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.”

Oh, well, WaPo NYT,and CNN. MSNBC, or Fox...Bastions of no agenda biased reporting. I’m convinced now. Only El Comadrejo Cruz can save us now from the Tony Sopranos.

I think most of Trump’s supporters realize he’s a dirty scumbag. I mean he ran casinos—one of the most obvious dirtbag businesses in the nation.

They simply don’t care. I think they feel so burned by the DNC and GOP that they just want to pull a Trump and take a dump on the whole lot of them. Funny thing is voting for Cruz would actually be a bigger dump on them because they really don’t want Cruz.

The reason that the conservative movement cannot get much done is because the self proclaimed true conservatives keep exposing themselves as hacks when they get to DC. Rubio and Cruz are cases in point.

If any voter in Texas casts a vote for Ted Cruz after his lunatic rant about Trump & the mob (wonder if Teddy boy got the mob tidbit from his soul brother, Glenn “nutcase” Beck....they gotta be stoned on reefer or simply, totally insane!!!

Texas vote for Trump this coming Tuesday to win the Texas primary. Ted Cruz is done, toast, no burnt, toast!!! The great, magnificent “Lone Star State” voters cannot vote for hateful, buffoon, Ted Cruz. If thy do....Texas will be a joke butt for the next 25 years. Vote only for DONALD J. TRUMP!!! GO DONALD J. TRUMP!!!

There is no bigger mob than the Obama federal government.
Not to mention the Clinton mafia.

I’m not sure it’s the mob, but Trump is clearly trying to hide something. It only takes a few minutes to make a photocopy of your return, no matter how voluminous it might be. So his excuse that it is too voluminous just does not cut it.

I’m voting for Cruz because he can solve those problems you discuss. Cruz is for school choice to break the public school monopoly. I don’t think Trump’s talked about it. Cruz has not been for the Libyan war or toppling Assad, but both him and Trump said they’ll use ground troops to fight ISIS if necessary. Cruz has a tax plan that will help the economy, lower the cost of doing business here, and he’ll cut Obamacare and other regulations on business. Cruz has been on record for a wall and border control since he ran for Senate.

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


And with all his millions Cruz should have tried to save some babies. But apparently he doesn’t put his money where his mouth is.

Cruz has proved once again, he is disconnected from real America

This guy never filed a business tax return in his life

Bidimus1 - glad you have a sense of humor seems to be in a little short supply these days.

I must say I'm loving this election. Best one since I started following these things in 1984.

The truth is that I'm disappointed Cruz is turning out to be just to be another phony politician.

I wonder to myself if Trump wasn't in the race and Cruz was hanging out with Beck would I be a Rubio guy (vomit).

Its all bizarrely surreal but its loud and people are getting their voices heard.

Its a crap shot with any of these guys so I'm not going to miss a chance to do something different.

I guess I'm no longer a Republican but I feel more American.

I know feelings

They’ll be the same ones bitching about Trump later and not admitting they were supporters. Those who do will just say the other GOP candidates would have been worse.
