Because Trump would list the Mafia as a vendor?
Cruz is suppose to be smart and a lawyer but he keeps proving he is an idiot
LOL That’s why I call Trump the Manhattan godfather.
So you think he took the ‘Mob Payoff’ deduction?
Nice try.
Nine months ago I was a Cruz supporter. Six months ago I supported Trump but would have enthusiastically voted for Cuz.
One month ago I would have reluctantly voted for Cruz.
Today, if Cruz is the nominee, I stay home.
I agree with Ann Coulter on this issue. Trump should not release his returns until the audit is completed. It would be stupid for Trump to put his taxes out there and have the IRS get free pro bono services of all democrat/GOPe tax attorneys scrutinizing his return.
Cruz, Rube and Mitt are stupid.
So I guess this story is going to be posted 50 times today. Cruzio kiddies playing in the sandbox together.
Fail.
This is getting ridiculous. I like Cruz, but he is a terrible campaigner.
Then again, they may not.
I despise innuendo.
As an Italian American, I am SHOCKED, SHOCKED!! that people believe the mafia exists.
I’m here in NYC and you can trust me, it’s a myth...
:)
you can’t build a ####ing thing here without kicking up or the unions wont move a muscle on construction.
Of course Trump knew the deal, so what?
It’s his job now to bring down crime families?
Even though they don’t exist.
The funny things is people think Indians really own all the delis. Maybe in name :)
This crap is getting totally out of control.
Cruz said this on ABC. And he said it on NBC. So it’s no slip of the tongue. It was planned. I would expect such a move from Hillary, but not from Cruz. I’m done with him.
As an aside, has Trump said anything just as bad? Maybe, but that’s not the topic here. The topic is Cruz’s remarks. And they were Clinton-like.
This is funny as hell. Will this help Cruz? Probably not. Will this hurt Trump (with his core voters) No.
Will this help the democrats? Yes just like Trump has been helping them with his crap flinging.
Here’s the problem with Trump (and I used to kind of like him). He throws so much crap at everyone that eventually they will do the same thing to him and everyone now has crap all over them.
So really this is Trump’s fault bringing this kind of PT Barnum act to the Primaries. But to him everything is winning...it doesn’t matter what you’ll do after you win, but as long as you win that’s all the matters. So now we are reaping what we sow.
I just wonder how this will play in the national election when the media is going full anti-trump (which he hasn’t seen yet). When Trump’s free media dries up, will he really be willing to spend millions upon millions to have a chance of winning?
It is impossible in NYC to do any type of construction business or for that matter a service business such as plumbing or electrical, and not come into contact with elements of the Mob.
It is also near impossible to do any business in NYC involving manual labor without coming into contact with illegal aliens. For example, hiring a subcontractor to demolish a wall has a high chance of that subcontractor hiring without the builder’s knowledge, a group of illegals to come on site and do the work.
But these realities will not stop Trump’s enemies from turning them into condemnations. That’s just hardball politics. However, with Trump, these attacks backfire because he and his team, even the whole movement are fighters that take no prisoners. Hence, slimy attacks only grow the movement and make it more aggressive.
I do notice that the new 1040 has a space for money received from or given to the mob.
Cruz has really turned out to be a huge disappointment, just another establishment hack, willing to do and say anything. Fortunately, he’ll be gone soon, maybe as soon as Tuesday.
I’m very happy to see that those who live by the motto trump uber alles also have failed at basic reading comprehension skills. At no point did Cruz say there’s going to be a line item of pay off the mob he said there may be extensive or more extensive dealings with known mob front companies but that must be to complex a thing to understand for some I guess.
