"....That $100,000 gift from Trump to the Boehner-allied super PAC was twice as big as his next-biggest contributions. [Trump's] given $50,000 .. to Karl Rove's American Crossroads (2010) [and $50,000 to] the pro-Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Kentuckians for Strong Leadership (2013)..."

...."It saddens me to say this. I sat in my office, I told my staff the majority leader looked me in the eye and looked 54 Republicans in the eye. I cannot believe he would tell a flat-out lie, and I voted based on those assurances that he made to each and every one of us," Cruz said.
"What we just saw today was an absolute demonstration that not only what he told every Republican senator, but what he told the press over and over and over again, was a simple lie.".....
Jan 19, 2016: - Trump pans Cruz's 'temperament'
"..Ted has got a rough temperament, you can't call people liars on the Senate floor when they are your leaders. Not a good thing to do if you want to curry favor and get the positive votes later on own," Trump said.".....
Jan 25, 2016 - Trump: Establishment rallying behind me to stop 'nasty' Cruz
..."Look, at a certain point, we got to make deals," Trump continued. "We can't have a guy who stands in the middle of the Senate floor and every other senator thinks he's a whack job. You have to make deals, you have to get along, that's the purpose of what our founders created, and Ted cannot get along with anybody. He's a nasty person."
Sorry sorry..
2013
Opps!
: )
Thanks.
let’em post the BS. Like I’m worried about a donation a business man made in 2010 when he’s running for election in 2016.
When they can’t find anything good to say about their candidate, they say negative stuff about our candidate.
Just tell em:
You think Cruz is the best conservative that can win the Presidency. I think Trump is the best conservative that can win the Presidency.
Yes, Trump isn’t Ted Cruz who is owned and backed and by Wall Street money and Texas money lender/private equity types like Tony Neugebauer. Look at just this one PAC from a money lender. This guy used a Puerto Rico address and his businesses are in TX.

Trump is right as you don’t piss off fellow senators by calling co-workers liars etc. You have to work with them so you state the facts and people will make up their own mind. Name calling and frequent confrontations at work normally end up with a firing.
Trump.. Conservative? How so?
Sadly it is true. A small number of the Cruz fans have made it to where a number of ladies do not post often anymore. In fact, one said she might leave permanently. For the most part the folks with the name calling of other posters seem to be fans of one candidate. I wonder why Cruz does not use
Rafael?
Agree... calling large groups of people stupid and morons, idiots works much better.
Free speech for thee and not for me?
I’m a former Cruz supporter who now pulls for Trump. As long as it’s insults and arguments flying instead of lead, it’s just good old American political discourse to me.
Thin skins aren’t helpful on either side.
I used to donate to the RNC. I donated to McCain. I donated (heavily) to W and worked with his campaign staff enough to receive a yearly Christmas card.
Don't campaign or donate for the RNC anymore. According to FR, however, a person cannot be enlightened.
wow, that’s just fine, go for trumpie, because I will still love the fact that Cruz is my Senator here in Texas.
Is there a problem with the numbers - the $$$$$$ - Trump donated to the leaders of the GOPe?
$50K here $50K there....
And it wasn’t in 2010, it was in 2013.
Trump is NOT a conservative. He is a Republican at best and a RINOe at that.
The only thing he has proven is he can donate to both side of an election so that whomever wins he has paid them off
He has made a lot of promises to you Trumpanzees. I hope yawl are not disappointed when your master lets yawl.
Cruz has fought the good fight in the Senate. Sure he has made some mistakes but he has fought the Establishment
Your boy Cruz uses his pals in the so called private equity business to fund Super PAC’s and do his dirty work against Trump. It turns out Cruz wants to use money from governments to include the US, yes taxpayer dollars, to leverage stocks so he his Harvard roommate plus their Jamaican partners will get rich.
Jan 7, 2016 - Chuck Schumer: “...Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who says don’t cut Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, he’s the only Republican candidate who’s against free trade,” Schumer explained. “He’s the only one who voices clearly this idea that ‘well if very wealthy people aren’t paying their fair share of taxes, they ought to.’”

June 16, 2016: “....Trump defended his donations to New York Democrats in an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity that April, proclaiming that in the state, “everyone is Democratic” and implying that to donate otherwise would be waste of his money.
“So, what am I going to do, contribute to Republicans? Am I going to contribute to, I mean, one thing I’m not stupid. Am I going to contribute to a Republican for my whole life when they get, they run against some Democrat. And the most they can get is one percent of the vote,” he said, noting his “good relationship” with and donations to Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Trump last donated to Schumer directly in 2010, though he had made donations ranging from $250 to $2,000 since 1996.
“I mean, I’ve contributed to Schumer, I contribute - I’ve known Schumer for many, many years. And I have a good relationship with him. The fact is, that I think it is time maybe that we all do get along,” he told Hannity...
