In the department of Presidential candidates hearing jeers-not-cheers from crowds, Donald J. Trump -- Republican frontrunner, real estate mogul, racist eater of burgers -- is not having a very good week. During Thursday night's Republican debate on Fox Business, Trump faced criticism from the crowd in South Carolina after he attempted to lob attacks at Texas Senator (and closest polling threat) Ted Cruz.
If at first you don't succeed, try and fail again.
On Saturday afternoon in front of a crowd of tea party activists, Trump again attempted to toss shade at Cruz, and those in attendance defiantly booed the frontrunner. According to the Associated Press:
"Trump suggested Saturday that the Texas senator is owned by big banks like Citi and Goldman Sachs. The billionaire businessman made the comments at a tea party convention in South Carolina in front of crowd split among supports of the two leading GOP White House contenders."
The below video reveals that the crowd began to turn when Trump said, "You give a campaign contribution to Ted Cruz, you get whatever the hell you want."

Cruz has begun to jeopardize Trump's frontrunner status in recent weeks, and many have argued that Cruz's performance on Thursday night will only increase his support. According to the newest polling data from Real Clear Politics, Cruz falls right into the margin of error with Trump's lead in Iowa, the first state that will caucus in a little over two weeks.
Racist eater of burgers!! ROTFL
Thanks for the comic relief.
It ‘s good to hear that not everyone is getting duped by the Trumpster.
Cracked?
Yeah, Trump doesn’t need those Tea Partiers, Evangelicals, Social Conservatives and the like .... he’ll win the White House with liberal Republicans and high school drop-outs.
I’m watching the speech right now and they are NOT “ticked off”.
They were bussed in Bush supporters, yeesh.
Is this the same event where Cruz won the straw poll?
I finally succeeded from unsubscribing from his emails and now I’m getting almost daily letters begging for money.
Very annoying.
@realDonaldTrump has given $84K to @NYGovCuomo, who says conservatives have no place in NY because they don’t share #NewYorkValues
Hmmmm.............
was there such a reaction there in...say...’08???
Dick.G: AMERICAN!’

Semper FIDELIS
Just watching @ Planet WTF!

It seems that everyone is forgetting something very important. Trump said what he believed and how he felt right there in that room in front of those supporters of Cruz. Unlike Cruz, who goes behind closed doors to disavow the positions he made in front of his supporters. To me, that's a big deal.
He already has those groups, but it is a secret. Do not tell anyone.
I don’t understand the question.
