Cruz: Trump tax returns may show mob connection
Politico ^ | 2/28/16 | ELENA SCHNEIDER

Posted on 02/28/2016 8:51:18 AM PST by jimbo123

Ted Cruz speculated on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that Donald Trump may be hesitant to release his tax returns because of “Donald's business dealings with the mob, with the mafia.”

“ABC, CNN, multiple news reports have reported about his some dealings with, for example, S&A Construction, which was owned by 'Fat Tony' Salerno, who is a mobster who is in jail,” Cruz said Sunday morning. “Maybe his taxes show those business dealings are a lot more extensive than has been reported.”

You don’t get it. Smears like this are the principled conservatism from the fruited plains of Alberta that America has been waiting for.

Ted Cruz would know something about the mob. He’s in one called the Republican establishment. We can admit he played a lot of us for a bunch of saps. He’s a Bush protege and he still carries their water and everyone else’s in The Club.

One reality for all Trump supporters: Any real estate developer in New York has to play inside baseball with the Mob in order to be successful...that’s just a given! So, rest assured that Trump has to have done business (made deals) with this crowd over his many decades in NY. In fact, Cruz pointed out public records of Trump business deals with so-called Mob figures in his interview this morning. I’m not saying that Trump is a Mobster or in the Mafia, just that dealing with these guys is cost of doing business for a guy like Trump...I think everyone has seen the ‘Godfather’!

If these connections come out (maybe in the tax return records?) during the general election, then we are more likely to have President Hildabeast!

Even took money from him.

I honestly thought Cruz was smarter than to go down this road. Pathetic.

Me too. This is surprising I have not thought he was that bright for a while but with all my com padres here on FR and in talk radio have been telling me he brilliant.

If you could buy Ted Cruz at how smart he really is and sell him at how smart Mark Levin thinks he is. I suspect you'd make a healthy profit.

Cruz was supposed to be a different kind of candidate.

He is no different that the rest of the DC Hacks.

In the Democratic controlled NYC, especially with the Democratic controlled Mafia Unions, if you want to be in construction that is the world the Democrats have dealt.

DJT remind me a lot of the bad boys era Pistons basketball team in that his basic theory is keep fouling throwing cheap shots until the referees funny just assume that’s just your style of play and quit calling fouls and let you win anyway. It was a bad way to win basketball it’s even worse would run a country

Good analogy.

Can you imagine if everyone acted like Trump? This world would be a nasty place to live. There are ways to be successful without being a brash, poop flinging, a-hole.

With all his billions trump should have helped take down the mob. They hurt free enterprise and hurt small business.

Just saying...

But I guess it's easier to” do deals” with the enemy than to combat crime and corruption.

Ted/s father, Rafael Cruz, delivered a sermon in August, 2012 where he discusses how Christians should "take dominion over the earth." Cruz goes on to define what that means, saying "dominion is over every area -- society, education, government, economics..." ..... and as a practical matter pols take money from bankers and return it to pastors.

Can/t wait to see Cruz/s tax returns. Cruz/s economic libertarianism dovetails nicely w/ globalist Goldman/Sachs---who financed Ted into office.....G/S is Heidi's $700,000 a year employer. So it looks like the Cruz/s got a headstart on dominionist plans to get money from bankers and return it to pastors.

JUST WONDERING: What role would Cruz give his father in a Cruz administration?

RAFAEL CRUZ DECLARES TED THE ANOINTED ONE
In a 2013 interview with Christian Broadcasting Networks' David Brody. Cruz said he told Ted: You know Ted, you have been gifted above any man that I know and God has destined you for greatness.

His dad goes on to suggest that his son Ted is destined to save freedom in America, and even CBN/s Brody called Cruz/s political career a thing of God.
