Holy Chuck Upchuck....Bill Kristol l just

A Ted Cruz-affiliated Super PAC, Keep the Promise I, donated $500,000 to rival Carly Fiorina’s presidential campaign in July 2015. The Washington Post noted that the donation was “unusual” at the time, but Twitter and the National Enquirer claim to have a key piece of context: Cruz was having an affair with Fiorina staffer Sarah Isgur Flores.

Sarah Isgur Flores, .....worked for the Fiorina campaign during the 2016 election. As goes the theory, when Fiorina found out about the affair, Cruz silenced her with a half-million-dollar donation.

So he keeps getting to go on the teevee and spout his garbage while other observers of the political scene who are actually right most of the time are banished forever to dirty fucking hippie-land for being right about the wrong things or being right at the wrong time.

ANYTHING to win/get ahead. He said do not believe the crap about her rising from secretary to CEO....she ONLY took a secretarial job very briefly when she switched her major from law (her daddy wanted) to biz - to make ends meet.
