‘Ultimate hypocrite’: Donald Trump bombards Ted Cruz with vicious tweetstorm
If at first you don’t succeed, try and fail again. The Times earlier had reported that Cruz had not disclosed a loan from Goldman Sachs for the same campaign. “The billionaire businessman made the comments at a tea party convention in SC in front of crowd split among supports of the two leading GOP White House contenders”. I’m not a Trump fan, but I would say he’s a little spot on.
“I’ve lived in New York City and Manhattan all my life”, Trump said. “I think the American people are looking for a commander-in-chief who is stable and steady and a calm hand to keep this country safe”.
“I was born here… big difference”, Trump interjected. But speaking to reporters at a church not far from Charlotte on Saturday, Cruz, who once declined to attack Trump, shed any caution he may have had about laying into his top rival.
Cruz accused Donald Trump, a New York City native whom he trails by about over 10 percentage points in national polls, of having such values during a night of sparring between the two candidates.
“I apologize for the working men and women of NY who are denied jobs – jobs that have been plentiful just south of Pennsylvania – because Gov. Cuomo bans fracking”, he said, referring to Cuomo’s controversial ban on the extraction of natural gas in western NY.
Ted Cruz is facing new questions about whether he is eligible to be president – this time through a lawsuit.
An off-hand – and probably now regrettably less-than-calculated – jab at Donald Trump’s “New York values” has landed Ted Cruz in the hot seat. “I’m proud to be a New Yorker so I’d just say “thank you for the compliment” and move forward”.
“I didn’t have a process server serve him right on the debate stage in South Carolina”, Schwartz said by phone Friday, adding that he paid the $400 filing fee out of his own pocket. Asking, is this the NY that Ted Cruz is talking about and demeaning?
“You have to have a real case or controversy and he has to have a stake in it. He doesn’t”, Treece said. Charlie Condon, the former attorney general of SC, outlined how they would focus on what opponents see as Mr Trump’s socially liberal streak.
However, not everyone agreed that Cruz should apologize for insulting them.
Trump escalated his attacks Saturday morning, saying in a tweet that additional lawsuits will be filed questioning Cruz’s eligibility to be president.
