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.
If I had $5 for every time I’ve heard a complaint like yours, my driveway would be sporting a new car.
A made in Mexico or China car right?
There are no “made in China” cars sold in the United States. Do you live in Russia or Nigeria?
So Mexican car then, got ya! Are there Mexicans in your trunk too?
Then you should dislike Cruz for taking below market margin loans from Goldman Sachs and hiding it on his FEC forms - which is even more than just a lie. Also, Cruz announced that he and his wife were putting up everything of their own to run for Senate. Not only did they hide the loans, but Ted was making 1 million a year as a lawyer and she was making 600k from Sachs. And, while we are at it how about all the dissembling over TPA/TPP.
