Cruz Questions Trump's Ties to Mob-Linked
ABC ^ | Feb 28 2016 | ABC

Posted on 02/28/2016 9:21:33 PM PST by WilliamIII

Republican Presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz questioned Sunday whether Donald Trump’s business ties to a twice-convicted felon with prior mafia associations, described late last year in an ABC News investigation, could eventually undermine Trump’s chances in a general election contest.

“The important point is, George, in the general election, Hillary Clinton is going to shine a light on all of this,” said Cruz, speaking on "This Week With George Stephanopoulos". “And Republican primary voters deserve to know.”

While wearing the tinfoil hat given to him by Glenn Beck, Cruz said that Trump’s taxes include evidence of mob connections. What a douche. Since Glenn Beck now calls anyone who disagrees with him a “racist” or “Nazi” I suspect Cruz will start doing that too. Hopefully, Cruz will be effectively out of the race starting Wednesday, and no one will pay any more attention to the traveling Beck-Cruz blowhard show.

Stay classy, Ted. Stay classy.

I dare Hillary to go there. Trump will unleash absolute Hell on her.

Right..

Trump has taken NO money from even his best friends in the business world that offered him $10 M. up to 25 M.

So typical professional politician speak...THEY LIE AND TELL FAIRY TALES...

Cruz will probably win Texas, but that will be his limit...and he will have to share probably half of the delegate count with Trump, so not really a WIN maybe we need to call it a TIE...YA THINK TED???

Cruz was one of my favorites. But since he aligned with the fruitcake Beck he’s really gone downhill.

I guess you’ve not seen the long history of documented evidence to tie to the Russian mafia? You wonder why he is chummy with Putin? Think the rest of the story won’t come up when he is one on one with Hillary? How naive of you.

Do your homework prior to making comments about Cruz. I understand when Trump is attacked (and this time valid) that may be difficult for some

The GOPe candidates have been given strict orders by the Central Bankers to knock Trump out of the race. They are failing and are getting desperate.

Trump’s going to eat Hillary all up like a spun glass troll doll with cotton candy hair.
I cannot wait to see him belching and smackng his lips afterwards, like Smaug the Magnificent after dining on a fat dwarf pony.

Senator Cruz better wake up. There are two anti-establishment candidates. Cruz better decide which side he’s on, because tearing down Trump at this point is only going to help the GOPe.

Good point. Trump isn’t as snow-white as Jimmy Carter.

Yeah, building a hotel in Moscow is “documented evidence” just like in NYC.

I’m more concerned with Ted’s ties to Ryan, Boehner, McConnel and the Bush family than someone having to buy concrete in mob controlled cities.

It's not the nature of the evidence, it's the seriousness of the charge. So we have both cruz and rubio out there working together with accusations of Trump being a raciest and connected to the mob. They both know they have no shot at winning against Trump, but agreed to do as much damage to Trump as they can on their way out. But they, and their GOPe handlers, don't understand that it is not going to work this time. Trump will not shy away from the fight, he will win.
