Last week, the tiny but noisy super PAC Make America Awesome ran a Facebook ad, part of a flight of three anti-Trump ads, aimed at social conservatives in Utah:
Alongside the increasingly playground-like tussle between Trump and Cruz, the re-emergence of the nude photo has actually angered Verglas.
"I never gave any approval for this image to be used anywhere else but GQ in the U.K. It puts me in a very weird situation as I have to protect my intellectual property and the privacy of Melania Trump," the photographer says, adding that he's already talking to his attorney. "I don't want those pictures to be used in certain ways which are inappropriate."

It makes no sense that a PAC, who gives the candidate millions, is supposedly filled with candidate supporters, whose reason for being is to put their man in the White House, would do something potentially damaging without bouncing off the official campaign.
"We're not affiliated with that PAC and had no knowledge of what they were doing!"
baloney.
Oddly enough, she didn't deny it though:

Not a subject matter I'd be interested enough in to retweet
To be fair, did she RT it because she liked it or because she thought it was abhorrent? It's not clear.
Rand is a lot more dangerous than Ted Cruz. I'm quite certain they'd rather have Trump than Rand.
Try again, Eleganz? Try being nicer next time though.
Your "quite certainty" means absolutely nothing, what exactly is quite certain? What real world evidence is that based off of? You have none.
So the whole point is to pay attention, to the facts. Jeb Bush endorsed Cruz which is a blatant example of "anything could happen".
If you want to live in your own world that anyone with the last name Paul is banned from any form of presidential electoral success because they're too "good" then your tinfoil hat fits perfectly.
Major establishment support like a flat out endorsement from Jeb Bush to Cruz is a very obvious example of how badly they don't want Trump.
Step back into the real world.
Behaviorally, when the facts are the ally of an individual, he or she almost always tends to focus on the facts of the matter at hand. In this case, if the key fact was that he had not had these affairs, Cruz would almost certainly have been much more strongly focused on the denial. That is, he very likely would have made a point of explicitly stating something along the lines of, “I did not have these affairs.”
Yet at no point in either statement did Cruz say that. He implied it by saying the allegations are false, and that they’re lies, but behaviorally, such statements are not equivalent to saying he never had the affairs. Even if we were to overlook that fact and consider his statements to be a denial, there is an overwhelmingly higher proportion of attack behavior compared to the effort expended at denial. This type of lopsided attack-to-denial ratio is very consistent with what we have historically seen with deceptive people when allegations are levied against them.
