GOP frontrunner Donald Trump went after GOP rival Sen. Ted Cruz for missing a Senate vote on a bill that would have audited the Federal Reserve.
"It is so important to audit The Federal Reserve, and yet Ted Cruz missed the vote on the bill that would allow this to be done," Trump posted on Twitter on Monday afternoon.
Cruz missed a vote on legislation in the Senate that reportedly would have audited the Federal Reserve, as the Guardian noted, as did former Rep. Ron Paul to campaign for his son Sen. Rand Paul.
Paul referenced Cruz's missed vote, previously telling Iowans, "That's not the type of leadership we need in the White House."
Ben Jacobs, a reporter for the British newspaper The Guardian, reported Cruz has attempted to gather support from libertarian minded Republicans. "However, by skipping the vote on auditing the Fed, Cruz risks jeopardizing some of the credibility he has built in [the libertarian] faction of the Republican party. Auditing the Federal Reserve has long been an animating cause of Paul and his supporters and it has taken on major symbolic significance," Jacobs wrote.

It’s useless to argue with this guy. He doesn’t even know how primaries work. He thinks we already have a nominee :)
You really do tend to be a very small person. Do you intend to keep this harassment up? Seems Trump taught you well.
I don’t intend to argue with him, just let him continue on with his childishness, after all he/she was trained by the master himself/trump.
Cruz has been caught 4 times already telling lies.
1. Attempt to steal Carson’s votes in Iowa
2. Photoshop Ad about Rubio and Obama
3. Phone Ad about Rubio comment on the bible
4. Phony push poll Ads in SC about Trump.
Cruz is toast.
Look at the top of your dollar bill, front side. It says Federal Reserve Note.
So do you know what the legal definition of a “note” is?
It’s a loan, if you didn’t know. Why don’t you spend some time educating yourself by watching:

Oh, the robots are awake huh ..??
I can tell you’re robots because you just say the same thing over and over.
People hate Cruz and he lies.
You need to get a new program; this one is getting old and useless.
Hmmmmm ..?? I thought you were supporting Trump .. how come you never talk about him ..??
What exactly have the conservatives in congress accomplished?
Obamacare scrapped?
Illegals deported?
Wall built?
Anchor babies outlawed?
National debt reduced?
Abortion restricted?
China trade deficit reduced?
Food stamp growth curbed?
Welfare growth reduced?
Fraud in Medicare & Social Security under control?
As many as 25% of Medicare payments go to fraudulent claims,
and tens of thousands of people over age 110 still mailed
social security checks without proof they are living!
If Trump can deliver any 3 of above, he is more than enough
conservative for most rational people.

Go Trump 2016! Make America Great Again! It is almost too late, but only Donald Trump has the know-how, courage, name recognition, and freedom from rich donors to accomplish that gargantuan task.
You don't understand. If Ted had been there and voted for it, all the other senators who can't stand him would have voted against it because he was for it. So by not voting for it he was really trying to help it pass. The man is a legislative genius. /s
Well, if I own a US Treasury Note, it would be a security that matures between 1 and 10 years. In todays market, it would yield between 0.536% and 1.766%.
How is the Fed going to pay me my interest on the FRNs I own?
Cruz has degenerated into a crude joke just in the past 90 days. I sniffed him out much earlier then that. (The internet is just great for research)
: )
No kidding. With every passing day, it is becoming obvious,
Cruz is a slippery career politician, who will say what is popular at the time.
I researched how he voted for things. No way, Hose-ay!
LOL
