One America News, Washington Post, and Prntly have all discovered that Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have been in deep talks about Cruz being Donald Trump’s running mate . Cruz spared his rhetorical firepower against Trump, and Trump has not criticized the Texan senator at all.
Trump even hinted at selecting Ted Cruz to serve him as VP in his quest to Make America Great Again.
Voters are excited to hear this turn of events, as people have grown delighted.
EDIT: for the readers who say this is false, simply read the numerous news articles that state this, from Washington Times and One America News
From Washington Post:
The remark piqued the interest of tea party and conservative activists who had already theorized that recent moves by the two campaigns signaled a secret pact.
“It’s highly likely that there is a sweetheart deal there, and it is a very good thing with almost no downside,” said Tom O’Halloran, host of the Texas-based conservative webcast Patriot Radio Show, who subscribes to the theory of a secret Trump-Cruz ticket.
“It’s a brilliant move,” he said. “It sounds to me like a deal that was made in heaven.”
Mr. O’Halloran and other believers pointed to a purported secret meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. Cruz in Dallas at the end of the summer and the absence of attacks waged by the combative Mr. Trump against Mr. Cruz, the only major candidate to be spared Mr. Trump’s blisteringly personal attacks.
Mr. Cruz has mostly refrained from attacking any of his rivals in the crowded GOP field.
However, Mr. Cruz last month said that he was confident that he could beat Mr. Trump in the primary race.
“I don’t believe Donald is going to be the nominee, and I think, in time, the lion’s share of his supporters end up with us,” Mr. Cruz said in an interview on WABC Radio.
“If you look to the records of all the Republican candidates, there’s a big difference between my record and that of everyone else if you ask who has stood up to Washington,” he said. “I think his involvement has been tremendously helpful to my campaign, because it’s framed the central question of this primary.”
The detente between the two camps will be put to the test now that Mr. Cruz is surging in Iowa and within striking distance of Mr. Trump.

Donald Trump on 2016 Race: 'It's War'
HILTON HEAD, S.C. — For Donald Trump, the 2016 election is a war - one he's not planning on losing.
Trump called rival candidates like Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush his "enemies" in the war for the White House on Wednesday. "We view this as a war," he told a packed house here. "Don't we view this as war? Right? It's war."
His latest battle is a war of words with Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton after she accused the real estate mogul of sexism. Trump has responded in recent days by rehashing former President Bill Clinton's infidelities and alleged sexual misconduct, as well as repeating his claim that "nobody respects women more than Donald Trump."
Trump, who has always had a nothing-off-limits approach to campaigning, called Bill Clinton one of the "greatest abusers in the world," cited "tremendous abuse of women," and elicited laughter from the crowd when he mentioned Hillary Clinton's "husband's situation."

Trump, who has always had a nothing-off-limits approach to campaigning, called Bill Clinton one of the "greatest abusers in the world," cited "tremendous abuse of women," and elicited laughter from the crowd when he mentioned Hillary Clinton's "husband's situation."
Turning his focus on the actual candidate, Trump admitted that he'd "love, love, love having a woman president" but that it "can't be [Clinton], she's horrible" and "gives me a headache." He added that "women don't like Hillary," however NBC News/Wall Street Journal polling data shows Trump losing women 33 to 57 percent against Hillary Clinton. He does, however, win among men, 48 to 43 percent.
The Clinton's weren't the only candidates to draw Trump's ire. The GOP frontrunner punched back at one of his favorite and most consistent targets, Jeb Bush. Calling Bush out for low poll numbers, Trump wondered aloud if he didn't have anything better to do with his time. "He should go home and relax," Trump said. "He shouldn't be wasting his time."
But despite Bush's falling poll numbers and the acknowledgement by Trump that he should no longer focus his time or attacks on the former Florida governor, Trump can't seem to let his feud with Bush go. "I shouldn't even talk about him, he's down to two or three" Trump said, "but it bothers me when I see a guy spending $60 million on ads, against me a lot of it, right?"
And while Trump has in the past stated that our international community, specifically the Middle East, was better off with dictators like Saddam Hussein and Qaddafi in power, he went further Wednesday telling the South Carolina crowd that Hussein's methods, such as use of sarin gas, allowed for stabilization in the region. Remembering the constant back and forth between Iraq and Iran, Trump said: "They fight, that's what they do. They fight…and they were equal, militarily. They go this way, 10 feet, they go this way, 10 feet…then Saddam Hussein throws a little gas, everyone goes crazy oh he's using gas. They go back, forth, it's the same. And they were stabilized. And I said if you go after one or the other in this case Iraq you're going to destabilize the Middle East, that's what's going to happen."
As has become typical of Trump's rallies, he spent some time reading polls that show him ahead - admitting that if they turn negative he won't highlight or talk about them in the same way. For now, though, he's ahead but not taking any chances. Previewing increased spending and ads, Trump admitted that he's doing all he can to shore up the nomination as states prepare to vote.
And if Trump doesn't come out on top, he will have failed and wasted his time in the process. With a serious tone he declared to the crowd: "If I don't win, I will consider this - and I mean this - a total and complete waste of time."

Bill Cosby charged with 2004 sex assault, free on $1M bail
www.nydailynews.com
Bill Cosby was charged Wednesday with sexually assaulting a Temple University employee at his suburban Philadelphia mansion in 2004.
Montgomery County Prosecutor Kevin Steele announced the aggravated indecent assault case against the creepy comedian at a spellbinding press conference that dealt the most devastating blow yet to Cosby's once-wholesome image as America's Dad.
“The evidence is strong,” Steele said. "We made this determination because it was the right thing to do."
The new case marks the first criminal prosecution of the fallen funnyman and sets the stage for what could be a blockbuster trial involving other accusers with similar stories.

Cosby, 78, faces up to a decade behind bars if convicted. He walked into the courtroom for his arraignment using a cane and wore a gray hoodie sweater.
He replied yes several times to Magistrate Judge Elizabeth McHugh in Montgomery County as she set his bail at $1 million and ordered him to hand over his passport.
He did not enter a plea and is due back in court Jan. 14.
“Make no mistake, we intend to mount a vigorous defense against this unjustified charge and we expect that Mr. Cosby will be exonerated,” Cosby’s attorneys said in a statement.
Authorities said in an affidavit that Cosby made two separate and unwanted sexual advances on victim Andrea Constand in the months leading up to the January 2004 assault.
Constand, who worked with Temple’s women’s basketball team, stepped forward a decade ago and said Cosby doped and groped her, but prosecutors at the time declined to file charges citing a lack of evidence.
Bill Cosby arrives in court to be arraigned in Elkins Park, Pa. on Wednesday.
The affidavit made public Wednesday said Constand returned to his home on the day of the assault thinking they were going to discuss her career. Instead, Cosby offered her three blue pills to “take the edge off” and urged her to drink wine, according to the paperwork.
"These will make you feel good. The blue things will take the edge off,” Cosby said, according to documents.
Constand asked if the pills were herbal.
“Yes,” Cosby allegedly replied, according to the affidavit. “Down them. Put ‘em down. Put them in your mouth.”
“Just taste the wine,” he urged her afterwards, according to documents.
She later claimed to have experienced blurred vision and difficulty speaking and was unable to consent when Cosby had sex with her, the affidavit states.
Constand passed out and eventually woke up around 4 a.m. the next day with her bra undone, according to the affidavit.
Cosby, dressed in a robe, gave her a muffin, walked to the front door, opened it and said, “Alright,” the paperwork states.

Constand told investigators she left the residence without saying anything.
After the alleged assault, Constand fled to Canada to be near family and eventually told her mom what happened. The mom confronted Cosby over the telephone.
Cosby admitted the encounter during their conversation, said he gave Constand some type of "prescription" medication and invited the women on an all-expenses-paid trip to Florida, the affidavit states.
Cosby later gave an interview to Cheltenham Township police in January 2005 and claimed the sexual encounter was consensual, according to the affidavit.
He admitting giving Constand one and a half over-the-counter Benadryl pills and claimed she willingly engaged in petting and kissing and "never pushed him away," the affidavit states.
“When directly asked if he ever had sexual intercourse with the victim, Cosby gave (police) the unusual answer, ‘never asleep or awake,’” the affidavit claims.
KING:
Constand sued Cosby in 2005 and settled out of court in 2006.
Over 50 women have accused Bill Cosby of drugging and assaulting them.
Constand, who has accused Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting her, walks in a park in Toronto, Canada, on Wednesday, the same day a Pennsylvania prosecutor announced sexual assault charges against the comedian stemming from their alleged 2004 encounter at his Philadelphia mansion.
Bill Cosby is accused of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand (r.) in 2004. He was arraigned in a Montgomery County, Pa. court Wednesday and released on $1 million bail.
In deposition testimony related to the civil lawsuit, Cosby said under oath that he gave Constand three halved pills that he described as "three friends to make (her) relax," according to the affidavit.
He also acknowledged under oath that he obtained seven prescriptions in his own name for Quaaludes.
Montgomery County Prosecutor Kevin Steele announced the charges against Cosby.
"When you go the Quaaludes, was it in your mind that you were going to use these Quaaludes for young women that you wanted to have sex with?" Constand's lawyer asked Cosby on Sept. 29, 2005, according to the deposition excerpted in the affidavit.
"Yes," Cosby replied.
Constand has said she will cooperate with prosecutors in the new case, Steele said.
"He urged her to take pills he provided and drink wine," Steele said during the press conference. "Unable to move or respond to his advances, he committed aggravated indecent assault.
"Frozen, paralyzed, unable to move. A person in that state is unable to consent," Steele added.
Her attorneysreleased a statementthanking Montgomery County authorities for "the consideration and courtesy they have shown Andrea during this difficult time."
Cosby has said the sex was consensual.
Authorities had until next month to file charges against Cosby under the state's 12-year statute of limitations for felony sexual assault.
A judge unsealed depositions in Constand's suit filed in Philadelphia federal court earlier this year, prompting prosecutors to reopen her case.
"We examined evidence from the civil case and information from other alleged victims," Steele said.
“Reopening this case was not a question. Rather, reopening this was our duty.”
He said Cosby's prior testimony about obtaining and distributing Quaaludes, which Cosby called "disco biscuits" during his deposition in the Constand case, played a significant role in the charging decision.
Over 50 women have accused Cosby of assaulting them. They have shared similar stories in which Cosby targeted them after gaining their trust and using his trusted public persona to his advantage.
Cosby has denied the accusations and said the women are out to get money.
His career irreparably damaged, Cosby has fought back in the last month by filing defamation suits against some of his accusers.

A guide to the allegations of Bill Clinton’s womanizing
www.washingtonpost.com

On Twitter, Donald Trump, the GOP presidential front-runner, lashed out at Hillary Clinton, directly attacking her husband, the former president, for what Trump called “his terrible record of women abuse.”
If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)December 28, 2015
Trump is obviously referring to the sexual allegations that have long swirled around Clinton, even before he became president. We’d earlier explored this question in 2014when Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) wrongly claimed that a half dozen women had called Clinton a “sexual predator.” But for younger voters who may be wondering what the fuss is about, here again is a guide to the various claims made about Clinton’s sex life.
We will divide the stories into two parts: consensual liaisons admitted by the women in question and allegations of an unwanted sexual encounter.
Consensual affairs
Gennifer Flowers — a model and actress whose claims of a long-term affair nearly wrecked Clinton’s first run for the presidency in 1992. (Clinton denied her claims at the time, but under oath in 1998 he acknowledged a sexual encounter with her.)
Monica Lewinsky — intern at the White House, whose affair with Clinton fueled impeachment charges. This was a consensual affair, in which Lewinsky was an eager participant; she was 22 when the affair started and Clinton was her boss.
Dolly Kyle Browning — A high school friend who said in a sworn declaration that she had had a 22-year off-and-on sexual relationship with Clinton.
Elizabeth Ward Gracen — a former Miss America who said she had a one-night stand with Clinton while he was governor — and she was married. She went public to specifically deny reports he had forced himself on her.
Myra Belle “Sally” Miller — the 1958 Miss Arkansas who said in 1992 that she had had an affair with Clinton in 1983. She claimed that she had been warned not to go public by a Democratic Party official: “They knew that I went jogging by myself and he couldn’t guarantee what would happen to my pretty little legs.”
Some might argue that because Lewinsky and Gracen had relations when Clinton was in a position of executive authority, Clinton engaged in sexual harassment.
Allegations of an unwanted sexual encounter
Paula Jones — A former Arkansas state employee who alleged that in 1991 Clinton, while governor, propositioned her and exposed himself. She later filed a sexual harassment suit, and it was during a deposition in that suit that Clinton initially denied having sexual relations with Lewinsky. Clinton in 1998 settled the suit for $850,000, with no apology or admission of guilt. All but $200,000 was directed to pay legal fees.
Juanita Broaddrick — The nursing home administrator emerged after the impeachment trial to allege that 21 years earlier Clinton had raped her. Clinton flatly denied the claim, and there were inconsistencies in her story. No charges were ever brought.
Kathleen Willey — The former White House aide claimed Clinton groped her in his office in 1993, on the same day when her husband, facing embezzlement charges, died in an apparent suicide. (Her story changed over time. During a deposition in the Paula Jones matter, she initially said she had no recollection about whether Clinton kissed her and insisted he did not fondle her.) Clinton denied her account, and the independent prosecutor concluded “there is insufficient evidence to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that President Clinton’s testimony regarding Kathleen Willey was false.” Willey later began to claim Clinton had a hand in her husband’s death, even though her husband left behind a suicide note.
Note that no court of law ever found Clinton guilty of the accusations.
Peter Baker, in “The Breach,” the definitive account of the impeachment saga, reported that House investigators later found in the files of the independent prosecutor that Jones’s lawyers had collected the names of 21 different women they suspected had had a sexual relationship with Clinton. Baker described the files as “wild allegations, sometimes based on nothing more than hearsay claims of third-party witnesses.” But there were some allegations (page 138) that suggested unwelcome advances:
“One woman was alleged to have been asked by Clinton to give him oral sex in a car while he was the state attorney general (a claim she denied). A former Arkansas state employee said that during a presentation, then-Governor Clinton walked behind her and rubbed his pelvis up against her repeatedly. A woman identified as a third cousin of Clinton’s supposedly told her drug counselor during treatment in Arkansas that she was abused by Clinton when she was baby-sitting at the Governor’s Mansion in Little Rock.”
The Bottom Line
Trump’s claim is a bit too vague for a fact check. In any case, we imagine readers will have widely divergent reactions to this list of admitted affairs and unproven allegations of unwanted sexual encounters. But at least you now know the specific cases that Trump is referencing.
