Golly, I thought populists liked it when Cruz did that. Now it turns out that type of insolence is a liability in a president. Frankly, that attitude sounds ... establishment-y.

I guess it's time for the "Donald Trump scolding other people for incivility" act of this circus.

Donald Trump bashed Ted Cruz's "temperament" and defended his presidential campaign's ground game during an appearance Tuesday at the John Wayne Birthplace Museum.

"Ted has got a rough temperament, you can't call people liars on the Senate floor when they are your leaders. Not a good thing to do if you want to curry favor and get the positive votes later on own," Trump said....

If Trump can lie from anywhere, why can't Cruz tell the truth from everywhere?

GOP Rep. to Obama: 'You Lie!'

Justice Alito: State of the Union "Close-Up"

It should be noted that Freepers have abandoned their support of both of these issues that Obama was called out on.

On the other hand, if the so-called leader had been lying to you and the rest of the Senate, you cannot sit idly by and ignore the fact.

The GOPe will welcome Trump and all his self funded $$$.
Now they won’t have to compete as much for big donor money.
Yep, it’s billionaire presidents from now on, the best way to go. (sarc)

Didn’t HURT conservatism any, either. You shouldn’t call someone a liar if there is even a chance that there was a good faith misunderstanding. In this case, there was NO CHANCE. McConnell is a LS of S.
