Ted Cruz announced on Sunday the endorsements of six state representatives who had previously supported Rand Paul.

At least one representative was surprised to see his name.

The representative, J.R. Hoell, had met with Mr. Cruz, senator from Texas, on Friday, he said. "I made it clear I could not support him," Mr. Hoell said in a phone interview on Sunday evening

No, Trump's father NEVER bequeathed him $200 Million!

When Trump's father died, his estate was worth $250 Million, which was dived amongst his wife and THREE of his FOUR children!

When Trump wanted to start out on his own, in Manhattan, his father loaned him ONE MILLION DOLLARS. That's it and from that, he amassed the fortune he now has.

OTOH, Teddy has made some slick deals, with an old pal, in real estate in the Caribbean, which he...oopppppsssssssie... forgot to tell the FEC about....again.

If you have evidence, give the FEC a call, I’m sure they’re all ears.

I prefer Trump a bit more than Cruz, but either will do. But Cruz does a lot of sleazy stuff that I don’t think you should just dismiss.

They have it and ARE investigating it! Where do you imagine I got the info from? It was an article in a newspaper, the N.Y. Post...talking about this new investigation.

And just WHAT did Nixon do?

And IF you say WATERGATE, then you're just lying or never knew the facts of that case at all.

I worked for Al Haig, so forget about lecturing me on Watergate. If you don’t know who that was, look him up.

Oh....so you freely admit that Cruz and his team do DIRTY TRICKS and YOU are very PROUD of that fact.

Thank you SO very much for admitting that you are a SLEAZEBALL and are just fine with voter fraud.

Campaigning vigorously doesn't even come close to voter fraud.

Oh I know very well who that was.

I am NOT at all "impressed". Go try to impress someone else, who is very easily taken in by your innuendos and inferences.

Then why is nothing being done about it? For all the talk there's no action being contemplated. It's a nothingburger, despite your squawking.

And just HOW do you know that "nothing is being done about it"? You didn't even know ANYTHING AT ALL about this!

They've just begun the investigation!

I can't help it if you are incapable of keeping up with the FACTUAL news.

That’s okay, we welcome apostates into the fold. See the prodigal son story. It’s never too late to redeem yourself. Your generous donation will amount to your penance.

Trump is just a trust fund baby who never demonstrated he could succeed on his own.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/26/opinions/dantonio-trump-small-loan-from-father/

Privileged to have a name that opened doors at banks and insurance companies and New York City Hall, Trump also benefited from financial assistance that was worth many times more than $1 million. He and his businesses have also enjoyed public help in the form of tax breaks, loans from his siblings, and protection from bankruptcy courts worth well in excess of $100 million. However it was his father who made sure Donald got a big head start in life.

When Donald made his first big deal, to replace the decrepit Commodore Hotel at Grand Central Terminal with a sparkling Hyatt, he depended on his father’s good name and his credit with lenders, which was worth tens of millions of dollars, according to Wayne Barrett’s 1992 book, “Trump, The Deals and the Downfall.”

According to Barrett’s book, Donald could not get the money on his own, so Fred guaranteed half the $70 million cost of the project and Hyatt guaranteed the other.

Donald’s application got lots of attention from city officials, who eventually gave him a $40 million reduction. Without this gift from his father’s friends, Donald’s first project would never have been started.

Keep repeating that blasphemy, I’m sure it’s helping your favorite candidate with the people here, especially the devout.

Hahahahahahahahahahaaaaa! Do you actually read what you post? Devout? What kind of devout person sinks to dirty tricks and lies? He 's just another sleazy lawyer, who claims to be a great Christian. God will decide that, but I don't think he is all that!! It's so easy to see a charlatan and lying politician.

When dos he do his day job as a Senator?

It's a serious campaign violation. The worse the dirty tricks pile gets, the less likely Cruz is to dig out from under it. What happened is Cruz's team was calling folks asking for support. It makes one wonder how many of these folks signed anything saying they are actually enthusiastic Cruz supporters who wanted their names included.

It's a low rent tactic used in local elections, often backfiring.

In 1988 Bush used that ad about the convict Dukakis released. Landslide.
