WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump had a new target on Sunday, calling fellow White House contender Ted Cruz "a little bit of a maniac" as the U.S. senator surpassed him in an Iowa poll.Cruz's dogged pursuit of conservative Iowa voters has paid off in the form of a 10-point lead over Trump in the state, which has one of the earliest presidential contests.
Unlike the other Republicans in the 2016 White House race, the U.S. senator from Texas has embraced Trump and avoided public criticism of the popular candidate.
But last week he questioned Trump's judgment at a private fundraiser, according to the New York Times, after the billionaire businessman advocated temporarily banning Muslims from entering the United States.
That got Trump's attention.
"I donât think he is qualified to be president," Trump said on "Fox News Sunday."(continued)

Here we go again. Doesn’t anyone read FR before they post?
Multiple threads on this including some pulled. I know, couldn’t find previous ones in search?
I can’t prove it, but my gut is telling me that there’s actually a quiet understanding between them. Right now they’re both still running for President. They have to take *some* shots at each other. I still wouldn’t be surprised to see a Trump/Cruz ticket.
Projection.

Big money donors and PACs result in a puppet problem. Always have, always will.
(A) I search the actual headline, not variations of it. (B) I was out today and just got back an hour ago. (C) Are you the new site owner?
I agree with you. This has some element of Kabuki to it.
I can't prove it, but my gut is telling me that the internet "buzz" about a "Trump/Cruz" ticket exists only in the minds of Trump supporters. Right now they're both still running for President. Trump supporters want/need Cruz to drop out and endorse Trump since a credible proven conservative still in the race poses a threat to GOP voters pulling the lever for Trump in the primary. Unfortunately for them, neither Cruz nor their savior Trump show any interest in running together as a "team".
Yep! Send in your contribution ASAP to keep me up and running.
I have been here all day and have had the pleasure of seeing threads about Maniacs and Saudi Princes all day.
There are a few gems in today’s post so I recommend scanning back to earlier today.
Sorry to offend you, just venting. By the way, each publication and blog will probably have a different title for a subject. I guess that is why the same subject keeps getting posted. Over and Over.
I hope this little spat ends soon. It only plays into the bad guys hands.
Search only matches the **exact** title.
I know this sounds complicated, but it is not really.
Instead of searching for the **exact** title, try searching for a unique word like **MANIAC** .
Takes less effort and gets better results. If you search for the **exact** title, it is very, very likely it will only find a previous post from that site (source).

“Iâve posted over 31,000 threads.”
Says it all.
What does that even mean? How many have you posted?
I’ve posted a total of 17 threads and 3,049 replies.

I don’t need to post to validate myself.
Is there some chart that shows one’s value as a Freeper based on how many times they have posted. All this time and I missed that.
