Donald Trump, the billionaire businessman and GOP presidential frontrunner, has taken off the gloves in his fight with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. What was friendly jabbing in the Fox Business Channel debate has gotten nasty as Trump now directly questions Cruz’s eligibility to serve as president and the $1 million loan Cruz took from Goldman Sachs to jumpstart his Senate campaign.

“Goldman Sachs owns him, he will do anything they demand. Not much of a reformer!” Trump tweeted.

“Ted Cruz purposely, and illegally, did not list on his personal disclosure form personally guaranteed loans from banks,” Trump added. “They own him!”

Trump is tying the citizenship accusation and the undisclosed loan question together. Trump is now floating the idea Cruz, who was born in Canada and a dual Canadian citizen until June of 2014, may have more undisclosed loans, possibly from Canadian banks. “Based on the fact that Ted Cruz was born in Canada and is therefore a “natural born Canadian,” did he borrow unreported loans from C banks?” Trump asked.

*** “Donald’s record does not match what he says as a candidate,” [Cruz] told reporters before a national security forum here at a church, delivering an assessment of the onetime ally in the race that would have been unthinkable as recently as last week. “I recognize what Donald says on the campaign trail today is fairly conservative, but voters are discerning.”…

Allahpundit sure is full of himself, however there is one thing in the article that I would give advice to Cruz to do: listen to Bill kristol and focus on OBAMACARE and the SUPREME COURT, when Cuz does that (especially in Iowa), he'll have TRUMPED Trump on those issues as he'd be much better on them (not that Trump would be bad, though really on the courts I don't know where Trump stands?, Cruz just would be light years better).

You make sense. Cruz needs to stay in the weeds where he is more comfortable, on subjects like Obamacare and Supreme Court picks, where he retails better.

It also serves as a much classier, adult way of pointing “over there”, while he ducks the incoming scandals, by pointing to TRUMP.

Cruz is in combat but actually clearing up nothing, on the allegations, lawsuits and the ridiculous “accidental” oversight of reporting loans.

I mean, we’re trading on Cruz being the most “brilliant” guy walking and the finest debater on the stage, and 14 days later we’re still waiting for judicial clearance and definition of birth status, and also into day 4 and counting, on the loans.

Those were cleared up quite nicely in the debate. The only thing we’re remotely taking about is “New York(’s progressive) Values”.
