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.

Government itself, unfortunately, has become its own mafia and is certainly in league with big-city mafia bosses. The internationalist mafia (Bush, Rubio, and maybe even Cruz, given his recent utterings) the Arkansas mafia (Clinton), the Chicago mafia (Obama). Thus, I would not be shocked to find the New York mafia behind Trump. But if it proves true, it is disappointing, but not disqualifying, given our other choices this election. Probably the only non-mafia guys on the stage are Ben Carson and perhaps Bernie Sanders. Without an organization behind you, a politician has a near zero chance of prevailing.

I can see why Cruz wants to abolish the IRS now.

I binged watched the Sopranos last year, so I would love to see someone play the theme when he comes on-stage just to screw with the media.

Like I’ve said....Cruz is close to the “defamation” line. This looks like it crosses the line.

Cruz is proving to not be the man I thought he was. He’s standing on my last nerve right now while support for him is circling the drain.

“(11a).....”Vinny the Vise”, $25,000 for kneecapings ??”

Thanks for a good laugh. Trump can nail his ass Thursday over that.

Of course, Cruz can apologize Wednesday morning after the sought after damage to Trump’s reputation has played out.

I’m perplexed how Cruz uses the IRS to attack Trump...,who we all know targets conservatives groups, veteran organizations, the Tea party, etc..., and then has the AUDACITY to say this?

This is coming from the same guy that NEVER MENTIONS the fact he and wife worked for W Bush Whitehouse..... Even Jeb NEVER mentioned it!

This Cruz guy STINKS!!!

He’s a TOTAL TROJAN HORSE BUSH PLANT to siphon conservative votes.

Remember this is THE SAME GUY that pushed Justice John Roberts another Trojan Horse from the Bushs.

Come on Cruz supporters. He even uses the fake Glen Beck. That should have been you red flag.

I was a Fiorina supporter.

... until she started “explaining”.

I was a Carson supporter.

... until he started talking.

I was a Ted Cruz supporter.

... until he started running.

This whole season is a freaking clown car.

Pathetic lying. Ted and Cabana Boy are indistinguishable from Democrats at this point.

It was never operative.

Just as sad when he cozies up to Rube. Sarah P. had best think twice before endorsing another. This is preposterous!!

If The Don be the Godfather - he would certainly, in appearance, be better looking than the prior Godfather now in office. And he wears trousers, not sheets.
