A CNN debate between a Donald Trump supporter and former Ted Cruz communications director Amanda Carpenter went off the rails Friday when the Trump supporter suddenly accused Carpenter of having an illicit affair with her former boss.

CNN’s Kate Bolduan was hosting a segment on the feud between Trump and Ted Cruz. “Are you ready for Trump to move on?” she asked Boston Herald columnist Adriana Cohen.

“Oh, absolutely I think we should move on,” she responded. “Where we should move to is The National Enquirer story that has reported that has Ted Cruz has had affairs with five mistresses, including you’ve been named as well, Amanda.”

“I don’t think that’s ‘moving on’ at all, Adriana,” an exasperated Bolduan interrupted.

Please dispose of your condoms and find your designated driver.

[JustAnotherGen]

2. I love it!

This kind of inter party fighting is so much fun to watch from over here!

[CincyDem]

3. So this is what we have to look forward to until Cleveland.

What's next ? Santorum's "man on dog" ???

At some point, just when you think they've hit bottom, someone finds a trap door in the floor and says "hey look - we can go even lower".

4. I'm getting full!

[FLPanhandle]

9. I'm out of butter, can anyone loan me some?

[ejbr]

Chocolates anyone???

[FLPanhandle]

17. Jesus! Last Tango in Paris just flashed by!

[snooper2]

5. BEST ELECTION CYCLE EVA!

[jberryhill]

10. Well, by some weird measure of "best", I agree

I thought nothing could top 2008 but, man oh man, this is just some amazing shit right here.

[lpbk2713]

6. Boston Herald loses by default IMO.

Using The National Enquirer as a source?

Please.

[lancer78]

20. They got John Edwards n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

26. Gary Hart too, I believe...

You know what I like about France? They don't give a damn if their officials have affairs (in fact, they probably expect them too). We are too damn puritanical. I dislike Cruz because of his policies, not who has bedded.

[snappyturtle]

29. It gets better and better. Think what you will of NE, it does spawn investigation:

This could kill Ted's campaign...family values and all. Love it!

[enid602]

8. amanda

Poor Amanda Carpenter. I imagine her cred on christianmingle has gone to shit.

[underpants]

12. This is simply ridiculous

BUT very entertaining.

[gratuitous]

24. I gotta quit asking, "Lordy, what's next?"

First it was a dick-measuring contest. Lordy, what's next?

Then it was whose wife was more bangable. Lordy, what's next?

Now it's who's banging whom who is not who's wife. Lordy, what's--never mind. I don't want to think about it.

[awoke_in_2003]

27. My bet?

Lighting farts during the next debate. Blue flamers are the only way to go lower that doesn't involve cannibalism.

[GeoWilliam750]

30. LOVE it!!

[Shrike47]

34. Please, oh please, oh please. I'd even watch a damned debate for that.

[underpants]

33. when you start with "rapists" there is no upside

At this point there are statements of his that even news junkies like us have forgotten.

[Kaleva]

14. If the petition to allow open carry at the Repub convention is accepted,...

I predict mass casualties.

[Surya Gayatri]

15. You go gurrls!

[central scrutinizer]

18. Way to stay classy, repugs

Affairs wouldn't be a big deal if they weren't such sanctimonious hypocrites. Remember how hard it was to find a repug leader who hadn't had an affair with an intern to lead the Lewinsky witch hunt?

[salin]

21. Jerry Jerry Jerry

half expected big buff body guards to show up and pull them apart - but since they weren't in the same studio, the CNN host got to play that role.

[oberliner]

22. It wasn't "derailed" at all - it was exactly what CNN wanted

It's why they put all these Donald Trump people on their programs in the first place for stuff like this.

[lark]

23. About what you'd expect from a Trump bobble head.

Nasty lies told with vile glee, such a classless group of jerks. Is there some kind of hate test you have to take to be a Trump supporter? Only the biggest haters need apply?

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. What woman would want to have sex with Cruz?

[potone]

32. That's what makes it so shocking.

It isn't just puritanism; it's sheer horror!

[Hekate]

28. Ewwww. And yet, can you really turn away from a 20-car pileup?

More butter.

[GreatGazoo]

31. (joke) How do you know who Ted Cruz is having an affair with?

Answer: He comes home wearing HER eyeliner.

[Dopers_Greed]

35. This is so delicious

The Repug primary is such an epic debacle. I cannot wait for these evil assholes to get crushed in November.

[riversedge]

36. so, we have thus far one of the 5 named women -Carpenetr-DENYING sex with Cruz.

Carpenter kept her composure pretty well, considering the circumstances. “What’s out there is tabloid trash. If someone wants to comment on it, they can talk to my lawyer,” she responded.

“It’s categorically false,” she continued angrily. “You should be ashamed for spreading this smut. Donald Trump supporters should be held to account for it.”

“I’m not spreading smut,” Cohen responded.

“I will not be intimidated,” Carpenter shot back. “I will continue to make my thoughts known about Donald Trump. I’m not backing down.”

[spanone]

37. unfuckingbelievable....

no depths too deep

[MrWendel]

38. On Chris Hayes' Show...

He revealed that Trump and the Guy that runs the Enquirer have a very cosy relationship. In fact he told his employees no negative news on Trump.
