What is the saying? All hat and no cattle?

Yep....that is the saying. My grandfather, who rode "real" cattle drives and spent the earlier part of his life on ranches, used this saying quite often. Made me laugh then.....makes me laugh now.

So pointing out all the contributions Trump made to democrats makes Cruz a liar?

What it actually shows is that Trump will do anything - including supporting democrats - to make money for himself.

That’s not the kind of person I want leading America.

But none.... not one so far...addressing the issues raised about Trump’s past positions, except for saying people can change

I'll one very good one. Those donations were made when the Dems had FULL control of BOTH the House and Senate.

If you're a "PLAYER" in the game you grease the wheels, prime the pump, of those in power, so when you need legislation passed you have a VERY favorable chance of getting what you want.

Isn't that what everyone is crying about. The system is out of control and beholding to "special interests."

Trump is no different than a FORMER member of the mafia turning states evidence to preserve his own situation.

He's JOINED the other side to dismantle something he KNOWS directly is NOT good for America.

I do not know the process one goes through but here are links to a couple of articles that state when they do FOIA requests on Cruz’s citizenship records they get an access denied request which apparently happens when records are sealed.

http://northamericanlawcenter.org/ted-cruz-is-in-the-u-s-senate-illegally/#.Vs6PPHBDTnqD
“At present, all FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests filed in search of any U.S. citizenship documents to confirm the true official U.S. citizenship status of Ted Cruz have been denied access. All citizenship records for Ted Cruz are sealed unless and until Ted Cruz agrees to allow any such records to be released by either U.S. or Canadian agencies.”

https://themarshallreport.wordpress.com/2016/01/07/mr-cruz-can-you-please-explain/
“But most importantly, why did you have your citizenship records sealed? At present, all FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests filed in search of any U.S. citizenship documents to confirm the true official U.S. citizenship status of you, Mr. Ted Cruz have been denied access. All citizenship records of yours are sealed unless and until you agree to allow any such records to be released by either U.S. or Canadian agencies. “

Time for Trump to man up and sue.

Prove he is not just an empty suit NYC Gas Bag.

If Trump does not sue, he is just a whiny little girl.

A crony capitalist who’s business model is licensing his own name to sell cologne, tea, and other worthless products while having his name all over business disasters like Trump Shuttle, Trump Magazine, Trump Mortgage, and others has no business in the White House or choosing a critical Supreme Court nominee to replace the late Justice Scalia. He disqualified himself when he happily praised his sister and thought she would be “phenomenal” on the Supreme Court but luckily for him his political consultants ran down two names on Google of Judges appointed by Bush without any careful examination so the little Trumpkins can say, “He’s got two names!” There’s no one more qualified, trustworthy or conservative than Ted Cruz who could find a justice with right temperament and judicial philosophy.

Nice list. You can add in that Trump is the only Republican who supports Obama normalizing relations with Cuba. Perhaps he wants to build some sweet new casinos there.

Also, he said he’s okay with the NSA listening in on phone calls.

I know my conscience will be clear.

The Republic occasionally needs a Thomas Jefferson, who will speak for liberty and who understand the limits that must be placed on government in order to protect it.

But occasionally the Republic needs a George Washington to win the war.

That is why I, in good conscience, support Donald Trump.

...."pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"...

Same was said of Obama....looks like Freepers have fallen now for the Trump Oz......human nature doesn't change...it can be manipulated by those with the tactics they've developed to do just that......they have learned nothing.

Trump April 2014, from your link:

At a At a Republican event at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida, Trump called Cruz a "very special guy."

"One of the reasons I like Ted Cruz so much, is that he's not controversial," he said at the Palm Beach County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner in February, drawing laughs from the crowd.

"He shouldn't be controversial because what he is doing is right. He took a stand recently, that if he had just a little backing -- and Ted and I have spoken about this -- from other Republicans ... he would have negotiated one hell of a deal. It might not have ended ObamaCare, but you would have really gotten a big chunk out of it," Trump added, speaking about last year's government shutdown fight. "I mean, [Republicans] they hit him harder than they hit the Democrats."

In the speech, Trump said that in addition to Cruz's 21-hour speech on the Senate floor rallying against the Affordable Care Act, he had seen the Texas senator speak on "numerous occasions."

A media report from November cited an unnamed Cruz spokeswoman calling the two men "friends" who had spoken many times on the phone since meeting last year, and said Cruz visited Trump Tower during a trip to New York.

"Mr. Trump is a friend and the senator had some down time in NYC," a Cruz spokeswoman told Politico.

Members of the Cruz camp did not respond to a request from The Hill for comment about the Trump donation. Michael Cohen, an executive vice president and special counsel to Trump, said it was too early to question whether "The Apprentice" host was considering backing Cruz or anyone else for president.

Had you actually followed the source of this to "The Birther Report", you would see that 116 pages of documents related to the FOIA request were returned: For 20 months ending in February 2003, Cruz served as Director of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, DC. After The Post & Email submitted a FOIA request to the FTC for documents Cruz had signed, agency attorney Anna Murray directed us to 116 pages of documents released in response to a similar request made by a private individual last November. In the documents, Cruz identified himself as “R. Ted Cruz” or “Ted Cruz.” Read more at http://www.birtherreport.com/2015/04/revealed-request-for-senator-ted-cruzs.html#gJvJxi9xebu4Gtqj.99 Show me some proof, ANY proof, that Cruz has deliberately sealed ANY documentation, or stop this nonsense you've been posting over and over. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Yes. Each of us has our own opinion and choice for whom we are going to vote, but the sometimes irrational obsession displayed here by some is incredible.

Also, Trump is funding his own campaign. He won’t be beholden to Goldman Sachs or any super pac .
