SENECA, S.C., Feb. 17 (UPI) — Sen. Ted Cruz dared Donald Trump to follow through on threats to sue him over ads that show Trump saying he was pro-choice.

In Seneca, S.C., on Wednesday, the Texas senator showed an ad that featured Trump being interviewed on MSNBC more than a decade ago, in which he said he was pro-choice. The ad condemns Trump’s “New York values.”

“Donald, if you want to file a lawsuit challenging this ad, claiming it’s defamation, file the lawsuit,” Cruz told reporters.

Days ago, Trump threatened to sue Cruz “relative to the fact that he was born in Canada and therefore cannot be president,” a claim Trump has pushed harder since the fight between the two candidates has grown more bitter in recent weeks, “if [Cruz] doesn’t take down his false ads and retract his lies.”

“One of the things I look forward to most of all is deposing Donald Trump,” Cruz said. “And for that particular endeavor I may not use outside counsel. I may take the deposition myself. And I will say this: Whether in a deposition or in a court of law, getting Donald Trump under oath, under penalty of perjury, answering these questions? Well I’ll point out, it didn’t work out very well for Bill Clinton. Donald Trump does not want to be under oath answering questions about his own record.”

Cruz, a Harvard-educated lawyer and former Texas solicitor general, warned that Trump and his lawyers would be “sanctioned in court for filing frivolous litigation.”

  1. DONALD TRUMP, THE PEOPLE’S PRESIDENT.

    Facebook has become very political, as I have been indefinitely banned from authoring anything that is positive about Donald Trump and his promise of a diverse America. For a while I had access to the Facebook websites of Iowa, New Hampshire media and I was beginning to write commentary in South Carolina when I was supposedly temporary unable to write anything, after a dialogue box said when it popped up. Have you tried to communicate with FACEBOOK? I haven’t even received any answer back about my grievance from this monolithic Social network. But then, I have been blocked to make any comment in the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, Salt Lake City Tribune, American Thinker, Raw Story, Reason, Hollywood Reporter and of course ABC News. There are others, but I don’t want to waste my time on them.

    Now we have the Vatican sticking its nose in American domestic affairs and our politics. The Pope telling his millions of zealot flock that Donald Trump is not a Christian, perceptibly because of his boiler plate issue that the majority of the US population are fighting mad with mass illegal immigration. They have arrived here and stayed, with the far reaching executive orders that Barack Obama has wrought on the 93 million American and permanent residents unemployed. His majesty has completely disenfranchising immigration law from being enforced. Of course no impending President can do anything about it, until this Imperial Administration comes to an end? The Republicans who came into power could have impeached this current President, but failed to do so. That’s why we need an ‘Outsider’ as Trump to re-navigate our way out of this economic chaos and stagnation.

    When you hear about the poll numbers from such newspapers, as the Wall Street Journal that Donald Trump has dropped below Ted Cruz I tend to think it suspicious. These Polls have specific agendas in either political Party control that particular polling the way it engineers the wording; so I don’t put much faith in what they stated? I don’t trust any Richard Murdocks’ news implants, and Trump will illustrate how wrong they are? I will just wait and see?

    Trump for all his billions is still up against a profusion of ultra wealthy people that run America and like it to stay the way it is? They cannot buy him so they are spending millions to corrode his successful run so far. The attack ads originating from Sen. Teddy Cruz, Jeb Bush comes from giant companies and is echoing their half-truths across the TV, Radio, and the Internet. But of course anybody who acquires money from Lobbyists of the affluent must sometime pay it back; meaning influencing votes in Congress to open the Southern border ever wider to cheap labor or government contracts going to a crony who puts in a bid, more expensive than other bidders. It’s certainly corruption all the way to the powerful Senators and Congressmen/ women at the top.

    These mainstream media are an accumulation represents a monopoly of either a consortium of Corporate Media that is the essence of GOP establishment that owns the print industry. The Democrats on the other hand are determined to gain one-upmanship over the Republicans to add even more illegal alien families costing taxpayers an estimated $$200 billion dollars, which by pandering to them expects their vote. To reiterate, I have noticed the sudden appearance of a whole host of low readership media, recommending the sickness of the Leftist lifestyle where everything is for free, but eventually are controlled by government bureaucrats; they really run your life and even you’re breathing to some extent. However, thousands of other press outlets are not biased to my commentary about Donald Trump. It’s seems very odd that an disabled old soldier like me and his elderly colleagues who fought in the Viet-Nam war, would cause any consternation among the powerful newspapers that never tell the whole truth anyway? They instead are hoping to influence the less educated with the spin doctors specifically on illegal immigration and the poorly arranged FREE TRADE agreements, we are expected to swallow whole without any outcry.

    Trump knows what he is talking about, that’s why global corporate and giant industries hate his guts as he is spilling all the beans about corruption and multi national bribery. Trump had for a very long time was on the opposite side as a giant building developer Manhattan, New York who has been approached many times by Special Interests and has used lobbyists himself to buy his way into politicians pocket. He knows the corruption that rules inside the Capitol, that has lined the pockets of lawmakers for unknown decades.

    Have you noticed the silence from the Democrats and GOP establishment, hardly a word in this competition, where silence reigns about the illegal immigration invasion? Yet it’s the paramount issue that impacts American workers jobs, lowering of wages and the theft of jobs. Caused nationwide by no accountability in hiring foreign nationals in lieu of citizens and green card holders by business employers who think they are above the law. Around the country we have already recognized the complete disregard for law by city authorities allowing ‘Sanctuary Cities’ to survive. Death by illegal alien has run rampant for the past for at least a decade and it’s only just truly surfaced with the Death of Kate Steinle in the tainted Sanctuary City of San Francisco. Over 425 cities and other communities have sprung up, ignoring immigration laws. Federal ICE detainer’s are completely unobserved and illegal alien are being released back on the streets. The Steinle killing set off a public outcry and for once the Congress was listening. However ‘Kate Law’ never got enough votes to pass, thwarted by the Democratic Senate. We have seen 137 criminal aliens released with no consideration for citizen’s welfare, and the damage done.

    The numbers of foreigners already here are suspected for more than reported by the Census Bureau? Every day there are more and more, because the US Border Patrol has been told to ‘Lay Off’. If Trump becomes President the massive wall will be built and every new enforcement devise will be introduced including Mandatory E-Verify and a Biometric scanning exit/entry tracking system at every entry point that the prior and current administration failed to place any obstacle to the invaders.
