Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter on Monday to denounce a super political action committee opposing his campaign that's primarily funded by Marlene Ricketts, whose family owns the Chicago Cubs.
"I hear the Rickets (sic) family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $'s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!" wrote Trump ...

Just a warning, like he sent to Hillary when she brought Bill into her campaign.
They can donate to and support/oppose whoever they want. Who cares what Trump thinks.
Nope. It’s a promise.
Moreover, it really makes me wonder why someone who depends on fans of all stripes pouring through the turnstile would be so partisan against one person when a large portion of her fans would support that portion.
If she is willing to attack ONE PERSON, why is it wrong for Trump to attack back with the ammo that he has?
The people losing to him plus the donors footing the losers bill, the GOPe & MSM care a lot!
I actually love how he holds people accountable.
If the owner of the Cubs is against you, I have to be for you. Why does everybody want to push me into the Trump camp?
Can’t you all just wait till The Mouth has access to your IRS records? Just wow....
How DARE they not support The Donald! Enemies. Enemies!
Except when that person ran 4 of his companies into bankruptcy?
I would say the he knows where the bones are buried.
From the source article:
Ricketts had been an early backer of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s failed presidential campaign, giving an allied super PAC $5 million, which made her one of his top supporters. But she also sprinkled the infield, giving $10,000 to PACs backing Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Ricketts is married to Joe Ricketts, the billionaire T.D. Ameritrade founder. In October 2009, the couple formed a trust on behalf of their family that acquired a 95 percent controlling interest in the Cubs and Wrigley Field. Both Marlene and Joe Ricketts are conservatives, and son Pete is the governor of Nebraska.
Bizarre. But then, that’s Trump in a nutshell.
Trump should invited Bartman to an event.
That sounds like a threat. Is Trump threatening to use the Presidency to go after his political opponents?
Woah-woah-—Lindsey Graham? So Ricketts basically was paying Graham to bad mouth Trump....
Chicago Tribune had a hit piece on him this weekend. Trump hit back with this.
The Cubs should be renamed the Republicans. They never win, they always let you down, it’s helluva expensive to be a fan, and whatever they are selling at Wrigley Field sucks.
