucks

sounds like if Fox, the Blaze or Breitbart were doing their job these stories were easily discoverable

[LisaL]

11. But all this information was out.

Maybe not this particular tape, but it was obvious how he treated women. Didn't seem to matter.

[book_worm]

14. This would not have hurt Trump at all in the GOP primaries

seeing the reaction from his supporters.

[Tanuki]

15. Maybe Ted should have spent more time doing some

really basic oppo research instead of filibustering "Green Eggs and Ham." Fool.

[tanyev]

17. Effing fool didn't even grasp the message of Green Eggs and Ham.

[eissa]

16. Because when your opponent is hanging

himself, you don't take away the rope. Republicans knew this crap was out there, that's why so many were sounding the alarms. But the base is too far gone; they've found their id and nothing will move them. The patients have taken over the asylum.

[Iggo]

18. Because run-of-the-mill republican mouth-breathers don't give a fuck about sexual assault, Ted. (n/t

[tinrobot]

20. Because he was good for ratings

The rest of the GOP candidates were kind of dull. He drove ratings to a very high level.

Once he got the nomination, they held back because "horse race", which kept the ratings going.

Now that the horse race is mostly over and they've sold all of their airtime, they finally might do what is best for the country.

[LisaL]

21. They build him up now they are tearing him down.

[Gabi Hayes]

29. you are correct, sir! it's ALL about the ratings, which means it's all about the

the benjamins

that's the ONLY reason they did this. they made god knows how many (hundreds of?) millions of extra money by prolonging this horrorshow

bottom line, it's the

bottom line

very simple

[randome]

22. But Ted, you endorsed him, remember?

[hr][font color="blue"][center]Precision and concision. That's the game.[/center][/font][hr]

[JI7]

23. It's not like it would have made a difference in the republican primary

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. You know, Ted, he disrespected your own wife.

Remember that one, Ted?

[JHB]

25. Hey, Ted, did you ask?

Can you show some documentation where you requested this and they refused?

Republican incompetence in vetting their candidates is not the fault of the Democratic Party nor the "liberal media". How long did you treat Donald with kid gloves because you wanted to pick up his voters when he inevitably flamed out. Well, he's flaming out now, so it's your own damn fault that it's inconveniently late.

Whoops, I must amend what I said above: it wasn't incompetence in vetting the candidate: he's the candidate because of this. Just speaking his mind, not being "politically correct."

[C_U_L8R]

26. Cruz is just pissed he didn't think of it

In fact none of the Republican primary candidates were very effective.
Lazy or just stupid?

[Thinkingabout]

27. Ted Cruz was not suited for the job either. He wanted everyone to vote their conscience

And have the reason of disparaging remarks made by Trump about Cruz's wife and father. First mention of the party not backing Cruz for his re-election he endorsed Trump.

[muriel_volestrangler]

28. To answer Cruz's question: there's a $5m penalty in Burnett contracts for leaking

Chris Nee
?@chrisdocnee

I don't have the tapes. I've signed a Burnett contract & know leak fee is 5 mill. Hearing from producers/crew N word is the "much worse".

And I expect Trump would have tried to get even more in court, and would have used it as evidence of media bias against him, which might have helped him. The tapes have to come out anonymously.
