The FEC has a perfect right to the info/details/full disclosure it requested from Cruz. Cruz’ response was an arrogant, ‘It’s none of your business.’

Cruz’ tactics and transparency mirror those of Obama. Both feel entitled, and that rules don’t apply to them. Both had very warped, unhealthy childhoods, and anyone who doesn’t make the connection skipped Psych 101.

Will you finally supply the name of the federal agency that requested full details from Trump re his tax returns? The FEC is not just some campaign rival or civilian entity looking to score points. It’s an official government oversight office. Stop evading the question, and link to the request made of Trump by a similar fed agency.

“Love him or hate we have never seen anything like this in our lives.”

Certainly, he never has to ask God for forgives! Someone else doesn’t ask God for forgiveness and he has created a mess here on Earth!

Correct. You are the one demanding Trump’s tax returns. I am not demanding Cruz’s returns, partial or otherwise. You are the one who seems to think they are important. If so, then you should be demanding that Cruz release his complete tax returns along with your desire for Trump to do so.

Whereas Cruz lies about the reason he doesn’t tithe/gives nothing to his home church.

Carter was very religious, while Reagan’s wife consulted astrologers in the WH, and planned ‘Ronnie’s’ schedule according to the advice of said astrologers.

Which of the two was a better president?

No I mean the Bray who opposed Kelo and saw property rights as inalienable by government and corporatists alike.

Which, btw, is worse: giving nothing to your home church, or lying about the reason you give nothing? Based on the Ananias and Sapphira incident in Acts 5, it would appear the lie is worse.

Great post and vital information.

The cruz fans aka haters here won’t read it or digest it, it goes against the meme that cruz had the vision to put in that super duper super secret poison pill and walla, all is good in the world! So laughable yet so tragic.

I give you credit for going toe to toe with the stubborn and unyielding here, Lord knows it’s akin to banging ones head against the wall. Great job

How about learning something?

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_28700919/colorado-republicans-cancel-2016-presidential-caucus-vote

This article is dated AUGUST 25, 2015, not even a year ago. This also proves that the GOPe, seeing Trump's success purposely went this route to hurt the outsiders. See the bold red highlighting below. The GOPe Gods determined that they and only they would be the goal keepers of the delegates. Sure you and other peasants could go through the process. But the GOPe has/had the power to say no to anyone who was pro Trump. I cannot imagine not even having a straw poll to reflect the will of the peasants.

Colorado will not vote for a Republican candidate for president at its 2016 caucus after party leaders approved a little-noticed shift that may diminish the state's clout in the most open nomination contest in the modern era.

The GOP executive committee has voted to cancel the traditional presidential preference poll after the national party changed its rules to require a state's delegates to support the candidate who wins the caucus vote.

The move makes Colorado the only state so far to forfeit a role in the early nomination process, according to political experts, but other caucus states are still considering how to adapt to the new rule.

“It takes Colorado completely off the map” in the primary season, said Ryan Call, a former state GOP chairman.

Republicans still will hold precinct caucus meetings in early 2016 to begin the process of selecting delegates for the national convention — but the 37 delegates are not pledged to any specific candidate.

For Republicans, no declared winner means the caucus will lack much of its hype. The presidential campaigns still may try to win delegate slots for their supporters, but experts say the move makes it less likely that candidates will visit Colorado to court voters.

The Colorado system often favors anti-establishment candidates who draw a dedicated following among activists — as evidenced by Rick Santorum’s victory in 2012 caucus. So the party's move may hurt GOP contenders such as Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Rand Paul, who would have received a boost if they won the state.

Why so touchy? I just said Trump by his own account is a very unusual guy? That’s right, isn’t it? What is the picayune tithing stuff about? Does one have to tithe to be a Christian?
So he doesn’t tithe, so what? Do you tithe? BTW I want to see Trump’s tax return can you tell where they are?
And btw Ananias and Sapphira has nothing whatsoever to do with tithing!

I know. Everyone in Texas just knew that the flul-mouther Manhattan billionaire would run for POTUS this year. Soooooo, naturally when Palin campaigned for him (everyone also just KNEW she would be on board for Trump) everyone just assumed that Ted Cruz was in Trump’s hip pocket and he later betrayed them. RIIIIIIIGHT!!!!

Not only that but Texas voters could not decide for Cruz until he got Sarah’s seal of approval. Of course and that’s why Trump carried Texas this year Oh, wait.....

Since when do Conservatives side with the IRS? Trump has said he pays as little as legally possible which is exactly right.

Has anyone explained what the $500,000 was for?

Your first paragraph is discredited Birther nonsense. Ask any court.

Your next three paragraphs are valid criticisms and Cruz should be ashamed of the fact that they are accurate. BTW, what are your speific problems with the Patriot Act? I may agree but not necessarily.

Lyin' Ted is more Trumpette fantasyland.

The fact that the media treat Trump with kid gloves let him get away with worse than your middle three paragraphs as though he were Hillary herself

Cruz and Rubio have never “identified as a Democrat”. Both are eligible to be president, and both can beat Clinton or Sanders.

Trump is the worst of the candidates to put up against Clinton. He has high negatives with women, and his past support and friendship with the Clintons will make any current criticism seem disingenuous.

Putting Trump against Clinton is like putting Romney up against ObamaCare. They can say the right words but no one believes them.

No that would be Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and I hope he primaries Cornyn's corrupt patoot right back to Texas. Secondly, I do not worship the false god of The Wall Almighty as though it were a substitute for the entire rich tapestry of conservatism.

Qui amat meam patriam, amat profiscisci conservativi. Non Trumpus est.

So was Che Guevara. He was a patriot, too.
