I saw the same thing on MSNBC...for Ted Cruz to say on national television to suggest that Donald Trump more in likely committed tax fraud because he is being audited is an underhanded lawyer tactic. I have always been upfront about being a Trump supporter. As for his taxes, I imagine that he has teams of accountants and lawyers preparing his taxes taking advantage of very loophole available. Thusly, Trump’s taxes get red flagged for auditing. That and the fact that he is a “Billionaire”
I thought Trump gave a great stalling answer regarding taxes. Its a ginned up issue. Quite frankly I think he needs to being a forklift with ten thousand unbound pages of ten years worth of taxes and hit a bump and dump them in the middle of the room. Give the press 15 minutes to look at the taxes and say that’s it.
Anyway, Ted Cruz just blew up his campaign with this very sleazy false and perhaps libelous indictment of Trump by suggesting Trump has committed Tax Fraud. Not different between Cruz and Harry Reid.
Comes across as Jealousy on Cruz’s part. Cruz really believed he would win and is jealous that Trump is winning. And he would rather have Rubio win over Trump.
That says it all. Cruz is not conservative and is establishment if that is the case.
Sorry.
We better find Laz and get to the bottom of this! :p
I think you might need a meeting. Put down the jug for crying out loud!
Statements of facts about Trump. He’s never had a good debate but he surpassed himself in badness this time.
Yep. Just saw the poll data -
Trump 64%
Pope 15%
Trump trumps even the Pope! Who else can they drag out to try to take him on after the Pope, Romney, Rush, Beck, Kelly, et al have failed?
“Ted Cruz is by far the most Presidential on the stage.”
It’s probably because of the double chin, whiny nasally chick voice and grandpa munster looks. Too bad he will drop out in a couple of weeks...or sooner. Potentially move back to Canada in disgrace.
I don’t know her opinion. I’m simply saying that just because her Nick is Black Female Army Captain doesn’t mean she is one...or is even a she. In fact the way BFAC repeats the name constantly, I think it likely that they are not.
Agreed. There is no doubt that Cruz will support Rubio over Trump.
Cruz ego must really be hurt and he really thought he could win. But now, he hates Trump more than Rubio.
So Cruz said he’d endorse Rubio over Trump in the follow up CNN interview? I missed that. LOL.
Trump is a train full of dynamite headed right for the GOPe.
Trump supporters understand that the cabal in D.C. has to be dynamited. He said it himself tonight. He is changing the Republican Party. He is adding voters and still retaining the conservatives. It’s time. Sometimes you have to clean out the old stuff before you can rebuild. Trump is our dynamite.
Maybe... maybe Romney saying what he did has something behind it? I mean, you don’t really know do you? I understand your a trumpster and you don’t like him being attacked etc. But at the end of the day... you don’t know for a fact, or really even a little bit what may or may not be true about Trumpy’s tax returns. For all you or I know, someone in the IRS said something to the RNC establishment that Romney has run with. Or maybe Romney is just on a fishing expedition. But we don’t know. So, me, I’m careful about making blanket statements about things that I don’t know anything about. But, that’s me.
Thanks for the explanation. I really don’t see how this excuses her behavior. I was certainly blindsided by it.
Did Trump say he would build a wall?
Wow.
When did he say that?
Will he use illegal labor as he’s done in his other building projects.
After just about every debate and primary election. Hasn't worked yet.
Yes...Cruz is GOPe...LOLOLOL. All of his rants against the establishment were all a ruse...lolol...
Just know that if you vote for Trump you are voting for a DEMOCRAT. TRUMP IS A DEMOCRAT! Prove me wrong.....
‘I’ll vote for the republican nominee ... unless it’s Trump. I won’t vote for him. I’ll stay home if it’s him. So I guess you could say I would vote for Rubio before I would vote for Trump....’
Enjoy your Tijuana America.
Well, I’m not embarrassed at all. Do you thinkCruz wrote every word of his own book? If you do, then you are delusional. All of them have ghost writers. I guess that’s a fact you don’t grasp. But, they have to read them and edit as they go along. Trump will do just fine without you, and so will the rest of America.
If Cruz drops out and supports Rubio and Mark Levin continues to bash Trump and support Cruz, it will show that those in the media, whether politicians or reporters are just plain jealous that Trump is so well liked by average Americans.
If Cruz supports Rubio over Trump and Levin is okay with it, it will truly expose the personal pettiness of many people who are basically jealous of Trumps like ability and popularity which is similar to what Reagan had.
Cruz saying he’d back Rubio over Trump spoke volumes.
When did he say that? Makes sense with FReeper Cruz supporters threatening to jump ship to Rubio. They really aren’t much different, IMO. Both climbing careerists looking for the next step on the ladder.
