Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz is criticizing the G-O-P front-runner for contributing cash to Illinois Democrats.

Senator Cruz is spending the day touring Illinois - ahead of tomorrow’s primary.

And he spent a good portion of his speech in west suburban Glen Ellyn focusing on Donald Trump, calling him a Washington lobbyist...
Because he’s contributed money to Democratic campaigns, like Rod Blagojevich, the Cook County Democratic Party, and 50-thousand dollars to Rahm Emanuel.

"What exactly goes through your mind as you’re sitting there sayin, ‘The Godfather needs 50 grand today’?"

Cruz’s speech was briefly disrupted by one demonstrator.

After she left, Cruz took yet one more dig at Trump, bragging that nobody was insulted or violent during the incident.
