Ted Cruz stuck in elevator, blames Donald Trump
Earlier this week, Cruz insulted Trump and his “New York values” – a dig that infuriated local politicians and inspired Daily News to declare “Drop Dead, Ted” on its Friday front page.
Many Cruz supporters booed.
Trump declared Saturday morning that Cruz was a “natural-born Canadian”.
Cruz’s personal attacks created a reason for Cuomo and de Blasio, who have publicly feuded over a myriad of issues in the state, to join together.
“What Ted Cruz said was outrageous, it was disgusting, it was hypocritical”, King said Friday on CNN.
“He didn’t report his bank loans”, Trump told delegates to the South Carolina Tea Party Convention.
In addition to eligibility questions, Cruz has faced scrutiny over a New York Times report that he had failed to disclose in Federal Ethics Commission filings nearly $1 million in loans from Citibank and Goldman Sachs, where his wife works. And he saved his barbs until the end of a meandering 45-minute speech. The Senate forms do not state explicitly that the money was used on his campaign. Cruz will attend the last event in the series on Tuesday.
Mr Trump said the comments were “very insulting” and brought up the city’s response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
When given the opportunity to respond, Trump cited positive poll numbers, saying the headline was “Trump way up, Cruz going down”. Now we have Cruz taking the game eastward.
In Portsmouth, Trump also reacted to the reported news about American prisoners being released from Iran and questioned whether the United States was getting a poor bargain.
For Trump, the offensive continued his pattern of aggressiveness toward whichever of his rivals he says have attacked him first, from Jeb Bush and Rand Paul to former candidates like Rick Perry and Lindsey Graham.
Cruz accused Obama of painting a rosy picture of the country’s economic situation while working Americans are being “left behind”. As for the loans, Cruz and his aides cited paperwork errors that would be rectified.
Yet Trump could prove the exception.
The famously aggressive NY media have gone full bore against Cruz.
“I apologize to all the pro-life and pro-marriage and pro-second amendment New Yorkers who were told by Governor Cuomo that they have no place in NY because that’s not who New Yorkers are”.
Steele said that Trump’s performance in the debate on Thursday night showed his growth as a candidate.
The Trump campaign is also giving out free tickets to the new movie, “13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi”.
“Anybody who was AWOL from the battle on the Gang of Eight has no standing as a candidate now to say they will enforce the border”, Cruz said of the comprehensive immigration bill pushed by Rubio in 2013. “I’m going to do everything I can to make sure that he gets elected and takes care of us”. “He’s a consistent conservative”.
“So, that was an interesting apology”, an anchor for WABC said.
“I imagine it pulled him out of bed this morning and send him tweeting and tweeting and tweeting”, he said.
