‘It’s a little surreal when Trump threatens your mom’: Cubs owner

[kevindavis007]

The Cubs hope to end up in the pennant race, but right now they find themselves in the middle of the presidential race.


Earlier this week, Republican front-runner Donald Trump targeted a tweet at the owners of the Cubs.


Trump apparently was referencing how Marlene Ricketts has contributed $3 million to an anti-Trump political action committee, Yahoo Sports reports.


Cubs owner Tom Ricketts responded: “It’s a little surreal when Donald Trump threatens your mom,” adding how members of the Ricketts family aren’t shy about taking political stands. “… We are pretty much are an open book. We stand up for what we believe in. We support the causes we think are important. That is what America should be. That is who we are.”


As for family secrets being uncovered, Tom Ricketts didn’t sound worried, telling the media: “If we had something to hide, you people would have found it by now.” So what was Trump referring to? “I have no idea.”


Maybe Trump has discovered Joe Maddon’s hit-and-run sign and plans to reveal it to the rest of the National League.

it a little surreal when people want to use their wealth  to try and play the political game yet then whine hysterical when their target shoots back at their attack.


Sorry but Trump isn't your standard week kneeded GOP candidate who will stand there while you hit him then ask you to hit him again while apologizing to you for feeling the need to hit him.

Do you not see the irony in your statement?  Nobody throws his wealth around in a threatening way more than Trump.

It is one thing for politicians to attack another, however when a politician (yes Trump is a politician when he entered the race) threatens to silence a private citizen who is exercising their free speech that is crossing the line. Bad enough the Dems are doing it.. People on our side shouldn't be doing this at all..

When I send $5 to a political campaign, I am "using my wealth" to play the political game, does that then make me the target of threats by the Federal government?

Oh, wait!

It does!

Just ask TEA Party groups dealing with the Obama IRS.

Trump and Obama are twin sons of different mothers.

I think the mentality is: it is OK if our guy is doing it. It is bad when their guy is doing it.
