Donald Trump Hailed as Hometown Hero in Staten Island
Time ^ | April 17, 2016 | Sam Frizell

When Maria Andrews’ mother came home with a load of heavy groceries and found a broken elevator at the modest brick Tysens Park Apartments on Staten Island, she wasn’t expecting to get much help from building management.

But then she saw Fred Trump pull up in an elegant black limousine. She put down her groceries and rapped on the limo’s tinted window to complain to the real estate royal who owned her building. To her surprise, the elder Trump came out and helped her carry her groceries up five flights of stairs, Andrews says today — and he stayed for coffee.

Forty years later, the daughter is voting for the son.

At a Staten Island fundraiser for the Republican Party of Richmond County on Sunday, Andrews recalls seeing Fred and Donald strolling around her childhood apartment complex, chatting with her mother.

“He was just a nice man,” Andrews says of Fred Trump. “And Donald was with him a lot. So I was a fan of them from back then.”

The term ‘Cruzlim’ did not originate from me; I picked it up from someone else on these forums sometime ago(can’t remember from whom).

But the nickname describes a zealous Ted Cruz supporter, with more than a little anti Trump in their veins. You may have noticed the name rhymes with ‘muslim’, implying all the things we know and love about muslims.

Others may have a somewhat different definition. This is mine.
