The Boos Continue! Trump Ticks Off Tea Party Faithful and They Let Him Hear It
Mediaite ^ | January 16, 2016 | J.D. Durkin

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."

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

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.

Hi spacejunkie2001.

If you recall you are the one who got me started on iodine and I am forever grateful.

Regarding Trump - he says he changed his mind about abortion. If I have reason to doubt that he has seen the light on that matter then I will not vote for him. To me that is the one issue that trumps immigration.

Cruz took Goldman money while he religiously fleeced the flock on emotion about being anti Wall Street and how he sold everything to run. So, which is more reprehensible? Someone who changes their mind like Trump or someone who continues to deceive like Cruz.

LOL. Only a liberal like Trump suffers from ADHD. Liberal disorders only affect liberal jerks.

The Election Commission form is the most important that the voters would see. Not an error, done on purpose.

Yes, I remember and hope you’re feeling fantastic (be sure to take the mag, vit c, salt and selenium).

I hear what you’re saying but it’s really hard for me to watch him, in his own words, state that he’s for partial birth abortion. How could anyone ever justify killing a little baby that is capable of being born?

I know you’re sick of Cruz but he’s a solid conservative you has also steadfastly defended strong immigration for the US. Trump wants to quickly usher them back in!

PRAISE BE THE BLESSED NAME OF DONALD TRUMP.

RULE 7: "A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag." Don't become old news.

If you're going to play Saul Alinsky don't get stuck on rule 5. It gets boring.

Trump did not start the eligibility issue. He was asked in a recent interview and he had a few comments and that was it. The media pounded it and then he started bringing it up. And like he said in the debate, just get the issue resolved so you can be my VP.

McCain had to get the issue resolved. But Trump did not bring up the topic.

Cruz must win Iowa or he’s toast. Trump can lose Iowa and still win. Iowa is only vitally important to one of them.

Mediate should change their name to Exaggerate...

Just watch the video. The boos compared to the applauds at the end are not even remotely close.

For the record, the most pro Jeb/GOPe supporters is during the controlled Fox Business debates. It’s because they select their audience which is largely Jeb campaign people. .

Go to a normal Jeb rally and there is hardly anyone there.

Look at a Trump rally and there are thousands.

although ADHD is a real ailment, it is quickly cured by magnesium. these drug companies that tell kids, in particular, to take these awful drugs, are satan’s spawns.

I just heard a pompous ass tell a whopping lie. He’s just like the rest of the hacks out there. Ted did disclose his loans. Years ago when he ran for the Senate.
Donald Trump is a total jerk and he’s done in my book.
Free Republic is also a joke. It’s turned into a circus.
This country is screwed and most of you have done it to yourselves.

Trum will win Iowa.

Cruz is the Establishment/GOPe Hail Mary pass.

Once they are done using Cruz, then they will disqualify him with a shopped judge. Then we will be stuck with Jeb or Rubio.

WHICH ‘TEA PARTY’? You all need to learn that label has been hijacked by K st. lobbyists and is a SCAM to fool you..ie, Tea Party Patriots, Tea Party Express. They are NOT the grass roots!

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/04/tea-party-radio-network-105774

Yeah, the source sucks,but they are right and there are plenty of stories about this and if Freeperdom didn’t ignore them, you’d all know by now.

An article was here on FR this week admitting supporters for the establishment were brought in against Trump for the Debate.

And this dirty trick. Read more at http://dcwhispers.com/republican-establishment-unleashes-army-of-hecklers-to-disrupt-trump-campaign/#P2dH8vUIZtXZFDIb.99

The GOP establishment looks more like the DNC every day. It’s bad enough the NRCC & NRSC are stealing donations from Trump supporters to finance their own candidates. Cruz used to run that outfit, why doesn’t he object to this SCAM?
