Donald Trump, the billionaire businessman and GOP presidential frontrunner, has taken off the gloves in his fight with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
What was friendly jabbing in the Fox Business Channel debate has gotten nasty as Trump now directly questions Cruz's eligibility to serve as president and the $1 million loan Cruz took from Goldman Sachs to jumpstart his Senate campaign.
"Goldman Sachs owns him, he will do anything they demand. Not much of a reformer!" Trump tweeted.
"Ted Cruz purposely, and illegally, did not list on his personal disclosure form personally guaranteed loans from banks," Trump added. "They own him!"

These latest salvos come amidst news that Cruz had another undisclosed 2012 campaign loan from Citi Bank.

Looks like Cruz has been caught. Bye Bye !
It’s going to get ugly around here
It may be getting ugly...but it’s part of the vetting process. Let’s see if Cruz can talk his way out of this one.
Cruz increasingly looks bad.(I am going to vote for him if he is the Republican nominee. We have no more honest politicians as they have all gone away. We must vote for the best of the worst-the doctrine of “Relative Filth.”)
Well, nuts. I was hoping for a Trump/Cruz ticket or at least Cruz as AG.
3,2,1. Waiting for the incoming on this article calling Trump mean, a liberal and not a conservative. Trump calls them as he sees them and he’s right over target on this one. When you first see Ted, you think he’s a smart guy and a committed conservative who really gets it, but in reality it’s just ambition and a lot of posturing with smoke and mirrors.
Looks like Trump has gone full blown liberal. Who expected any less?
I sincerely wish this fight were not happening but I picked my side and I am sticking with Trump.
I want the wall.
I want an end to PC censorship.
I want to stop the army of invading muslims from raping America.
I want the shackles to be removed from the US economy.
(shrug) He just had to go there. Hard heads have to feel.
LMAO!!! ....... Trump demolishes the field for Cruz and the Freepers rejoice; but when he demolishes old “coatails Ted” they cry the blues.
Wanna bet Jeb is taking out $ millions in loans right now since his fundraising has collapsed?
No kidding!
A one million dollar loan?? Does he really have the collateral to match it?
Trump slobbers all over himself to glorify the Clinton cartel and the policies they support, yet Cruz is “owned”. Nobody could be more bought and paid for than DUnald Trump.
If taking out small personal loans against your own investment account means that you are owned by the bank for life, then Trump must be owned by hundreds of banks including many foreign banks. This attack is so ridiculous that it diminishes Trump. He will sling any mud from the sewers of the internet. He simply has no business being anywhere near the nuclear launch codes.
I will support either Cruz or Trump and was hoping for a Trump/Cruz ticket. Cruz is a smart, capable guy and will figure out a suitable counter-attack.
Looks like Cruz has been caught. Bye Bye !

You do understand that what has triggered the Trump campaign’s sudden HYPERACTIVE torrent of such tweets to the Cultists of Personality is that THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN JUST GOT A GANDER AT THE POST-DEBATE POLLING INTERNALS.
By the way, what gives with Trump preferring Eastern European women from (now) former Soviet bloc countries?
They are in a race to win, each of them.
Is it not Sen Cruz’ job to get his own house in order before he runs for POTUS? Is Trump supposed to ignore this stuff?
Do you think the desperate HRC (and more desperate as it goes on, btw) is going to ignore this stuff?
This isn’t a liberal vs conservative argument: it’s win vs lose.
Maybe Trump should have looked at the disclosure form. The loan is on there.
