CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz ramped up his attacks against GOP rival Donald Trump on Tuesday, accusing the billionaire businessman of having "New York values" and questioning his foreign policy credentials.
It was the latest round in an escalating rivalry between the two outsider candidates, who are locked in a virtual tie in polls in the early-voting state of Iowa. Cruz's sharper rhetoric shows that the detente between the two has ended as they fight to win over voters less than a month before the state's kick-off caucuses.
Does a Hedge fund billionaire that has a 6 billion tax issue with the IRS fund a politician out of the goodness in his heart ?... Did you know Soros had. a 2 billion tax problem before he got Barry the Muslim elected !
Wow, you went out strong!
Cruz: “Sure, go ahead.â€
Interviewer: “What is your understanding of how one becomes a natural born Citizen?â€
Cruz: “Two citizen parents and born on the soil.â€

Ted Cruz is merely fighting back after weeks of relentless attacks from Trump?
I think it's about time Cruz hit back. And his sense of timing is impeccable as usual
Cruz is pissing us off.
What do you call someone calling another person a “maniac”? A compliment?
Good!
I’ve heard Trump make comments about the oil industry and I honestly didn’t know anyone in his position could be that clueless.
Standard dem talking points.
Trump is no different than Obama.
Gets someone to write up talking points for him then he tries to BS his way through a subject pretending to be an expert.
You are completely delusional. In what universe is Cruz going to take Trump out? The one where he is losing everywhere, in every state and every poll? That one? The one where he questions Trump’s NY values? That’ll work. You do realize that all Trump has to do is beat your guy over the head with the Corker vote on Thursday? Pretty timely now that our “friends” in Iran have taken 10 US service members captive. What a monumental lack of judgment on Teddy’s part voting to give Iran nukes and $150B. I’m sure Trump is shaking. Ted will weasel some legal jargon to explain how he did one thing to prevent another and then Trump will spend the next week mocking Cruz for being a lawyer. Enjoy your alternate reality though while it lasts.
Document Mercer being convicted of tax cheating.
“Cruz is pissing us off.’
Trump is pissing on us.
We can’t pretend that DT is normal AND isn’t a New Yorker. He raised the same points that Ted Cruz has been raising solo, in the Senate, for years. To pretend that Cruz isn’t a conservative makes your definition a bit tainted with that NY BS. New York is not anything like America. I like NY and The Donald, ALOT. Cruz has been doing the heavy lifting on the same conservative topics- and I mean, Hundreds of them - All By Himself- for years. If you doubt the conservative Cred of TCruz, I question what your Rove-Ass-McConell-Sack-Rino-Skinned definition spells out for a “conservative” movement...No NY slant implied- ...I guess...
Yes, when he’s slipping in Iowa polls.
the election about supporting outsiders to DC for the Gop side .
So ,
Ted Cruz and his wife who are the ultimate DC - NYC insiders handing out with with Goldman Sachs and crooked Hedge a Fund Tax cheats would be bulldozed in a matter of weeks by their hypocrisy and phony outsider spin. The Gop base would be easy divided .
You should be embarrassed to use it.
You’re right, Trump does see a lot of people at his rallies...a lot, across the country. Ted sees people at the Pizza Ranch.
Do you even know how a IRS investigation works ?
The investigation goes on for a decade and more and
You negotiate with the IRS or stall.
Currently, Mercer company is still being actively investigated by the a Gop run senate committee fir a 6 billion dollar tax schemes they created using overseas trades .
He needs the power of the executive branch to make the investigation go away.
I don’t think hitting Trump on New York values is very smart.
No your statement that he is a tax cheat simply because he is being investigated by the IRS makes no sense.
And to see that point of view on FR is stunning.
