False. He never filed for bankruptcy. Nice try!

So, other people talking about Cruz being “king” means that Cruz has to do their bidding?
Trump is lionized every bit as much, but you don’t hear any of his supporters disavowing that talk.
It seems to me that the GOPe guys have been forced to come to Cruz--specifically in the hopes of blocking Trump. (Remember L. Graham's weirdly reluctant endorsement?) Cruz is smart enough not to refuse their help even if Trumpsters will try to trash him again for using the Party's help.
Besides, the GOPe guys have been hoping that Kasich will block Trump AND Cruz.
I didn’t insult Palin. I’ve been a big fan of Palin. I was just leaving an absurd comment in response to the absurd comment at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3420186/posts?page=8#8
OK, so Cruz got this really cute staffer to agree to have coffee with him, then ... who knows?
Oh, she was blind and had a guide dog.
So they’re standing on a corner waiting for the light to change and her dog, a big German Shepherd, starts getting really antsy—whining, sitting down, standing back up.
Cars are whizzing by on Pennsylvania Avenue. Ted looks wistfully over in the direction of the White House.
As usual Ted’s sweating bullets in his Communist bloc suit, circa 1953.
Suddenly the dog lurches forward, dragging the hot blind chick with him into heavy traffic! A guy on his lunch break in a security guard costume acts instantly and grabs her sexy collar, pulling her back onto the sidewalk along with the Shepherd in his harness, and the dog falls on top of them.
Ted’s really flibber-gibbeted by all of this, and had taken a few steps back to safety but watches as she dusts herself off ... then she reaches into her purse and pulls out a big Milkbone.
She waves it around. Ted steps forward and says in his inimitably screechy manner. “Hold everything. Wait a second. Is your dogs’s name Donald?
“What are you doing waving a Milkbone around? You’re going to give that dog a Milkbone? That dog almost killed you and all of your sexy, blind hotness!”
And she grunted back, “I’m trying to find his face, Nimrod, so I can kick his ***.”
And Ted replied, “That’s so hot.”
What does that even mean?
Ted Cruz: Destroying Separation of Church & State
Are you saying that you believe the leftist lie of "separation of church & state" which is been roundly disavowed and rejected on this site?
Done with the character assassination phase.
Meanwhile Cruz is cracking up and going crazy. His Hannity interview he just did was batty. Cruz is a nut.
How many jobs has Donald Trump actually created?
A CNNMoney analysis calculates at least 34,000 jobs attributable to the Donald.
It’s not the most straightforward calculation. His company, The Trump Organization, is private, so it does not have to disclose information publicly about how much money it makes or how many people it employs. His campaign didn’t give a specific figure either.
CNNMoney turned to PrivCo, which researches and tracks privately-held companies.
According to PrivCo, the Trump Organization has 22,450 employees and brought in $9.5 billion in annual revenue last year.
But that’s not the whole picture. There are likely other jobs that might not exist without Trump. Economists call this the “multiplier effect.”
New York’s Broadway shows are a good example. Visitors who come to see shows, may stay at least a night or two at New York City hotels and spend money at restaurants and stores. So any analysis on the economic and job impact of Broadway takes into account more than just ticket sales and employment of actors, singers and stage hands.
The same holds true for Trump’s resorts and hotels.
Consider Ricardo Ara, the 24-year-old who works in the Koi Soho restaurant in the Trump SoHo Hotel. His story made news last month because Ara is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who has the right to work at the restaurant in Trump’s hotel because of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program Trump wants to end.
Ara is technically employed by the restaurant, not the Trump Organization, but his job probably wouldn’t exist if the hotel weren’t there.
The state of New York says that “leisure and hospitality” companies like Trump’s typically have a 1.5 multiplier effect.
Using that multiplier, the Trump Organization is responsible for about 34,000 jobs.
This is a rough estimate. There are arguments to be made that it should be higher or lower.
Trump has acquired some existing properties, so one could argue he didn’t create those jobs. He has also filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy four times for some of his properties, mostly in Atlantic City.
The hotels were still able to operate in bankruptcy, but Trump Plaza in Atlantic City did close in 2014, costing about 1,000 jobs. By that time, Trump was no longer running the company, although he retained a small stake in it.
On the plus side for Trump, his name appears on many businesses he doesn’t fully own, and he’s been part of a successful television franchise with “The Apprentice” on NBC. It’s possible to argue that he should get credit for some jobs in those ventures as well, even if they weren’t part of the Trump Organization.
A more generous estimate would be to view the Trump Organization as a financial services or management company. Then the employment multiplier would be 3. That would bring jobs attributable to Trump to 67,000.

I wouldn’t waste the time...
In the new FR, any and all comments such as that are excused in the name of “passion”...
With the illusion that after the primaries, all of FR is just going to hug and kiss and make up like nothing was ever said....uh uh, yep.
Cruz was asked if we can unite and put the vitriol behind us. He says yes then says we are uniting the party by beating Donald Trump. Good Grief. Heccertainly has Trump up his butt. He accused Trump of intimidating the state of Colorado.

It was very similar around here when Romney was running 4 years ago. Romney was “it” in some Freepers minds (he was the “one who could win”). But the crassness has reached a whole new level this year.
Going after a 91 year old conservative icon who has been in the fight forever.
Thoroughly disgusting and no excuse for it at all.

It really is about as low as it gets. If they didn’t like the what she was doing, they could have left. No one would have ever heard of Eagle Forum without Phyllis Schlafly.
Throwing a 91 year old woman under the bus is about as disgusting as it gets.
