Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas) said on Sunday that the media is sitting on explosive negative information about front-runner Donald Trump with plans to run it later in the year to tear the candidate apart. "I think an awful lot of reporters — I can't tell you how many media outlets I hear, you know, have this great exposé on Donald, on different aspects of his business dealings or his past, but they said, 'You know what? We're going to hold it to June or July,'" Cruz said on CBS's "Face The Nation" Sunday. "We're not going to run it now." Cruz said the media has given the front-runner "hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertising." Every press conference Trump has is shown on every television station, he said, noting the media helped create this "phenomenon." "And all of the attacks on Donald that the media is not talking about now, you'd better believe come September, October, November — if he were the nominee — every day on the nightly news would be taking Donald apart," he said. Cruz called out the media, saying one of the reasons they want Trump to be the eventual nominee is because they know he can't beat Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton. "Hillary would wallop him," Cruz said. "Donald may be the only person on the face of the planet that Hillary Clinton can beat." Cruz addressed the fact that people haven't brought up the issue of Trump's tax returns recently, questioning why it wasn't mentioned during the recent Republican debate. "As Mitt Romney rightly observed, the fact that Donald won't hand over his tax returns suggests there's a bombshell in there," Cruz said. He also called out journalists for not talking more about what Trump may have told The New York Times editorial board in an off-the-record portion of an interview. The Times recently refused to release an audio recording from an off-the-record meeting with Trump in which some speculated the front-runner talked about immigration. When the general election comes, Cruz said Trump will be the "singular focus of the media." "And I think Republicans, we've been burned by that before," Cruz said. "We're not interested in losing again, particularly when the stakes, I think, are catastrophic."

Cruz will fight for Hillary over Trump right through election day. It's what his donors want him to do.
Why won't the Times release this off-the-recoed audio? Oh. Wait. It was off- the-record. Never mind.
I don't think is doing himself any favors with stunts like this. It can't possibly influence anyone, one way or the other, except to remind people how often Cruz intentionally misleads people. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
The trick is to let fly with a bunch of distorted BS a day or two before primaries when there is little chance of refutation. Trump is falling for it because he is poorly advised. If he strikes now on the basis of issues, he can crush all opposition.
Trump should have known better than to trust them. Nothing is ever really off- the-record.
This ain't exactly news. The media in this country is headquarted in the northeast,in the same areas where Trump has lived his entire life as a attention whore celebrity,so there's not much about him they don't know. They just never wrote about the dark spots because he was one of them,and supported the Dims. It seemed apparent to anyone paying any attention that when they didn't destroy his campaign within the first 30 days that their plan was to wait until late in the season and then go after him. I have no idea what it is they have on him,other than "everything". He hasn't exactly lived his life in seclusion,has he? ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
If pubs would fight the dims like this before and after being elected then maybe something good would come from electing pubs! We do so much damage to each other that all the dims have to do is "sick" their dogs ie MSM and easily take out any true conservative in the race.
Exactly. The NYT isn't exactly a paragon of virtue,but any news organization that starts releasing off the record interviews doesn't get any more off the record interviews. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
No,he is falling for it because he is a narcissistic ego-maniac,and thinks he is smart enough and loved enough he can refute it and people will believe him. Remember his bragging in front of a microphone about all the affairs he has had with married women? Remember him saying he is so popular he could commit murder in front of tv cameras and still be elected? The man is not sane. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

Not exactly. So if there's an indictment, judgement or conviction in Trumps past, I expect I would have read about it by now. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Yeah. Amazing, isn't it? The only times the gloves come off is when they're fighting each other. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Never mind. of course Trump could give the permission to release. Cruz is right. If Trump is the nominee in the general election ,you know and I know that the video or it's audio or transcript will be "leaked " by someone at the Slimes. It will confirm that Trump told then that he will pivot and walk back his tough immigration positions . He already did it 3 times (flip flop flip ) during and after the Fox Debate about H-1B visa's . Before the debate his position was that he would restrict them. Then during the debate he said he was changing his mind about them because we needed smart workers . Then after the debate ;when he started getting feedback from his supporters and advisors ,he walked that comment back on his Tweets . 3 postions on the visas in less than a 24 hour period ! If he can't stay consistant on his core campaign position then how can you trust him about any other position ? "If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato
Had he wanted it released, he could have done so back then. "I know that the video or it's audio or transcript will be "leaked " by someone at the Slimes." Fine. Then wait for it.
If they release it they better hope Trump doesn't get elected. Their White House press credentials will be no more.
Exactly. The NYT isn't exactly a paragon of virtue,but any news organization that starts releasing off the record interviews doesn't get any more off the record interviews. What is the purpose of off the record interviews? Supposedly these are interviews for the purposes of revealing aspects of the candidate's beliefs, goals, plans, stance of issues, etc. not a presentation of classified government information. One should mistrust any candidate that has such off- the-record meetings with the media. What do they have to say in an off the record meeting that they do not what voters to hear? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Had he wanted it released, he could have done so back then. Which tells you he doesn't want voters to know what he said to the NYT about his beliefs, policies, plans, goals, stance on issues, etc. That's a con man at work. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Can't tell you. It's off the record.
Can't tell you. It's off the record. 'Zactly. That surely will make America great again, with lots of hope and change. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
How do you what was off the record?
It doesn't matter to us regular folks, the NWO is spending every penny they have against him and it's just not working. We're tied of these political aholes telling us what to do and how to vote. The two parties have melted into one and it's going to be the same old shit each year. Trump will represent us not the NWO and it's stooges. It pretty damn funny with all the people whining here about the NWO taking over everything. They're now trying to derail the one man who won't take orders from them. (I've noticed the infamous KOCH brothers will not donate big money until the primary is over.)
How do you what was off the record? Because at least one party "leaked" some of the subjects discussed off the record, i.e. - illegal immigration. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
How do you what was off the record? The important thing to realize is that half the people on this forum believe they can draw upon unique psychic powers to substantiate a point.
He's not a Republican or a Dim. He's not even a conservative or a statist. He is a "Trumpist". He will say and do anything he needs to say and do in order to benefit Trump. He is a salesman,nothing more,and the product he sells is himself. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION! Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012) American Indians had open borders. Look at how well that worked out for them.
Usually to leak damaging info about a political rival. ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION!

There was an interview that was apparently audiotaped. The conversation was allegedly off the record at the suggestion of both parties. TRUMP: I don’t know exactly what — when you talk about off the record. First of all, Buzzfeed? They were the ones that said under no circumstances will I run for president. And were they wrong. But a lot of people said that. Then, I did have a meeting with the editorial board of the New York Times, a very nice meeting. Many of those things were off the record, I think at their suggestion and my suggestion. And I think being off the record is a very important thing. I think it’s a very, very powerful thing. And I will say this. These three gentlemen have gone off the record many times with reporters. And I think they want to honor it, and I would always honor that. Perhaps Fox News would like to provide a transcript of the alleged off the record collusion between News Corp (Rupert Murdoch/Roger Ailes) and Marco Rubio in support of illegal alien amnesty. Nah, perhaps not.

Did they really think Trump was going to blurt out, "Hey! That was supposed to be off the record!"
A good plan is to go fishing for a week and then return rested and reevaluate the defunct Rubio campaign.

How do you [know] what was off the record?
Back in January, you gave an off-the-record interview to the New York Times. It was apparently audiotaped. Now, a recent report in Buzzfeed citing sources at the Times reports that in that interview you expressed flexibility when it comes to your immigration policy, specifically with respect to your promise to deport the 11 million people who are now living here illegally. You have suggested that you may have expressed some flexibility when it comes to the size of the wall that you want to build. But did you tell them, specifically, that you are flexible when it comes to your deportation plan?
