UPDATE: Sunday 2:45 p.m. Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump really doesn’t like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and he wants the voters to know it.
Between campaign events on Saturday, Trump sent more than a dozen tweets blasting the freshman Senator on everything from his comments about “New York values” to the revelation that Cruz didn’t properly disclose a loan from Goldman Sachs (his wife’s employer) while running for Senate.
Trump even continued questioning Cruz’s eligibility to run because of his birth in Calagry, Canada to a Cuban father and an American mother.
Here’s a sampling:
Ted Cruz was born in Canada and was a Canadian citizen until 15 months ago. Lawsuits have just been filed with more to follow. I told you so

Ted Cruz said he “didn’t know” that he was a Canadian Citizen. He also FORGOT to file his Goldman Sachs Million $ loan papers.Not believable

Based on the fact that Ted Cruz was born in Canada and is therefore a “natural born Canadian,” did he borrow unreported loans from C banks?

Ted Cruz purposely, and illegally, did not list on his personal disclosure form personally guaranteed loans from banks. They own him!

Everybody that loves the people of New York, and all they have been thru, should get hypocrites like Ted Cruz out of politics!

When will @TedCruz give all the New York based campaign contributions back to the special interests that control him.

Is this the New York that Ted Cruz is talking about & demeaning? pic.twitter.com/rYGX9vazku

If Ted Cruz is so opposed to gay marriage, why did he accept money from people who espouse gay marriage?
