Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Yep. Which makes absolutely zero sense. A donation like that is almost unheard of.

It's not going to be on any news sites or networks.
Yeah I chose CNN because of its ubiquity; something that doesn't hit the major networks does jack shit as far as influencing the race.
All Trump has to do is tweet something about it and the networks will start mentioning it.
Holy shit this is AMAZING!
also if Lyin' Ted is also cheatin' Ted then Dark Horse Kasich is their last and best hope. I'm scurred. Bernie gtfo please Hillary will have a hard enough time with Kasich
Kasich won't be the guy I'd bet on that.

They picked up the Edwards affair story eventually. It will probably take somebody like Breitbart to confirm it, which could happen.

Side note: after this Ted Cruz wife retweet thing. Trump seems to have a problem with not-beautiful women. I have to hope Hilary's strategy is to goad him into calling her ugly before it's over. It'll be gg when that happens.
Did anyone else catch his campaign chair on cnn trying to justify the whole thing? It was gross

I don't believe anything Brietbart reports without someone else cosigning it.

Amanda Carpenter? Well well. As much of a jerk she is I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
No one gave a shit before Gary hart. FDR and JFK (at the very least) fucked around a heap.
Damn, that's good.

The has been zero coverage of the Cruz sex stuff on the morning shows that I've seen
Yep. Doubtful it'll gain any traction. With the John Edwards story they had a picture of him and his mistress to go along with it.
Edit: Actually the pic was with his affair baby
Hard to say whether they would have held up regardless of the later scandals, though. Can't imagine FDR getting away with most of the stuff he pulled in today's media environment (we'd have known the true extent of his health, at least.) Likewise there would be way more scummy internet tabloids willing to jump on JFK's affairs as opposed to everyone saying "not our business" and looking the other way.
Once we hit cable news the chances you could get away with that sort of thing turned to basically nil.
Man, PoliGAF is all ready to go into full climate change denial level conspiracy mode when it comes to a GOP scandal I see. Everyone does remember this is the National Enquirer, right?
don't get me wrong, the schadenfreude would be amazing. But let's keep some perspective here.
It's also the same guy that broke the Edwards thing. I'm not totally buying it, but this isn't exactly wolfman marries batboy either.
Still the enquirer, and I suspect if we looked at all of that person's articles rather that the one we know was right, the batting average isn't particularly high.

No doubt, but seeing how Cruz plays this will be interesting to say the least.
You follow the Edwards playbook. Behind the scenes exert pressure on other media not to pick it up, and you completely and utterly ignore it publicly. You give it zero oxygen no matter what.
People forget that the Enquirier broke the Edwards scandal months and months before the baby photo appeared, and it basically sank without a trace first time around (thanks to the above).
Do you really think Trump will let that happen?

David Brooks has given up. I've never seen him more defeated. He basically said Republicans need to stop fetishizing Reaganomics when their new party rises from the ashes.
Also I enjoy the people saying to Tweet Trump about the Cruz article, as if Trump didn't plant it himself.

To be fair Ted Cruz does look like he was 3D printed.
But he can't retweet it if a

There's 944 delegates still available, and Trump only needs 498. That seems eminently doable for him. I'd say him not getting a majority is the pipe dream at this point.

Especially if Cruz gets destroyed. ^_^
So basically delay it a few months to just before the convention. Brilliant plan!

So, I'm thinking.
Media can't report on the alleged affairs too much if it's all just smoke. They'll probably be mostly hands off, I think, because without proof, they would risk damaging their reputation. Can't go hard on that.
However...the 500k donation to Fiorina is real, is unusual, and is theorized to be connected. Talking about that would be a great way to talk about the alleged affairs without actually talking about them.

Lol. Again, just having fun with it, but man. If this turns out to effect things, I might seriously be able to believe that Trump was the one that posted the Melania pic in the first place.
