El Trumpo is having a full blown freak out on Twitter against Ted Cruz:
|
Ted Cruz was born in Canada and was a Canadian citizen until 15 months ago. Lawsuits have just been filed with more to follow. I told you so — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Ted Cruz said he "didn't know" that he was a Canadian Citizen. He also FORGOT to file his Goldman Sachs Million $ loan papers.Not believable — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Was there another loan that Ted Cruz FORGOT to file. Goldman Sachs owns him, he will do anything they demand. Not much of a reformer! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
The Ted Cruz wiseguy apology to the people of New York is a disgrace. Remember, his wife's employer, and his lender, is located there! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
How is this any different from people pointing out two of his wives were immigrants? It’s only tangentially connected.
|
Oh no, just reported that Ted Cruz didn't report another loan, this one from Citi. Wow, no wonder banks do so well in the U.S. Senate. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Based on the fact that Ted Cruz was born in Canada and is therefore a "natural born Canadian," did he borrow unreported loans from C banks? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Ted Cruz purposely, and illegally, did not list on his personal disclosure form personally guaranteed loans from banks. They own him! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
Cruz batted away this accusation at the GOP debate, which he is roundly considered to have won.
|
Ted is the ultimate hypocrite. Says one thing for money, does another for votes. https://t.co/hxdfy0mjVw — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
Again, the Donald is just desperately grasping at straws here. Had Ted Cruz told one crowd that he was for gay marriage and another against, he might be hypocritical, but that’s not the case.
Here’s now CNN reports his response:
Cruz declined to comment on the Times report when asked by a CNN reporter during an appearance in Columbia, South Carolina on Friday. But speaking to reporters at a church not far from Charlotte on Saturday, Cruz, who once declined to attack Trump, shed any caution he may have had about laying into his top rival.
“I would note that Donald’s record does not match what he says as a candidate,” Cruz said, gamely tackling questions he routinely swatted away for seven months.
Cruz also aggressively ridiculed Trump’s obsession with the latest opinion surveys, saying that Trump’s attacks on Twitter come because he is “dismayed” about a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showing a competitive race.
“I imagine it pulled him out of bed this morning and send him tweeting and tweeting and tweeting,” he said. “I think in terms of a commander in chief, we ought to have someone who isn’t springing out of bed to tweet in a frantic response to the latest polls.”
Cruz referred repeatedly to an interview Trump did with NBC News’ Tim Russert 17 years ago, in which he defines his “New York values” as distinct from “Iowa values.” Cruz said those values — pro-abortion rights, including supporting partial birth abortion and pro-gay marriage — explained Trump’s world view. And he dredged up the former Democrat’s donation history to some of the state’s leading politicians, including Hillary Clinton.
“Given the fact that for much of his life, Donald was financially supporting those politicians — writing checks to Hillary Clinton, writing checks to Andrew Cuomo — it is a fair inference that he supports their policies,” Cruz said.
The Texas senator, then asked for some differences on national security between him and Trump, offered that was unaware of what Trump’s foreign policy is.
“To be honest, I don’t know what Donald’s position is,” Cruz said.
BOOM!!
Oddly, the full statement is a little different as the reporting above cut out a few sentences:
They’re getting fired up!!!
“Donald Trump is too thin skinned to be president. He just doesn’t have the proper temperament.”
Yeah. We need a compassionate conservative. Or maybe a lawyer. The guy can prattle on to our enemies until they fall asleep.
Ted didn’t start anything. Donald Trump started it in the only way he seems to know how to do anything which is to steamroll, distract and bluster. I get a kick out of his frownie faces. Like he is trying to scare someone! What he is really doing is trying to baffle with bull...t. He o ly has vague notions of what he would do about anything as far as running this country. He’s still trying to figure out “what’s going on”

Trump can say or do pretty much anything, and the Trump-Only Fan Club will defend him to the bitter end.
You must not have been paying attention much for the past few years. That's pure silly talk.
The loans were reported on his personal disclosure forms in the US Senate. Those are public record.
Why is it that when Cruz quotes Trumps words right back at him he’s “attacking” all of New York and insulting them, but Trump can inslut a disabled reporter... or any reporter that disagrees with him and be lauded for being un-PC.
The values expressed by New York officials are NOT the values of conservatives.
“That’s pure silly talk.”
It may be to you, but Cruz voted for TPA and the Corker bill, both Obama’s main agenda.
I will never Vote For The Sleaze Meister!!!
Who said he was slipping in Iowa You?
“He conveniently changed his position when he began running for president. What does that say about you?”
Trump has not changed as lately as Cruz, on things like TPA, illegal immigration, birth right citizenship (surely you saw that video), legalization of illegals, deportation of illegals, etc.

Wow! Ted Cruz received $487K in campaign contributions, $11M from a NY hedge fund mogul, & $1M low int. loan from Goldman Sachs. Hypocrite
Donald J. Trump â€@realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago
When will @TedCruz give all the New York based campaign contributions back to the special interests that control him.
Donald J. Trump â€@realDonaldTrump 2h2 hours ago
If Ted Cruz is so opposed to gay marriage, why did he accept money from people who espouse gay marriage?
Cruz may have had the best favorables.
That will change going forward.
Trying to hide his relationship with Goldman Sachs, one of the most hated
Wall Street companies in the country has exposed Cruz(R-Goldman Sachs), as just another
sleezy politician, no better than the rest of them.
The bloom is coming off the Rose.
“Soopermexican”?
BING!!! BANG !!! GO! GO! GO! YOWZA!!!!
This Texas vote goes to the true NBC of the US not the Canadian. Cruz is fine in his current office but I refuse to throw out the US Constitution. Born on US soil with TWO US citizen parents.
I think Cruz has the trumpster dialed in . Gonna be fun.
