Never Say the GOP Primary hit Bottom
It can always get lower. More, it always will lower. It's basically a natural law that the GOP primary will always get lower.

For some reason:
1. Ruth Marcus has put herself forward as some sort of authority regarding when a sexual scandal is 'fair game' in a political campaign and when it's not.
2. In her supreme expertise on sex scandals and the political weight to give them, she says that it's fair game for Donald Trump to bring up Bill Clinton's 90s affairs and for Hillary to be held accountable for infidelities for which she was a victim because she called Trump a sexist.
3. Evidently, Ms. Marcus believes that there is a rule that says if you as a woman call a man a sexist but your husband has cheated on you, you are a hypocrite.

4. On the other hand. for some reason, Ted Cruz's alleged sexual affairs are off limits. Trump doesn't have the right to bring them up-if he did, after all it was the National Enquirer who put these stories out-after Ted Cruz's super PAC put out a picture of Trump's wife in a GQ spread.
That is not fair game because it wasn't Ted Cruz who did that just a super PAC that was trying to help him win. Because candidates never have anything to do with their super PACs. They abide by a Chinese wall. And if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you.
So much for Rush Marcus. Meanwhile just when you think it can't get worse, it does. It turns out that some of Cruz's alleged infidelity partners are very well known.
"It hasn’t taken much detective work to determine the identities of two of the five women whose slightly obscured photographs appear in the National Enquirer as supposed Ted Cruz mistresses. One of them is Donald Trump spokeswoman Katrina Pierson (who isdenying any involvement), and the other is Carly Fiorina deputy campaign manager Sarah Isgur Flores (source). If the claims are false, these women can – and probably should – file lawsuits against the Enquirer. However if the claims are true, it paints Cruz as a man with so little sense of boundary that he seduced the very last women in the world he should have been eying."
"On the other hand, if someone like Donald Trump did fabricate and plant this entire Enquirer story, as Cruz is claiming, it would be politically convenient to falsely tie Cruz to these women in particular. It would also be incredibly cutthroat of Trump to make up a fake accusation about his own spokeswoman having an affair with his rival. Who would put their own employee through such tribulation? Though, considering Trump’s track record toward women, it wouldn’t be shocking. But the Fiorina campaign angle adds another, more bizarre twist."
"Last summer, this publication and others reported that the financially strapped Carly Fiorina campaign was being kept afloatby a half million dollar gift from a Super PAC which was supposed to be helping Ted Cruz. It was a strange enough development that even the Federal Election Commission was prompted to ask for clarification. At the time it was thought that Cruz and the republican party might have been keeping Fiorina in the race so they would have a female candidate who could bash democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. It was also speculated that Cruz might have been planning to pick Fiorina as his running mate if he won the nomination."
"Fiorina’s campaign fell apart as she dropped to zero in the polls, ending any such scenarios. But now, at the least, the incident begs for reexamination. If the Cruz sex scandal story is true, did the half million dollars have something to do with the affair? And if the sex scandal story is false, is whoever made it up trying to falsely tie Cruz and Flores together due to the fact that the half million dollars gives plausibility to the idea that something was going on?"
"In other words, there appear to be only two possibilities here. One is that Ted Cruz is the victim of a brilliantly evil fake scandal which falsely paints him as a man who is so out of control he can’t help but get involved with the top female employees of his direct political rivals. The other is that Ted Cruz is in fact a man who is so out of control he can’t help but get involved with the top female employees of his direct political rivals. And now the fate of the republican race hangs on which of those two completely opposite scenarios is in fact the truth."

Not to add any more gist to the mill-I would never do that as Ruth Marcus says this is off limits-but it's further interesting that Carly Fiorina has actually endorsed Ted Cruz and been out campaigning for him.
"Sex scandals tend to unfold rather quickly, as evidenced by the fact that we already know the identities of two of the five women supposedly involved (again, they’re both victims here if the scandal is proven to be a fake one). So I expect the truth to be fully revealed long before the republican convention. If the story is true, Cruz is finished. If the story is false and it’s determined that Trump planted it, Trump may be finished. If the story is false and Trump didn’t plant it, the prognosis is unclear. Regardless of whether anyone including me thinks elections should hinge on something like this, it now appears the republican nomination largely does."

Actually, the idea that the story is false and Trump didn't plant it is possible. The etymology of this story seems to have originated with the Marco Rubio campaign's opposition research on Ted Cruz.

It's not implausible that Trump planted this story with the NE-this is a story that even Breitbart thought beneath its standards.
Trump is buddies with the NE owner and it has endorsed him. But if Trump planted the story it's probably only second hand as it originated with the Rubio campaign.
