Trump: Ted Cruz 'looks like a jerk'
Politico ^ | January 26, 2016 | NICK GASS

For Donald Trump, in some ways, Ted Cruz "looks like a jerk."

The heated personal rhetoric directed by Trump at Cruz cranked up another few degrees on Tuesday morning, with the Manhattan business mogul unloading on his Republican rival in back-to-back morning show interviews.

...

"He's a liar," Trump said of Cruz, adding, "that's why nobody likes him

...

"He looks like a jerk, he's standing all by himself.

...

Co-host Mika Brzezinski interrupted, asking Trump if he was actually comparing Cruz to President Barack Obama. "Well, they're the same. I think actually, Ted is more strident than Obama, if you want to know the truth...

All his LIEberal friends agree with Mr. Windsock. Unfortunately, too many wannabe thugs admire a POS with no core...

Do you wonder why none of the 99 Senator Cruz’s colleagues have endorsed him so far?

Looks like Donald and everyone else can now pee in the streets. More New York values. What a great nation we live in.

Trump is quick to insult conservatives like Malkin nad Cruz, and other Republican candidates with childish remarks but yet he praises the likes of Sharpton, Pelosi, Reid, Clinton and Obama.

Even though Trump is an old man he acts like an immature petulant child. Question him on his past statements, or challenge him on his stand on the issues and he’ll respond with a personal insult.

Ted Cruz will outsmart the Donald every time. Donald Trump has the temperament of Sonny in the Godfather. Every time anything happens not to his liking he flies off the handle and rushes off in a huff. Not a good personality to have for politics...or the mafia.

The hallmarks of rebellion against professional politicians include unbridled derision and insults - deserved, in my opinion.

Strange is your language and I have no decoder, why don't you make your intention clear?

Might have been Cruz’s FB post or supporters post to his page degrading Melania. What it was I don’t know since it was taken down, just heard about it.

If that’s the case, did anyone think Trump wouldn’t come out blazing?

Michelle Malkin is such a genuine person, conservative, etc who has fought in the trenches for years now. She is one of those that has brought conservatism it back. I have to really respect and pay attention to her opinion of Trump.

And he had the nerve to disrespect her, like he does everyone that doesn’t see him already as the anointed one.

I agree with another poster, this side of him is a real turn off for me.

I agree, but Smart doesn’t beat Popular in America.

I fear the Republic is lost.

I think he may have hit his tipping point. I know these hardcore trumpees here embrace him totally no matter what. They forget 70% don’t support him, high numbers say they will never vote for him. He is showing himself for the repulsive, petty little man he is. Maybe Megyn will ask DT specifically what Cruz has lied about.
And all of FR cheered Cruz as he stood alone and made his stand. Seems long ago.

Bingo! All these career politicians, including Cruz, should be mocked.

I understand that Ted Cruz, who is 46 years old, was only in private legal practice for 2 years. The rest of the time he was working for Bush or as a political appointee, that would make him a career politician, wouldn’t it?

Definitely part of the problem and not the solution - he had his chance.

Nothing infuriates me more than ‘principled’ non-participation. The enemy of my enemy is a friend indeed when in need.
Those of you who did not vote against the Usurper for what ever reason, regardless of how valid, brought this Republic to the edge of extinction.
You bastards.
Had we not worked with Russia, most of the world would be speaking German.
You noble and principled jerks gave all of us:
Four more years of ‘fundamental change’.
Four more years of race baiting antics.
Four more years of Arab Spring.
You gift wrapped Iran a nuclear program.
You created Europe-istan, need I go on?
I do not recall any stories of Paul Tibbets being concerned if the Atomic Bomb was a conservative or not.
We are truly at that point:
Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle hardened. He will fight savagely.
This is a battle to restore a constitutional government. We will need a thousand Ted Cruz(s) to accomplish this.
But first, we need to take down the Axis of Evil:
-The Socialists
-The New World Order
- and the Islamic Forces that they employ.

We must use the Trump bomb, it is an ugly weapon, but the deployment is not optional.

We must use it now.

There will be collateral damage, but such is the price of Liberty.

We will have to pick up the pieces in the years that follow.
If you do not vote, then you have abandoned us at our most dire time of need and help. If you do not vote then STFU and leave.

Donald Trump, keeping it classy. As classy as he is able. Which isn’t much.

Because they're afraid of retribution by Senate Majority Leader McConnell?

Why is Trump trying to alienate Cruz supporters? Why is he trying to destroy Ted Cruz?
