Cruz Likens Trump Loyalty Oath to Pledging to a King by VAUGHN HILLYARD
KANNAPOLIS, N.C. -- Ted Cruz equated Donald Trump's loyalty pledge to subjects declaring their devotion to a king on Tuesday.
"The idea that a candidate running for office would want people to pledge loyalty to him like subjects to a king," Cruz began telling reporters. "Well, we've had seven years of a president who thinks he's an emperor."
Cruz continued: "I raise my hand and I give an oath to you, to the people. That's who's working for whom."
The pledge, which Trump has used at recent rallies, requires his supporters to raise their hands and pledge loyalty to his presidential campaign. It has drawn comparisons to rallies during Nazi Germany, a connection Trump called "ridiculous" during an interview on TODAY.
Cruz repeated his sentiments at a later event in Kannapolis, North Carolina, telling the crowd that Trump's calls for loyalty struck him "as profoundly wrong."
Trump's efforts to lock down support coincides with a surge from Cruz, who has now beaten Trump in seven states and hopes to further cut down Trump's delegate lead over the critical week ahead.

Cruz is so full of sh**. Trump said he was joking about this - watch the rally video. God, this man is going over the edge.
We can explain it as easy as you can explain Trump getting them.
We don’t know whether she became a U.K. citizen, a Canadian citizen, or not. We don’t know when or whether a CRBA was filed. All we have been shown is his and his mother’s BC. All we have been fed are assertions.
I think he’d be just as happy to have the Cruz devotees, if only they didn’t require treatment for pervasive TDS.
So sayeth a Cruzombie. LOL
Trumpzombie projecting much?
“He shouts and preaches that he is a ‘constitutional conservative’...but so what? What is he going to DO?”
That is the heart of the problem. I can call myself a constitutional conservative and never actually accomplish anything. Amazing how that is enough for some people.
What Trump says he meant to say is irrelevant. Maybe he should have the NT Times editorial Board release the tapes of the two-faced con man. He talks deportation to his devotees and then tell the Ny Times that his plan is malleable and open to compromise. What a snake oil salesman.
I will take the Trump Patron. I suspect it’s price is going up 35% soon. Might as well enjoy it while it is cheap.
(Like your values)
Funny, he had no problem with the GOP insisting on a loyalty pledge...
Brutal? Not really.
Bingo.. direct hit.
..Although Cruz narrow-casts his message. It resonates with his little niche that keeps him in the race.
Jealousy does not suit you. The pollsters are dumb. They got it wrong not trump. Trump wins the night and the nomination tonight. Next week Cruz will have another miserable night. It’s over.
Now that's just unfair and insulting..... to snake oil salesmen everywhere. Trump is just an olde-fashioned, traditional lying leftist. That's all.
At least Trump wasn’t sworn in by Stabby McStabber
I certainly didn’t expect trump to win Hawaii. But if he does I’d be thrilled. Good news is trump doesn’t have to and still be successful.
“Constitutional conservatives” are all for TPP/TPA
Look, how do I prove I didn’t become a British citizen when I lived in London? Show you my official I didn’t become a British citizen while I lived in the UK certificate? Your logic is whacked!
Well he could start by providing information and documentation. A CRBA would be a good place to start.
