Trump also hit Cruz on his failure to disclose to the Federal Election Commission (FED) two loans totalling approximately $1 million that he used to fund his 2012 bid for the senate.

There’s no point in parsing all the verbal volleys in the latest Republican debate, which one again was the equivalent of a Michael Bay action flick, a blustering bludgeoning macho entertainment that pummeled the cognitive intellect and reduced one’s brain to the consistency of mixed nuts.
Among conservatives, Donald Trump can typically do no wrong – until he attacks Ted Cruz.
New Yorkers are weighing in on Ted Cruz’s “New York values” remark at Thursday’s Republican presidential debate with their typical city bite.
Cruz then proceeded, in detail, to attack Cuomo, the governor of New York, for his disapproval of fracking, the controversial energy extraction process, while also aiming his sights on de Blasio, New York City’s mayor, for his policies on taxes, charter schools and policing.
The Donald Trump-Ted Cruz bromance isn’t just over: it’s turned into all-out war. Cruz had given a backhanded apology not for his comments, but to New Yorkers who were harmed by liberal politicians.
But “New York values” ends up signifying a whole lot more than “flip-flopper” ever did: “I think most people know exactly what New York values are”, Cruz suggested during the debate.
Both Cruz and Trump notably avoided opportunities to attack each other throughout much of the campaign. Cruz said those values – pro-abortion rights, including supporting partial birth abortion and pro-gay marriage – explained Trump’s world view.
Out of the kindness of his heart, Trump just thinks his good friend Cruz should try to get a definitive answer now so the Democrats don’t use it against him if, heaven forbid, he should get the nomination. He has actually been the only candidate to question whether Cruz was eligible due to the fact that he was born in Canada and has had a double passport.
Catsimatidis told MSNBC of his own New York-based criticism of Cruz. “And I’ve got somebody in mind to build it”.
“I recognise that Donald is dismayed that his poll numbers are falling Iowa”, said Mr Cruz.
“I’m gonna say, and I know people are gonna scratch there heads and go, ‘what?’ but I don’t you can”, Steele said to radio host Rich Zeoli on 1210 WPHT when asked if someone could stop Donald Trump.
“That formulation didn’t come from me”.

The Florida senator also accused his colleague of reversing his public position on immigration reform, saying Cruz backed a plan to legalize undocumented immigrants “in front of one audience, but then he portrays this sort of notion that he’s the harshest and hardest when it comes to that issue”.
