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.
Satan is very clever to twist the Word to his own ends...very clever indeed. It is our responsibility to not be ensnared by such traps.
Saying a Christian should not decide between good and evil and act accordingly is one of those traps:
1 Cor 2:15 (KJV) But he that is spiritual judgeth all things...
1 Thes 5:21 (Phi) “By all means use your judgment, and hold on to whatever is good.”
I think I have mentioned the criteria on several occasions. Candidates that are squishy on LIFE and the means to protect it are not qualified.... That counts out Trump who has been a "pro-choice" infanticide supporter and has stated last summer that we should consider the "good aspects" of planned parenthood murderers. He has also lent vocal support and financial donations to corrupt, anti-gun politicians.
Is that judgment towards and about others, or towards and about one’s self??
What did Jesus teach?? Why did no man, not Jesus condemn the woman taken in adultery??
Think about it. Our judgment of others changes nothing about their status with God. Nothing. So again I ask, what spiritual value, reward, or treasure do we gain by judging others??
Of course there are, but nowhere near a majority. I’ve lived in NY/NJ my whole life, there are plenty of us conservatives here, but nowhere near a majority. No Republican is going to win the union vote, NY or NJ.
I think it is. I also think the Canadian thing is a big problem for Cruz and he knows it.
Judgment and subsequent condemnation of others is a trap.
So what? What’s the point? You call Trump and his supporters names, what’s the difference?
No answer?

If Trump was talking to me like you have I would. But he hasn’t. I have a feeling he would respect me far more than you have.
Trump has to answer for his actions, you have to answer for yours, and I have to answer for mine.
Stating facts.... If you support LIEberal candidates or causes, you can’t act like those choices never happened. Trump is a LIEberal who buys the corruptible and bullies those he can’t.
LMAO
I hear enough lies from the man himself. No need to subject myself to further fairy tales of Trump’s newfound conservatism.

“The Boos Continue” is not an accurate title for this piece. There was a tiny bit of booing when he mentioned Cruz’s name. He had not said anything substantive enough to boo, so obviously these were Cruz supporters who had probably donated to Cruz and were committed in other ways.
I think we have to start imposing fines on headline writers who waste our time. It’s the latest media dirty trick. Well, actually the Times has been doing it forever, but now it is widespread.
How many ways can a lying dog lie? Maybe there’s a handbook somewhere . . .
Don’t bother.
This is the ridiculous twisting of word and thought to meet your need. Maoist much?
So now you are posting from pro-Obama, pro-amnesty sites.
Are you wearing your Pro-illegal Goldman Sachs button today?
Cruz stands for liberty .... of illegal aliens and their anchor babies ... of Goldman Sachs puppet strings ... of Muslims entering the US .... of Canadian lawyers ... of TPA and TPP sell out to Obama and the globalists.
