As New Hampshire voters headed to the polls Tuesday, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump downplayed his use of a crude insult the day before.
"It was like a retweet," Trump said during an interview on "Fox & Friends."
"I would never say a word like that," he further insisted.
At a Monday-night rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Trump told his supporters he was surprised Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was not more supportive of waterboarding.
An audience member apparently shouted out the vulgar insult, which Trump repeated from the stage while jokingly "reprimanding" his supporter for saying such a "terrible" thing....

The Donald wanted to say the P word and this was all set up.
What a C...
I like Cruz, but Trump played that one perfectly.
Eh whatever. This is the level of discourse he likes, take it or leave it. Just be prepared when that’s how he handles world leaders, both allies and opponents.

The search ain’t working.
Are you Tediban really leftists at heart? You have no sense of humor about anything. Donald and the crowd were having fun! Now it was at Ted Cruz’s expense, but the pussy did pussy foot around the topic of water boarding, so referring to him as a pussy, MEOW, was appropriate in a humorous way. ;-)
For all of the “these are serious times, we need serious leadership” talk from his followers here, Trump sure seems to be treating campaigning like it is a game.
Are you people still whining over this?
What are you expecting to do if Cruz was actually the nominee? pee yourselves and then drink bleach the moment the Democrats say far worse?
Some “conservative warriors”.
1980 was a serious time too.
How much did you complain about Regan’s Soviet jokes?
Well that is because Trump is a Class act!!!
So ANYTHING Trump does is oaky by you? Just as I figured.
“So ANYTHING Trump does is oaky by you? Just as I figured.”
Well if I had the intestinal fortitude of Ted Flanders and his base, then I suppose hearing the word PUSSY would make me assume the fetal position.
Since I’m not 6, it doesn’t bother me.
How long ago was Trump good friends with the P#### Cruz?
Not that long as I remember..
Trump must not have the judgement to befriend real men
It took me a while...... but I like it
I think you’re a pussy. Now I’m having fun. Isn’t this fun for everybody?
DT is not presidential grade material. He’s more like Obama-grade slag.
