Trump Just Unleashed a Shocking New Allegation About Who’s REALLY Behind Cruz’s Campaign
The Trump campaign stated on Wednesday that Sen. Ted Cruz is really just a tool of the Bush family, and that the Republican establishment will abandon him at the convention in Cleveland.
The Trump campaign issued a statement on Tuesday night following their candidate’s defeat to the Texas senator in Wisconsin saying, “Ted Cruz is worse than a puppet— he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump.”
Trump campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson picked up on this line of reasoning on Wednesday morning, while appearing on Fox News’ American Newsroom.
“The Bush people are now running Sen. Cruz’s campaign — Neil Bush, who’s spent millions of dollars invested with Common Core, and all of these other special interest groups like Goldman Sachs, like hedge fund managers,” she said, referring to Jeb Bush’s brother, who joined Cruz’s finance team last month. “This is going to be a very serious problem if Sen. Cruz continues to go down this path and then neither Trump or Cruz becomes the nominee.”
The current delegate count following Cruz’s victory over Trump in the Badger State is Trump 743, Cruz 517, and Gov. John Kasich 143. There are 882 delegates yet to be allocated. Trump needs 494 to get to the 1,237 required to secure the nomination, while Cruz needs 720.
Pierson told Fox News that “many in the establishment” have made clear they do not intend to support Cruz in a contested convention. “When you have the establishment backing you so reluctantly to the point to where you have people endorsing you that said that you would get murdered on the Senate floor and nobody would care and the difference between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz is being stabbed or shot, their loyalty is not with Sen. Cruz,” said the spokeswoman, referring to past statements made by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who has endorsed Cruz.
