TRUMP IS 2016 GOP NOMINEE: KASICH & CRUZ CONCEDE (I TOLD YOU SO)

WHO IS LAUGHING NOW??

In August of 2015 (not May) I uploaded my first video in support of Donald J Trump's presidential candidacy.

A year ago the media and key democrats mocked Trump's bid for US President.

A year ago the media and key democrats also mocked me when I predicted Trump would be the 2016 GOP nominee.

Who is laughing now?

I told you so!

****** GOP wakes up to Trump victory -- and plenty of questions

A once unthinkable idea is now the Republican Party's new political reality: Donald Trump is its presumptive presidential nominee. 

Ted Cruz's sudden exit from the 2016 race Tuesday night following a devastating loss in Indiana all but brought to a halt the hard-fough battle for the GOP nomination, virtually ensuring Trump will garner the 1,237 delegates needed before the Republican convention this summer. 

Now, a party fractured by more than a year of campaigning, personal insults and threats of third-party runs has to figure out how to move forward.

From congressional leaders to top donors to veteran strategists, the GOP establishment has been deeply skeptical of Trump's candidacy and motives. As Trump began to amass delegates and gain momentum, his feud with his GOP rivals grew increasingly acrimonious and the "Never Trump" campaign -- a rare inter-party movement aimed at stopping its own front-runner -- failed. 

Here are five questions facing Republicans as they absorb Trump's victory:

Can #NeverTrump Republicans back Trump?

Moments after Trump was projected the winner in Indiana, the chairman of the Republican National Committee sent out a telling message. 

".@realDonaldTrump will be presumptive @GOP nominee, we all need to unite and focus on defeating @HillaryClinton," Reince Priebus tweeted, using the hashtage "#NeverClinton."

But bringing the party together will be easier said than done.

Even after Trump had solidified his position as the party's clear front-runner, prominent Republicans openly revolted against the billionaire, vowing to never endorse his candidacy. Top Republicans have said they will sit out of the Republican convention if Trump is the party's nominee, and some major GOP donors are expected to keep their wallets shut if Trump is at the top of the party's ticket.

Our Principles PAC, an anti-Trump super PAC, said Tuesday that its efforts will continue until a candidate has won the support of a majority of delegates in Cleveland. 

Tim Miller, a former spokesman for Jeb Bush's campaign who has been working on the "Never Trump" campaign, tweeted Tuesday night: "Never ever ever Trump. Simple as that."

One looming question is whether Cruz will ultimately endorse Trump. Just hours before bowing out of the race, the senator lashed out at Trump, calling him a "pathological liar" and "narcissist."

Trump on Tuesday had rare complimentary words about his rival Tuesday night, as he repeated in his victory speech that he was surprised to see Cruz drop out of the race. He also called on the party to come together.

"What Ted did is really a brave thing to do. And a great thing to do because we want to bring unity to the Republican Party," Trump said. "We have to bring unity. It's so much easier if we have it." 

Has Trump permanently damaged the party's relationship with minority voters?

From Day 1, Trump stirred up controversy with the Hispanic community. 

As he launched his White House bid last summer in the lobby of Manhattan's Trump Tower, the first-time political candidate vented about the importance of securing U.S. borders. To prove his point, he lamented the kinds of Mexican people who were entering the country. 

"They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists," Trump said -- explosive comments that he stood by in the weeks and months to come.

Those remarks were troubling for Republican leaders, whose party has urgently worked to broaden its base and court minority voters, including Hispanics, in recent years. The concerns only intensified as Trump showed surprising endurance in the 2016 race and started to train his fire on other ethnic groups, such as Muslim-Americans.

In a victory speech Tuesday night at the same midtown skyscraper, Trump said that he would work to win over minorities. 

"We're going to have unbelievable great relationships with the Hispanics. The Hispanics have been so incredible to me. They want jobs," Trump said. "The African-Americans want jobs."

But he will have to show how he can do this before GOP insiders believe it.

And what about women?

Another huge constituency that Republicans worry about with Trump at the top of the ticket: Women. 

Throughout the 2016 campaign, Trump has been repeatedly criticized for his controversial statements about women, including public figures like Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and former presidential candidate Carly Fiorina. 

There's no escaping the role gender will play in a general election between Trump and Hillary Clinton, who is vying to become the country's first female president. Trump has ratcheted up his attacks against Clinton by accusing her of playing the "woman card" for political expediency, saying last week that the former secretary of state would be polling terribly if she were not a woman.

Frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she would get 5% of the vote. And the beautiful thing is, women don't like her," Trump said. 

Trump could try to use members of his family to boost his credentials with female voters as he gears up for the general election. On the campaign trail, his wife, Melania, and daughter, Ivanka, have defended Trump's record with women.

exuded nothing but confidence on Tuesday night as he spoke about winning women voters. 

"I won with women," he said. "I love winning with women."

Chaos in Cleveland?

Trump likes to boast about the thousands of supporters who turn up at his campaign rallies. 

But his events also frequently attract other impassioned voters: protesters. 

With his penchant for inflammatory comments and tough rhetoric about immigrants, Trump has emerged one of the most polarizing presidential candidates in recent history.

What began earlier on in the campaign as protesters yelling at the GOP front-runner escalated in recent months to violent clashes between Trump supporters and detractors, as well as riots where protesters have collided with police. Last week, hundreds of protesters gathered outside a Trump speech in California, forcing the candidate and his entourage to exit their motorcade and walk to a back entrance to gain access to the event. 

Republican leaders fear that some of the recent violence and protests will play out at the Republican National Convention, to be held in Cleveland, in July. 

As a part of its efforts to prepare for the convention, Cleveland is looking to buy riot gear, according to one local report. 

Who will Trump choose as his VP?

Trump has one critical decision to make ahead of Cleveland: choosing his running mate. 

His campaign is likely to face pressure from party leaders to choose someone who can broaden the candidate's appeal -- perhaps a woman or a person of color -- as he gets ready to go up against Clinton. 

Senior Trump officials said Tuesday that an official search for a running mate has not yet begun. But the GOP-frontrunner has previously said he wants to pick a political insider as his partner, particularly someone who understands the ins and outs of Congress. 

"I do want somebody that's political, because I want to get lots of great legislation we all want passed," Trump saidin February.

DONALD TRUMP'S NEW YORK WIN PROVES HE CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE (95 DELEGATES)

DONALD TRUMP'S NEW YORK WIN PROVES HE CAN MAKE IT ANYWHERE:

TRUMP WINS 95 DELEGATES; CRUZ ZERO.

NEW YORKER VOTERS DID NOT FORGET HOW CRUZ PUBLICLY BASHED THEIR VALUES.

Sources: The Hill, CNN, New York Times, NY Daily News, Youtube

Tuesday, April 19, 2016 the state of NEW YORK displayed their love and support for native son Donald J Trump.

Trump won the NY GOP primary by a landslide.

Hillary Clinton also won the New York Democrat primary.

Considering how Ted Cruz publicly bashed NY values several months ago during one of the GOP debates, I'm not surprised Trump easily defeated Cruz.

However I hope the GOP Establishment leaders are listening because Trump's NY win speaks volumes.

In the words of Liza Minelli's signature song, 

"If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, it's up to you New York, New York".

Trump's NY win proves he can in fact make it anywhere and that he can defeat Hillary Clinton in a close, match up race.

***** Cruz Finishes Last In New York As "Values" Line Backfires

Ted Cruz is projected to come in third in New York’s GOP presidential primary, behind Donald Trump and John Kasich, Fox News and MSNBC are reporting.

Cruz, who may end up getting zero delegates from New York state, was not helped by his attacks on "New York values."

The New York values line — first delivered in January as a critique of Manhattan's liberal culture — played well among evangelicals in Iowa but came back to bite Cruz when he had to face Empire State voters. 

Cruz drew loud protests as he campaigned in the Bronx and tried to reframe the comment as an attack on New York Democrats. But returns from Tuesday show no evidence he made inroads with voters.

Trump is on track to win more than 50 percent of the New York vote statewide and could come close to winning all 95 delegates there.

TRUMP vs HILLARY: WOMEN VOTERS ARE NOT MONOLITHIC

MOST 21st CENTURY MILLENNIAL WOMEN

VOTERS DON'T TRUST HILLARY.

THAT'S WHY DEMOCRATS NEED BERNIE SANDERS.

~ Story Highlights:

Despite propaganda coming from the Gov't-controlled Mainstream media, Women voters in America are not Monolithic on Political issues regardless of their age, education, 

faith, nationality, race or where they live.

Women are Not Stupid!

No two Women voters possess the same views or same perspective on anything.

This includes issues such as Abortion, Same-sex marriage, LGBT rights vs Civil Rights, CRIME, Religious Freedom and Business (Trade).

In fact most 2016 Millennial Women voters don't trust Hillary due to her issues with Benghazi, her email situation and how she protected her husband Bill during the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal.

That's exactly why the Democrat party's key leaders need Bernie Sanders.

Many Millennial Women voters trust Bernie Sanders and are attracted to his Political Revolution platform.

Trump's bold monumental success in the Business world also makes him attractive to Women voters as a viable candidate.

Why?

Because Women have BRAINS not just Uteruses and we want to be Successful business owners and Job creators too!

However just as Obama did in 2012, the Mainstream media wants to once again divide Women voters based on Age, Education and Faith for the sole purpose of Politics.

For the 2016 election, with help from Women Journalists like Megyn Kelly and Michelle Fields, the Media wants everyone to believe that Hillary's Gender would make her a better president for Women than Donald Trump.

And while we are on the subject of Women........

Can someone please explain why Ted Cruz who is a Lawyer and a US Senator, has yet to file a Slander or Libel lawsuit against the National Enquirer for publishing a bombshell story about him being a huge Womanizer and Adulterer allegedly??

Does it matter to Women voters, GOP establishment leaders and the state of Wisconsin if Ted Cruz is a Womanizer and Adulterer, allegedly??

Does it matter to Women voters, GOP establishment leaders and the state of Wisconsin if Ted Cruz is an extremely Vindictive man who loves to DESTROY people who get in his way, allegedly??

I repeat.

Despite propaganda coming from the Gov't-controlled Mainstream media, Women voters in America are not Monolithic on Political issues regardless of their age, education,

**** Here's Why Young Women Aren't Voting for Hillary Clinton

The former secretary of state has a shot at becoming the first woman in the White House. 

But young women say that's not their priority — ​and are going for Bernie Sanders instead.

Sen. Bernie Sanders is a 74-year-old presidential candidate who's attracting a ton of support from people in their 20s, women included. He won the New Hampshire Democratic primary by a landslide, just a week after losing in Iowa to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by the narrowest of margins, thanks in large part to the twentysomethings who voted for him.  

In New Hampshire, CNN exit polls showed he won over 83 percent of voters between the ages of 18 and 29. Clinton only won with the over-65 set. Iowa was pretty similar — 84 percent of voters between the ages of 17 and 29 went for Sanders, according to CNN entrance polls, while Clinton only had the edge among voters 45 and older.

Those numbers may not be unique to Iowa and New Hampshire — and they're not just "Bernie bros." A USA Today/Rock the Vote poll released on Jan. 14 showed that Sanders held a 19-point lead over Clinton among Millennial women who identified as Democrats and independents. A poll conducted by Monmouth University on Jan. 19 showed that age, not gender, was a better predictor of who supports Clinton versus Sanders. 

Cosmopolitan.com talked to four college students who have been vocal supporters of Sanders on their campuses about the issues that really matter to them — and why they don't see the urgency in electing America's first woman president.  

What issues do people on your campus care about the most?

Elizabeth Lee, 21, junior at Middlebury College and head of College Students for Bernie: Student loans are probably nationally what I think get people the most excited. Environmental activism is big at Middlebury, and the idea of taking down Wall Street is appealing as well. That is the most appealing part of Bernie's campaign to me, is to take down the idea of having big institutions that control your life and limit your choices about what kind of career you want to pursue.

Isabel Youngs, 23, senior at the University of Nevada at Reno: One of the most important issues for college students right now is a federal minimum wage. It's a persistent problem for us college students. Even if [college] weren't free, raising minimum wage would change how college students live. I have a lot of friends who had to drop out of school because the extra five to six hours a week would make a difference at work. If it were $15 an hour, it wouldn't make a difference. I have friends who work in the food service and they go to work with the flu because they literally can't afford not to. I see the federal minimum wage as a big one.

What other issues matter to you personally?

Youngs: For me, one of the biggest things is health care. That might be more because I'm an LGBT student, and I've also seen my family grow up without health care. My friends and I, we often need more medical care than most of the community because of surgeries, hormone therapy, and especially mental therapy and counseling. I have friends who can't access any of that stuff. They're having horrible mental health crises, getting no help to get the health care they need.

Megan Taylor, 20, sophomore and head of University of South Carolina for Bernie: Student loans matter a lot to me because in the current economy, it's essential to have a degree. It's not really an option anymore if you want to have social and economic mobility. I don't think that we can require something of people in the job market and also ask them to pay for it no matter their circumstances. I'm also very passionate about social issues; I'm a bleeding-heart liberal. I'm interested in social welfare, food stamps, making health care accessible to people, reforming the prison system and the judicial system so that it's more equitable and produces the results. Let's think of people first and think of how to pay it later. As much as I respect moderate candidates and know that they are necessary for compromise, I'm also very liberal. My dad's Canadian and socialism is in my blood. I very much love the socialist parts of our government that do very well for us — roads, bridges, all those things that are created through the government.

What makes you support Bernie Sanders?

Lee: I support Bernie because I think that he takes very strong policy stances, which I really admire. He's unafraid to say what he thinks, and what he says is reasonable and very human-focused. He doesn't have strings attached to Wall Street and different interest groups. He speaks his mind and caters to what the actual majority wants and needs.

Emmy Ham, 22, senior at the University of New Hampshire: I think that the main thing we all have in common is we really want a change in our political system. We want to go against mainstream politics and Bernie represents that for us. When I heard about his platform, I really identified with that pretty quickly. I jumped on board. He exposed so many things about our political system that I have been frustrated with for a very long time. I think that's where it stems from.

Youngs: I don't want to see us getting involved globally as a global power. I want to see us disengage from that and fix our own stuff first. Globally there are a lot of problems, but at the same time, you know, no one president has made all the foreign policy decisions singlehandedly. They hire a Cabinet, they have people who are talking to them constantly about what the best form of action is, and I trust Bernie and his choice in the Cabinet that he picks to help him with those foreign policy issues.

Lee: Right now, for me at least, domestic policy is the most important. Making sure that income inequality doesn't spin out of control is something that's way more important to me than the quagmire in Syria, and things like that. I think that with Syria, there's no good choice for the U.S. Whatever we do is going to damage Syria and the people there to some degree. But there are clear meaningful steps that we can take in domestic policy that can really better people's lives.

Sanders is often criticized for being a single-issue candidate, focusing on the economy and campaign finance, but not other issues. How do you respond?

Taylor: I will never say that Bernie Sanders is not on message. But I think the reason Bernie Sanders seems like a single-issue candidate is because he is looking at that issue so holistically. He's looking at the economy in this broad sense that involves everything from education to health care to racial justice to criminal justice. He wants to fix the economy by fixing all of these other individual problems that are so connected.

Youngs: I'd never put the economy over any other things like social issues. I definitely do not think that Bernie Sanders is a single-issue candidate. If he does focus on the economy, he focuses on all aspects of the economy, including prison reform and making sure to get private prisons off the table and making sure that you legalize or decriminalize marijuana so you're not overcrowding prisons. It might have something to do with the economy, but it also has to do with social issues.

What do you like about Sanders personally?

Youngs: Bernie doesn't pander or patronize my vote. He doesn't think, How can I get young people to vote for me? He thinks, How do I make this world better for young people? It matters that he has a strong voting record that reflect those values. For me, Bernie is not for sale, which, I mean, that might be a kind of tried-and-true cliché of his campaign, but it means something to me. It means that he wouldn't turn around and abandon me and my cause and my people just for a political setup.

Taylor: I find Bernie very genuine, and I think one of the appeals of him is that he's very straightforward to the point of being sort of brusque at times, but very straightforward and genuine, and people appreciate that. The genuineness of Bernie, who he is as a person as well as a politician, really appeals to me as well as individual policy things that would really even the playing field for Americans.

What don't you like about Hillary Clinton?

Lee: I wouldn't say I dislike Hillary Clinton. I wouldn't necessarily be against the idea. She doesn't make me very excited about politics. I just don't really know where she stands on issues because she changes a lot, in terms of what the issues are. She doesn't really address them in her speeches. If you look at the debates, she drills other candidates on issues, but she doesn't really take a stance on what her position is. Which I think makes me a little bit skeptical and unable to support something that I don't really know what it is.

Youngs: I think Hillary's values have a price tag. In 2017, I don't think a corporate interest would be able to walk up to Bernie Sanders and say, "Here's $1 million, now's not the time for a social movement." She has the capacity to compromise if she gets [certain things she wants,] which is political sharpness, but that desperation scares me.

Taylor: I was very much ready for Hillary, but as you look into her individual policy decisions, her various campaigns in the past, I had grown, sort of as most people do, less enchanted with her and with the political system in general. When she says she's an outsider in the political process, not like the Democratic candidates, and not an establishment politician, it's silly. Hillary has spent so much time in the political system, she's always a politician first, and people can tell when she's not being genuine.

Ham: I think it's tricky. I get asked a lot why I don't support Hillary, and I don't think it's that I don't support her. I just truly identify with Bernie more, and I think he's more authentic, and he is really fighting for everybody and not just a select few.

Does anyone question your feminism because you're not voting for Clinton, who could be the first woman president?

Lee: I think it did make me hesitate a little bit, because I obviously want to see a woman in the White House as the president. But I think that we need to prioritize the issues before we can prioritize who this person is. In the future, there will be more women candidates running, and I can imagine a woman coming into the White House. It doesn't necessarily have to be Hillary Clinton; it can be someone else.

Youngs: I haven't been challenged that much in my feminism. Much of my feminist friends are strong Bernie supporters. I think there's an element of truth that we desperately need a woman in the White House. If it were Elizabeth Warren or Barbara Lee, versus Bernie Sanders, I wouldn't hesitate for Senator Warren or Congresswoman Lee. But I strongly believe that Bernie's values align more with mine and that I'm going to vote more in my interest more so than in symbolism. Eventually we'll find someone we feel comfortable representing us, but it's just not her.

Taylor: As much as I would like to see a woman president, and as happy as I would be with Hillary Clinton as president, I think Bernie Sanders's policies will do more for women, or at least the things that he's focusing on. Because women don't just need reproductive rights and a decrease in the pay gap, and they don't just need to see women represented in politics; they also need the same things that everybody else needs. That's really why I lean Bernie. Not that I fault any feminist who votes for Hillary.

Ham: I think that our generation is very progressive, male and female. When looking at the candidates, we want to see somebody who's not only looking out for women's rights but also for black people, disabled people, and people of all types of minorities. Bernie fights that system in one fell swoop by trying to improve our economic system, which is the primary oppressor of these people.

Do you think the symbolism of Clinton's gender matters?

Youngs: I actually only know of one woman who I consider politically competent who supports Hillary, and I think that comes from the belief that she's more of a symbol than that she agrees with her policies. I've seen [Clinton] support the Iraq War, Wall Street bailouts, the TPP, Keystone XL for a while, I've just seen all this stuff that I can't see her as a symbol anymore. I don't think she stands for me; I don't think she represents women. There are some things I will ignore for the symbolism of having a woman in office, but there's just too much.  

Taylor: I very much respect Hillary as a woman, and I think she's one of the great examples of powerful women in politics. As much as I would like to see a woman as president, I don't think it particularly solves problems because I obviously believe in the glass ceiling, but I don't think that the glass ceiling is broken once and everyone soars through and suddenly you have a female president every other election. In high-up offices like that, you have a female president and it cracks the glass ceiling, but there's still a lot more work to be done then; it's still not easy to get through.

Ham: I definitely identify as a feminist, and when I first started reading into the campaign and candidates, that was my one reluctance because I do want to see a female president. I think it's time for one in the United States, but I just don't think it's Hillary Clinton. For me, what's just as important is having the right female candidate, not just a female candidate. I just see Clinton as kind of another cog in the political machine. And I would like to see somebody who not only represents feminist rights, women's rights, but the rights of everybody. And I think that Bernie Sanders more broadly encompasses social justice for the majority of minorities and oppressed people in the United States.

What do you foresee happening in the general election? Regardless of whether he wins, what's the future for Bernie's "political revolution"?

Ham: I would say that Bernie is making fundamental change right now in how we elect candidates. In the beginning and even now, it's hard to see it happening, but there really is a movement going on. And once people start seeing his progress, and how many people are following him and joining his movement, then I think it's going to change, and it already has among youth. So of course the unknown is a little bit intimidating for some people. I'm interested in seeing that the United States is really ready for that change, and I really hope we are.

Youngs: I really think that both candidates are so much better than anything the Republican candidates have to offer. I really resent the Hillary vs. Bernie rhetoric. It's so much more nuanced than that and there's so much that goes into it, and I really want to see young people go out and vote in the House and Senate. 

A lot of people just check Bernie or Hillary, and walk out of the polls and they don't consider the cause and effect of not researching all candidates available. 

When Bernie Sanders talks about a political revolution, he means more than just him. 

He means everyone across the board.

****** Poll: Clinton, Trump Lead in N.Y. Primaries

Both Clinton and Sanders would beat any GOP candidate in the state in November, poll shows.

Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump have significant leads ahead of the primaries in their home state of New York next month, a poll released Thursday showed.

Mrs. Clinton, a former U.S. senator from New York, tops her Democratic rival, U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, 54% to 42% among likely Democratic primary voters, according to the Quinnipiac University poll.

Mr. Trump, a Manhattan real-estate developer, leads with 56% among likely GOP primary voters, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas with 20% and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio with 19%, the poll showed.

“The home-court advantage helps both party’s front-runners in the presidential primaries in New York,” said Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

New York’s primaries will be held April 19.

Among Democrats, women favored Mrs. Clinton over Mr. Sanders, while white primary voters were divided with 48% for Mrs. Clinton and 47% for Mr. Sanders. Mrs. Clinton continues to dominate Mr. Sanders with black voters, beating him 66% to 31% in the state.

In the GOP, Mr. Trump holds double-digit leads among both genders.

The poll found both Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders would beat any of the Republican candidates in the November general election.

Quinnipiac surveyed 693 likely Democratic primary voters and 457 likely GOP primary voters.

The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points on the Democratic side and plus or minus 4.6 percentage points on the Republican side.

Tuesday night, March 29, 2016 during a Townhall meeting in Wisconsin with local voters, US Senator Ted Cruz (who was born in Canada) stated he would rescind his pledge to support Donald Trump if he is elected to become the GOP Presidential nominee.

Cruz stated he would instead rather let Hillary Clinton win than to support his fellow Republican candidate Donald Trump.

Despite Ted Cruz's position Wisconsin Gov Scott Walker still chose to publicly endorse Ted Cruz for the 2016 race.

I never thought I would see members of the GOP establishment implode their own political party.

All I can say is WOW!

**** Roger Stone Drops Bombshell After Bombshell About Cruz Sex Scandal: If It's Not All True, "Sue Me Immediately"

Trump confidant Roger Stone spoke with Frank Morano on AM970 The Answer in New Jersey/New York on Sunday morning about allegations that he planted the story in this week's National Enquirer accusing Ted Cruz of multiple extra-marital affairs.

"He’s a lawyer himself," he said, "so why won’t he sue? It won’t cost him anything. To be absolutely clear — Cruz won’t sue because the allegations are largely true."

~ Basics:

-- "The Rubio campaign elected not to use this information, but they kept it as a hedge about some of the allegations about Rubio's personal life."

-- "Cruz holds himself out as a moral exemplar, and I think it is the hypocrisy that once again is problematic here. Where's his lawsuit? Where's his $100 million lawsuit against the National Enquirer..."

-- "This is very much like the John Edwards case, when the Washington Post, who is chasing this story, or the AP, who is chasing the story. The dirty little secret here is this isn't just the National Enquirer, this is major media organizations. Every major media organization in the country is pursuing this story. And they are well familiar with the names."

-- "And you have to wonder whether these women, one of whom worked for the Carly Fiorina campaign and then shortly thereafter Ted Cruz pays Carly half a million dollars. Ted despises Carly, and Carly despises Ted. What is the $500,000 for? Can you say hush money?"

-- "Maybe Donald Trump is talking about Heidi's mental breakdown, and the fact that she was found by the local police wandering and disoriented, and she was deemed to be a threat to herself."

-- "Heidi with her husband posing as a conservative Republican was a top aide to Condoleezza Rice at the National Security Council prior to going to the U.S. Trade Rep's office where she was a top aide for Robert Zelick, who took her to Goldman Sachs -- You remember who they are? The bank you and I bailed out.-- Goldman then subsequently gave a million dollar illegal sweetheart deal to the Cruz campaign, which he lied about."

FRANK MORANO: We have Roger Stone, noted New York Times bestselling author, longtime Republican political consultant and former advisor to Donald Trump, and the only person, who you heard Ted Cruz in the clip I just played you, the only person quoted on the record in this incredible National Enquirer article...

I don't know where to begin, clearly the Cruz campaign has blamed you for everything except for kidnapping the Lindbergh baby, why are? Everybody is acknowledging, even the NYT today, that this attempt to dig up these Cruz extramarital affairs was originally carried out by the Rubio campaign, why are they making you the guy everyone is deciding to blame?

ROGER STONE: I guess it is an attempt at deflection.

You've been in politics a long time, the only thing worse that being talked about is not being talked about. So I guess, I have a brand, perhaps a brand for rough and tumble politics, a brand for the dramatic, but in this particular case, the private detectives who are specifically cited in the article... were actually working for and paid by Marco Rubio.

I believe the Rubio campaign elected not to use this information, but they kept it as a hedge about some of the allegations about Rubio's personal life, and in the end they elected not to use it.

And before you knew it he was out of the race.

I think these private detectives got paid twice. They got paid once when they did the original work for Marco Rubio, and they got paid again when they on their own went ahead and sold it to the National Enquirer. They will admit that they pay for information they can confirm.

But in this case, I can tell you categorically, I did not plant the story in the National Enquirer, and then blaming Donald Trump or his campaign is somewhat outrageous. I never discussed this with Donald or anyone in his campaign.

All I did do, when a longtime reporter from the National Enquirer, who I used to know when she was at the New York Post, and before that at the UK Daily Mail, called and asked for a comment, and I was happy to give a comment on the record: "If this is proven, it would be highly problematic for Ted's image, since it is built around his moral superiority, and his appeal to evangelical Christians...

MORANO: Why should we care about who Ted Cruz sleeps with?

STONE: Neither you or I are running for president... And he is, and he holds himself out as a moral exemplar, and I think it is the hypocrisy that once again is problematic here.

Where's his lawsuit? Where's his $100 million lawsuit against the National Enquirer...

This is very much like the John Edwards case, when the Washington Post, who is chasing this story, or the AP, who is chasing the story. The dirty little secret here is this isn't just the National Enquirer, this is major media organizations. Every major media organization in the country is pursuing this story. And they are well familiar with the names.

And you have to wonder whether these women, one of whom worked for the Carly Fiorina campaign and then shortly thereafter Ted Cruz pays Carly half a million dollars. Ted despises Carly, and Carly despises Ted. What is the $500,000 for?

Can you say hush money?

He [Ted Cruz] specifically called me a henchman, henchmen get paid. I'm not paid anything by the Trump campaign, so therefore by definition I can't be a henchmen...

I think he's the one who has been copulating with rodents...

MORANO: Donald Trump did tweet "I'll spill the beans on your wife," do you understand where those people are coming from? Look, Roger Stone has a long history of this stuff, and this story comes out just a few days after Donald Trump tweets that pseudo threat against Heidi? I mean, some people might say that is too much of a coincidence?

STONE: The scandal doesn't have to do with Heidi.

Maybe Donald Trump is talking about Heidi's mental breakdown, and the fact that she was found by the local police wandering and disoriented, and she was deemed to be a threat to herself, maybe they're talking about they fact that Heidi with her husband posing as a conservative Republican was a top aide to Condoleezza Rice at the National Security Council prior to going to the U.S. Trade Rep's office where she was a top aide for Robert Zelick, who took her to Goldman Sachs -- You remember who they are? The bank you and I bailed out.-- Goldman then subsequently gave a million dollar illegal sweetheart deal to the Cruz campaign, which he lied about.

He said the infusion of cash to his campaign came from his wife cashing in his reitrement. That's a lie. All of that pretains to Heidi, none of this does, this pretains to Ted Cruz and his zipper.
