July 24, 2015: - 'Flat-out lie': Cruz calls McConnell a liar on Senate floor

...."It saddens me to say this. I sat in my office, I told my staff the majority leader looked me in the eye and looked 54 Republicans in the eye. I cannot believe he would tell a flat-out lie, and I voted based on those assurances that he made to each and every one of us," Cruz said.

"What we just saw today was an absolute demonstration that not only what he told every Republican senator, but what he told the press over and over and over again, was a simple lie.".....

..."Look, at a certain point, we got to make deals," Trump continued. "We can't have a guy who stands in the middle of the Senate floor and every other senator thinks he's a whack job. You have to make deals, you have to get along, that's the purpose of what our founders created, and Ted cannot get along with anybody. He's a nasty person."

Trump is right as you don’t piss off fellow senators by calling co-workers liars etc. You have to work with them so you state the facts and people will make up their own mind. Name calling and frequent confrontations at work normally end up with a firing.
