El Trumpo is having a full blown freak out on Twitter against Ted Cruz:
|
Ted Cruz was born in Canada and was a Canadian citizen until 15 months ago. Lawsuits have just been filed with more to follow. I told you so — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Ted Cruz said he "didn't know" that he was a Canadian Citizen. He also FORGOT to file his Goldman Sachs Million $ loan papers.Not believable — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Was there another loan that Ted Cruz FORGOT to file. Goldman Sachs owns him, he will do anything they demand. Not much of a reformer! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
The Ted Cruz wiseguy apology to the people of New York is a disgrace. Remember, his wife's employer, and his lender, is located there! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
How is this any different from people pointing out two of his wives were immigrants? It’s only tangentially connected.
|
Oh no, just reported that Ted Cruz didn't report another loan, this one from Citi. Wow, no wonder banks do so well in the U.S. Senate. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Based on the fact that Ted Cruz was born in Canada and is therefore a "natural born Canadian," did he borrow unreported loans from C banks? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
|
Ted Cruz purposely, and illegally, did not list on his personal disclosure form personally guaranteed loans from banks. They own him! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
Cruz batted away this accusation at the GOP debate, which he is roundly considered to have won.
|
Ted is the ultimate hypocrite. Says one thing for money, does another for votes. https://t.co/hxdfy0mjVw — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016 |
Again, the Donald is just desperately grasping at straws here. Had Ted Cruz told one crowd that he was for gay marriage and another against, he might be hypocritical, but that’s not the case.
Here’s now CNN reports his response:
Cruz declined to comment on the Times report when asked by a CNN reporter during an appearance in Columbia, South Carolina on Friday. But speaking to reporters at a church not far from Charlotte on Saturday, Cruz, who once declined to attack Trump, shed any caution he may have had about laying into his top rival.
“I would note that Donald’s record does not match what he says as a candidate,” Cruz said, gamely tackling questions he routinely swatted away for seven months.
Cruz also aggressively ridiculed Trump’s obsession with the latest opinion surveys, saying that Trump’s attacks on Twitter come because he is “dismayed” about a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showing a competitive race.
“I imagine it pulled him out of bed this morning and send him tweeting and tweeting and tweeting,” he said. “I think in terms of a commander in chief, we ought to have someone who isn’t springing out of bed to tweet in a frantic response to the latest polls.”
Cruz referred repeatedly to an interview Trump did with NBC News’ Tim Russert 17 years ago, in which he defines his “New York values” as distinct from “Iowa values.” Cruz said those values — pro-abortion rights, including supporting partial birth abortion and pro-gay marriage — explained Trump’s world view. And he dredged up the former Democrat’s donation history to some of the state’s leading politicians, including Hillary Clinton.
“Given the fact that for much of his life, Donald was financially supporting those politicians — writing checks to Hillary Clinton, writing checks to Andrew Cuomo — it is a fair inference that he supports their policies,” Cruz said.
The Texas senator, then asked for some differences on national security between him and Trump, offered that was unaware of what Trump’s foreign policy is.
“To be honest, I don’t know what Donald’s position is,” Cruz said.
BOOM!!
Oddly, the full statement is a little different as the reporting above cut out a few sentences:
They’re getting fired up!!!
LOL That’s all Ted has got? I’m surprised he had any time when he is not kissing Goldman Sachs ass..since they are his boss
If Trump is the nominee I’d hate to see what he’s going to do to Hitlery if he is this hard on Cruz. Actually I wouldn’t hate it, I’d LOVE it!
Trump is having the time of his life...you want to know New York Values....your seeing them....these people don’t take crap, they dish it out...
LIVE BY THE LAWS AMERICA WAS FOUNDED UPON
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
Let the games begin.
It seems Mr. Cruz has some big league issues surfacing.
If I were him, I get them straightened out prior to running for president.
Love his tweets!
FULL INTERVIEW OF THE PROGRESSIVE TRUMP DEFINING HIS NEW YORK VALUES & SAYING THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM IOWA VALUES.

I wish I could give you a big *LIKE* for your post!
Ted Sachs should drop out and go on the comedy circuit. Ted jokes about his failings instead of owning up to them. He is embarrassed for getting caught on his Goldman Sachs and Citi loans.
And Ted is the one dropping in the polls. Especially post debate polls. I am not sure what the “BOOM” is for. The Cruz campaign imploding?
Hillary, or Sanders, or Biden, or Warren ... any of them. I think the DEMs might do a “late switch”, the “Toricelli-swap” move. But whever is in the corsshairs before then is going to get it, I think even if Trump isn’t the nominee!
No boom, more like shuck and jive.
Why is borrowing money from Goldman Sachs any different from borrowing money from banks for real estate projects?
Assumedly Ted is making payments as required. What’s the problem?
They go “BOOM” when they break.
He is really going to go spastic if he loses Iowa. At least if he does the rest of his supporters will see his true character.
No he isn't. Those loans, which were not fully disclosed and were obscured from public knowledge, tear to shreds the narrative of his being a grass roots campaign, only supplemented by true conservatives who wouldn't want to influence him. Add to that Senator Cruz insulted New Yorkers, that after being given warm welcomes by New York. Those insults might really have upset Trump.
Cruz has to put his arms around it, own it. The loans are a deal breaker. They shred the narrative and put into question his honesty and judgement.
Perhaps it was another intern tweeting for him..
