(AP) Donald Trump is slamming Republican presidential rival Ted Cruz as a "great hypocrite" for tapping big financial institutions for loans while portraying himself as an anti-establishment outsider.

Trump kept the new feud between the two front-runners alive in New Hampshire and on Twitter before a tea party convention in South Carolina at which both are appearing. ...

Trump challenges Cruz for taking loans from Goldman Sachs and Citibank when he was running for his Texas Senate seat.

Where does Trump and his companies go to get loans?

Some have thought this is really a friendly strategy between these two but at this point I’d be surprised at that.

ok, let’s see posted 8X. Still shows your guy is a creepy progressive who plays Alinsky with the best on the left because he is a creepy progressive Alinsky.
How about a fact? DT has NO credibility when he changes his opinion to get what he wants for his entire life.

Trump wasn’t trashing the areas those lenders operated in, and then taking loans from them anyway.

Remember?

Is Trump trying to tell us that he doesn't know what a margin loan is?

He doesn't know that it's a cash loan against securities?

That it's a collateralized loan?

Of course he does.

He's lying.

Cruz takes out loan using his personal assets as collateral.

Trump takes out billions in Business loans and files bankruptcy.

New York values.

Trump is all about trashing. It's who he is. It's what he does.

Now if he were really to build "The Wall" AND get Mexico to pay for it, we'd be getting somewhere.

Look up borrowing on margin then ask yourself if Trump’s empire wasn’t built on the same principle.

Facts, they are your friends when you bother to look them up.

The Wharton school grad doesn't understand margin loans?

Until very recently, no one knew about Cruz’s financial relationships
with several big Wall Street companies.

The same Wall Street companies that Cruz railed against.

America knows Trump.

They did not know about the sleezy side of Cruz.

The bloom is coming off the Rose.

Trump uses the brand name "Trump" as an asset to secure millions in loans, then files bankruptcy.

Shows the value of the Trump name.

I think maybe the Citibank loan was a signature loan. You might check that out.

The difference is Trump has never railed against Wall Street companies
other than say he is going to tax them more.

Cruz has railed against Wall Street.
Then he gets caught with his hand in the Wall Street cookie jar.
It’s not illegal, but is a different side of Cruz people did not know.
