Sen. Ted Cruz speculated Sunday that Republican presidential rival Donald Trump might be delaying the release of his tax returns because of possible ties with the mob.
"Maybe it is the case that Donald, there have been multiple media reports about Donald's business dealings with the mob, with the mafia," Cruz said on "Meet the Press."
"Maybe his taxes show those business dealings are a lot more extensive than has been reported," he added.
Cruz repeated the suggestion on ABC's "This Week," seemingly stunning host George Stephanopoulos.
"Business dealings with the mafia?" Stephanopoulos asked, incredulously.

So now “Principled Conservatism” includes accusing your opponent of tax fraud and mafia connections without a shred of evidence?
And Cruzies accuse Trump of destroying conservatism? Ha!
Senator Cruzman Sachs is putting back social conservatism a generation with his flim flammery.
Rush will not explain anything. He is to busy being tech support for Apple.Rush has lost his usefulness when it comes to winning. I think the guy is getting old,really old. Rush started this revolution and now he doesn’t have the guts to finish it and win. He has become fat dumb and happy playing the tech.
It’s important that Trump doesn’t try to stay about it all here and stays as dirty as ever. Insinuate things of Cruz and Rubio, keep at it, don’t let your foot of their throats until you have the number of delegates you need because they are going to try everything to destroy him
Wow what’s next?? Trump murdered his ex-wives? What a slime. I saw an older interview of Trump by David Letterman. Trump had been in the news for decades. Letterman makes the observation the Trump has never been in any kind of real legal problems with his businesses or criminal with himself. A good observation. Shows me that Trump runs his businesses in a legal and ethical way. He’s careful to stay on the right side of the law.
Hi RR,
A lot of people commenting on Cruz, but no one examine the facts. The Federalist did a story on this last July. It has never been refuted, or questioned.

P.S. I think it’s funny that posters belittle Cruz for thinking mob ties would be so transparent on a tax return. His business dealings, with large sums of unexplained cash transfers, and with spurious “partners” would be reflected. Let the sun shine on it if it isn’t true.
Bubba pulled this Mafia sh** on Cuomo in ‘92. That’s probably where the idea came from. If you don’t think Hillary people have infiltrated the Republican party, you’re kidding yourself.
“May God give America His richest blessings”
God frowns on bearing False Witness.
He does like to filibuster things.
Crux is an unadulterated POS.

Hilarious Cruz give trump a very small taste of the medicine trump has been dishing out for months.
Trumpanzees are whining like a bunch of pussies.
Bottom line, Cruz supporters are as dumb as Cruz.
This is man is creepy, liar, nasty , no one likes him.
You nailed it....the slimeball/s a rank opportunist.
Musta been saving the mob charge for months....all the while he was kissing up to Trump.
Trump was onto him: Early on Trump/s guys had to swat Cruz down ...told him to back off. Seems he was stealing Trump/s slogans. Kept saying HE was gonna make America great again.
Betcha the Trump campaign has p-l-e-n-t-y on Cruz.
“In August of 2013, the struggling Trump Taj Mahal casino became the first casino in Atlantic City, N.J., to have an in-house strip club. Trump no longer operates that casino himself, but 2014 bankruptcy filings reported by The Wall Street Journal showed he held a 5 percent stake in the stock of the company that manages it, Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc.”
I know, small potatoes (everything is small with Saint Trump for true believers). But let’s dig a little futrther:
[In The Art of the Deal, Trump boasted about bedding other men’s wives.
“If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller,” he wrote. ]
In other words Trump is a ‘player’. Do you think all those models he’s had around were just orphans, or hookers for his hotels? Because Donald was a choir boy.
Cruz pulling a Harry Reid maneuver.
Why am I not shocked.
Do I care if Trump has mob connections? You can't build buildings in New York or casinos without mob connections! If you have your trash picked up by a waste disposal company every few days, YOU ALSO HAVE MOB CONNECTIONS. LOL
Cruz is showing that he is just another DC cartel member.
Donald Trump Approved for State Gaming License (Nevada)Developer Donald Trump was approved Thursday by state regulators to hold a stake in the Riviera hotel-casino - but said the Las Vegas Strip resort is a foot-in-the-door licensing opportunity and doesn't figure in his future Nevada plans.
Following the state Gaming Commission's unanimous vote, Trump also said his plans don't include further Indian gambling ventures in California - for now. He said he wants to build a high-end condominium tower in Las Vegas, which may or may not have gambling, and is thinking about other possible deals in both southern and northern Nevada.
"Stay tuned," Trump said after the meeting when pressed by reporters for details. He said he could buy an existing property or build a new one, adding, "When we see the right deal in this state, we'll do it."
The Gaming Commission approved Trump and companies that he controls as part of a registration and suitability-finding process that would speed up any actual casino licensing in the future.
Repeating his Feb. 4 comments to the commission's investigative arm, the Gaming Control Board, Trump said "it's an honor to be here." He said he had lost many deals in previous years because of a state licensing process that can take more than a year.
Now you take from that story I just made up, there are parts of truth in there, but there are also lies, and that is what Cruz, Rubio, and everyone else is trying to do to Trump...
I don't people can tell the complete truth if their lives depended on it, we have been so dumbed down, we will believe anything!!!
BS, in politics candidates calling each other names, or a liar, is standard fair,accusing someone of committing, ‘Tax Fraud’, a felony, is slimey beyond the pale.
