Donald Trump makes wild threat to 'spill the beans' on Ted Cruz's wife

Source: CNN

The real estate mogul tweeted that the Texas senator should "be careful" or he would "spill the beans on your wife" Heidi Cruz.

"Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!," he tweeted Tuesday evening, just minutes before polls closed in Arizona. Trump tweeted and deleted a similar version of the Tweet about 10 minutes earlier.

Trump appears to be referring to a Facebook advertisement targeted to Mormons that shows Trump's wife, Melania, posing nude. That ad was produced by an anti-Trump super PAC, Make America Awesome, which has no known connection to the Cruz campaign.

Heidi Cruz is a senior executive for Goldman Sachs, and took a leave from in order to help her husband's campaign. She has become one of the campaign's most accomplished fundraisers.

The Republican sexist showdown. Republican Anti-Trump ads feature nude pics of Trump's wife. Trump then threatens to "spill the beans" on Cruz's wife (extra GOP base points for racist innuendo), then Cruz calls out Trump for being a coward. I am glad that we have two candidates who are not essentially threatening to take it outside or competing with respect to who is more pro-torture.

I sure hope Trump wins the bozo right-wing race, so we can see another photo of Romney pumping his own gas the day after.
Romney is the epitome of everything that is wrong with our economy.

about Melania posing nude. The poster was pointing out the disgusting hypocrisy of the right who did trash Michelle for wearing a sleeveless dress but will support a first lady who has posed nude.

I think it would be cool to have a sex-positive first family. And I think Donald should pose nude too! Let it all hang out man.


Just not this one.

You just know Trump was doing Coke and having poly orgies in the 70s right? Eventually we are going to see a picture of his famous dick.

Be funny if he was into cuckolding.

During last night's rollicking VP debate, Congressman Paul Ryan replied to a question about abortion and faith by recalling the story of how his daughter Liza got the nickname "Bean" (which was apparently supposed to show how "reason and science" factor into his views on abortion).

"You know, I think about ten and a half years ago, my wife Janna and I went to Mercy hospital in Janesville where I was born for our seven week ultrasound for our first born child," Ryan told moderator Martha Raddatz. "And we saw that heart beat. Our little baby was in the shape of a bean, and to this day we have nick named our first born, Liza, bean."


Followed by a series of bean memes

His best known line, "You're fired", is bullying in the extreme to keep other workers in line.

It is the most visible aspect of the corporate oligarchy's efforts to (successfully) suppress wages, reduce benefits, hold down vacation time, and push workers to high levels of stress.

Need to stand up to bullies. I dislike Cruz intensely but I hope he stands up to TheRump and forces his bluff.

how large is up for a guess.

I just hope we've evolved as a nation and this isn't used as a cudgel. Kitty did a lot to try to de-stigmatize it.

While Ted Cruz is detestable, Heidi Cruz's health isn't fair game imo.

Romney, Palin, Bush, and Cheney are all strong candidates for diagnosis with one of the Cluster B personality disorders in the DSM-IV.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_B_personality_disorders

Trump has narcissistic personality disorder written all over him, which makes him a George W. Bush with a different delivery. Maybe not as stupid but definitely just as unwilling to learn or inform himself.

Only the delivery has changed, not the crazies who deliver it.
