Trump: Why I may have to go to war with Cruz...GOP front-runner puts Texas senator on notice
WND ^ | 11/16/2015

Posted on 11/16/2015 7:14:22 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump just put rival Ted Cruz on notice: Get too hot and I'll have to take you down.

Describing the senator from Texas as "nice and supportive," Trump told CNBC’s "Squawk Box" on Monday that the two candidates have similar ideas on many of the issues, including border security and the need for a wall to keep out illegal immigrants.

"[But] If he catches on, I guess we'll have to go to war," Trump said of Cruz, who's seen a bit of a bump nationally and in the early contest states of Iowa and New Hampshire since last week's Republican debate.

And let Hillary win? Leftists are so evil, why would you stay home if there was even a sliver of a chance they can be defeated? The Left hates Americans and it wants what control of our country and it knows it must destroy our freedom to get it. And because your favorite candidate, who I admire greatly, doesn’t get the nomination, you’re not going to vote for a man who obviously loves his country?

Trump donated and voted for the clintons. I don’t trust him.

Has anyone actually seen or heard this supposed statement? Or is the MSM just trying to stir up trouble. Once more.

Your whole response is a beautiful example of typical Trump projection.

Cruz has been vague? And what specificity has St Donald provided...specifics mind you. (and as an FYI, “I’ll build a wall and get Mexico to pay for it” and “I’ll send them all back, that I can tell you” are NOT specifics...that’s called bloviating bullscat)

And then, once you fail to answer that question, answer this: what specifically has he espoused that has a snowballs chance in hell of actually getting through Congress. Because surely you’re a Constitutional Conservative, right? Surely you don’t want to just change the current dictator for a new one that says he agrees with you, right?

You are wrong on your logic there. Once we get into a two person race, name recognition won’t be an issue. It will come down to strategy and the ability to frame the issues. Cruz is a master in both of these areas. I think “likability” will have an impact as well and this is one area Cruz isn’t as good as a Rubio, Carson, Trump or Obama. Fortunately, Hillary’s likability is terrible so it shouldn’t be a problem.

So do the Republicans.

I would vote for Cruz, Trump, Carson or Paul and none of the others. If Rubio or any of the others get the nomination I won't vote for them. I am done drinking Dem Light.

Thats my conundrum. I’d rather have Cruz than Trump as President. But I’d rather have Cruz spending the next 35-40 years on the Supreme Court than 8 in the White House.

Ive been Trump/Cruz or Cruz/Trump since the beginning.

I don’t want to see a war for war’s sake. Debate the issues and leadership. Keep the personal BS out of it.

Trump may try to “war” with Cruz....I doubt Cruz will lower his standards, rather he will speak his mind with facts and details and stay the course. Trump doesn’t exactly do well in actually debating the facts....he appeals to folks emotions for the most part.

Tell that to the Trump supporter here who claims we Cruz folks will be defecting to Sanders.

How about you stop sounding like a liberal Obama/Hillary bot who refuses to acknowledge any flaw in your candidate. And, btw, kiss my butt!

If the 2016 Presidential Race is Trump vs. Clinton, this is the Ad the Dems will run over and over and over again. It will sink Trump and put Hildebeast in the White House.

And today Trump has said that he wants Cruz for his VP. Trump clearly sees Cruz as a threat.Trump says that Cruz agrees with him 100%. So my point is supported. Cruz is a better candidate than Trump in the long run. Cruz mirrors Trump without the baggage that Trump carries. And Cruz is a better debater.
