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...

He’s enjoying the Alinsky freeze him, polarize him tactic way too much. I’m going to come right out and call him SADIST. I bet his wives would back me up, in fact Ivana mentioned in an article how he was rough and sadistic with her behind closed doors.

The cognitive dissonance is beginning to simmer with his fans.

So I’m not getting why Trump is so viciously attacking Cruz

Because he's petty and insecure.

When you get right down to it, Trump is the worst candidate running. Unfortunately, he has a lot of wrestling fans who do not think beyond that level of discourse to see what the consequences of having a man with his obvious mental disorders representing our country could mean.

I don’t understand this at all. For years we have been begging for a President that was not wishy washy and weak. Most of us here thought Bush was weak and wouldn’t push back on negativity. Obama is just plain weak. Clinton was weak. Bush Senior was relatively weak. Reagan was strong.

So we get a guy who won’t put up with crap and he is somebody you both refuse to support. It doesn’t make sense.

I understand that Trump will not give me 100 percent of what I want but just to smack PC in the mouth is worth it. Just to get that wall up will be worth it. Just to stop refugees from coming here is worth it.

Abortion? Well he might not be against it, but guess what Obama wasn’t either and the states are doing incredible job of doing away with abortion.

Gay marriage? Not sure if any President will get rid of it. It may have to go the route of abortion and have states chip away at it.

I just don’t get why you don’t like him.

Why does Trump have to do this? Ted has been a class act to him sticking up for him and invited him to that stand for Israel event in DC. Reagan did not trash his rivals and especially not conservatives. This nation is soooo FUBAR that we have this circus show of madness running for president. God help us. .

I am a Cruz supporter but have avoided the Trump bashing because I could vote for him against Hillary. At some point Trump needs to consider how many conservative votes he is willing to lose with his behavior toward Cruz. If he goes to far he may have to consider Cruz as a VP to shore up his right flank.

I think Donald is willing to give you the finger. He has 2 Reagan Democrats for every one of you. What Donald is doing is called winning. Some of you faint at the sight of blood in politics. Its always been a name calling bloody business. If Trump was saying these things about Sander or Hillary would you be so outraged? What I thought. Demeaning, insulting and burying liberals is perfectly ok, but fellow Republicans in a tough fought primary.."There are rules my man." Trump can win Ohio, NY, Florida and beat Hillary like she needs to be beaten. I'm all for winning this time, if little Ted gets his feelings hurt, well then he's too big a pussy to be CIC

I am hoping beyond hope that Trump will now go into a Howard Dean like downward spiral.


There is apparenty nobody on his staff to reel him in when he becomes unglued. Very bad qualification/characteristic for a guy with the big button.

Nothing but insults. It’s all Trump has. It’d be sad if it weren’t so true.

Because he's a fake, obnoxious, spiteful egomaniac with no inhibitions and no shame.

Funny stuff. To talk to NK you need to go through Beijing.

What do you think is going to happen? Lil’ Kim is going to lay down his nukes on Day 1?

I think president Trump is going to talk big here and when he realizes it’s going to take a full term to build up the military and looks at the US Treasury balance sheet and sees that China is a top two holder of our debt, he’ll stop talking.

Cruz started the insults with the NY Values nonsense.

After that PP fiasco in Houston perhaps Trump should reply with Texas Values now?

What’s unethical is the GOPe. Yes Trump is unethical. Yes Trump is a liar. Yes Trump is rich.
Guess what?
That is true of ALL OF THEM.
NO MORE LAWYERS.
Time to switch gears.
Maybe a greedy bastard who wills his team to win is what our country (our team) needs right now.

“He looks like a jerk”?!?!?!

Come on Donald, you know better than that.
Name calling is what “progressives”, Socialists, and Communists do.

You sound like a Newsweak author.

Don't let us down by acting like a nine year old in a playground. Those are the talking points for the DNC.

" 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. "

Excellent point.

For all the ones waiting for Trump to self destruct, to step on it... sadly, I think this may be the start.

I say sadly because I was hoping beyond hope that he would stay consistent and go after our adversaries as he did in the beginning. Instead the last week or so he’s cozied up to everyone in the establishment (McConnell, Pelosi, Schumer, Reid...) and viciously gone after our own.

I’m disappointed to the max.

Trump is known to counter-punch. Did Malkin say something negative about Trump first? I doubt very much Trump came out of the blues and attacked Malkin first.

"Cruz looks like a jerk"...so sayeth our blessed deliverer Donald Trump (Peace be Upon Him). Let it be written, let it be so. PRAISE OUR EARTHLY LEADER, DONALD TRUMP, PRAISE HIM.

Hundreds, thousands of comedians out of work and you're trying to be funny.

That was an epic fail. Keep your day job.
