Not only that, but this action strongly suggests that Trump will fight vote fraud. He ought to fire his Illinois guy though for not making duplicates and then being so late in actually filing, he did not have time to make duplicates.

Requiring your opponents to follow the rules is playing dirty? Good to know.

There you go. Trump plays dirty too. Doesn’t matter who wins in 2016. This nation is screwed.

It's not playing dirty. It's playing to win. If someone can't prove their signatures are real or can't survive a legal challenge then too bad.

Jut WTH is “sleazy” about enforcing election laws? Is your TDS so advanced that now even proper laws no longer matter, just as long as nothing hurts YOUR candidate? You’re a fool if you think it wise to not enforce such laws. And what good are those laws if we ignore them? Would you offer the same cover to the Democrats? To Hillary Clinton? Awaiting your reasoned answer - but I shant hold my breath.

I must correct you on the “GS loan” assertion ... That loan taken by Senator Cruz for his Senate campaign was in fact a taken against his investment equity margin - a perfectly legal option.

That sound you just heard was the quickly clenching buttocks of Clark County, NV’s Democrat Party chair.

Yeah it is so dirty to make an effort to remove someone from the ballot that may not have the prerequisites to be on it.

It's how the insider lawyers turned politicians work the system, they have these little "Gentleman agreements" when breaking the rules. These idiots apparently don't get it nor understand Trump is not part of their D.C. insiders club.

I fully understand that but don’t get the part where he failed to fully disclose it.

“YOU’RE FIRED!” is very likely the next message this individual receives from Mr. Trump. And, yes, voter fraud MUST ALWAYS be fought against - no matter from whose camp it originates. The fastest way to doom a republic is to allow voter fraud to go unchecked. I am disappointed to learn that so many people fail in comprehending that most salient point - particularly in seeing such failing here on FR.

Vigorish, or simply the vig, also known as juice, under-juice, the cut or the take, is the amount charged by a bookmaker, or bookie, for taking a bet from a gambler. In the United States, it also means the interest on a shark's loan. The term originates from the Russian word for winnings, vyigrysh.[1] Bookmakers use this practice to make money on their wagers regardless of the outcome. To minimize their risk, some bookmakers do not want to have an interest in either side winning in a given sporting event. Instead, they are interested in getting equal betting on both outcomes of the event. In this way, the bookmaker minimizes his risk and always collects a small commission from the vigorish.

On that particular aspect of the issue, I cannot opine, as I have no knowledge of the law as it applies to the subject.

This is what operatives do. I saw somewhere that they’re challenging Hillary’s signatures in Illinios. You don’t think Romney was doing this, and you don’t think someone is not looking at Trump’s?

“That is how the Dems play it, and that is how we must play it as well.”

******

Spoken like a true dem/lib. “Hey, everybody’s doing it so we should be like everybody.” I see why you like Trump.

Maybe I misunderstood, are you saying he was not required to file this with the FEC because the GS loans were not for campaign purposes? Is this what Cruz said? Or did he say the loans were against his investments thus making it a non-requirement for disclose with the FEC?

“Just WTH is “sleazy” about enforcing election laws?”

Nothing. They should be enforced.

I suppose their is nothing sleazy about waiting until the 11:00 hour to call them out?

One action is illegal

Both actions are sleazy.
