Ted Cruz unloaded on his rival Donald Trump after the real estate mogul accused him of voter fraud over Twitter. "I wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing Donald has tweeted," said Cruz, calling Wednesday’s outburst a "Trumpertantrum" brought on by Trump's inability to "debate the substance."
On Wednesday morning, Trump sent out a series of tweets demanding the caucus results in Iowa be nullified due to what he claimed was voter fraud perpetrated by the Cruz campaign. In particular, Trump singled out reports that the Cruz campaign told voters during the caucus Dr. Ben Carson had dropped out of the race, causing some of them to switch to Cruz.
At a press conference before a meeting with voters in Goffstown, New Hampshire, the new frontrunner in the Republican race pulled no punches. "It is no surprise that Donald is throwing yet another temper tantrum – or if you like, another Trumpertantrum," Cruz said. "It seems his reaction to everything is to throw a fit, and I understand that Donald finds it very hard to lose. But at the end of the day, the people of Iowa spoke."
"There's a reason that Donald engages in insult after insult - because he can't debate the substance," Cruz continued. "He doesn't actually want to talk about issues."
The Texas senator wasn't done. "Donald's insults get more and more hysterical the more and more upset he gets," Cruz said. "I think they're very funny. I wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing Donald has tweeted." He questioned Trump's temperament for the job of commander-in-chief, saying "we're liable to wake up one day and Donald, as president, will have nuked Denmark."
"You know, my girls are five and seven," Cruz said. "And I got tell you, Caroline and Catherine are better behaved than a presidential candidate who insults people every day." The line drew cheers and huge applause from the assembled New Hampshirites waiting to meet him.
Asked whether Cruz planned to fire the staffers accused of misleading Iowa caucus-goers, the senator demurred. "This is not a campaign that scapegoats our staffers, that holds someone out and fires them for political purposes," he told a reporter. "And I would note that the news story we passed on was true and accurate . . . is it a dirty trick to pass on your news stories?"
Cruz is so smug. You have to watch him closely and look out for more “oops” moments. He is seeming to be a slippery fellow.
Minutia when compared to voting for liberal Trump.
But concern yourself with the trivial and ignore the progressive elephant in the room.
And Cruz is someone who impugns the “body of Christ” by claiming it for himself and then acting less than above board.
Get the POPCORN for Saturday’s debate.
Cruz has gone full LBJ-on-Goldwater: I just heard Cruz say that if Trump was president Trump would nuke Denmark. And TRUMP can’t debate on substance?
Trump is getting his clock cleaned.....and he brought it on himself. Trump,who I support, will lose it if he can’t control his mouth.
How does a big crybaby look presidential?
He loses it.
Trumpertantrum...lol!
I pointed out in early December that Trump s weakness is his inability to deal with being mocked. And they are going to Mock mercilessly until he s taken away by women in white lingerie or he adapts and learns this part of the game.
No court in the U.S should give this case any merits over mere political chicanery.
“Trumpertantrum” - it’s getting some mileage...
Unfortunately for the Cruz-ites, this Carson deal is getting bigger. It’s not going away. Cruz is a dirtbag and trump and Carson aren’t gonna let people forget it.
I thought the girls were supposed to be left out of the politics....
Trump can’t do anything other than tear his opponents down.
He has nothing positive to say.
Trump’s one liner is getting old fast.
“He was probably used to getting his way as a child.”
When he complained about only getting a $1 million loan from daddy to start his business. No. Not at all.
Word now is that Carson dropping out thing may have been started by Rubio supporters, then picked up by Cruz supporters, apparently believing it to be true.
Libs have often portrayed Conservatives as Bible-thumping hypocrites who lie.
Guess they were correct.
There comes a time at which it’s time to put aside the wild-eyed bombast and to begin substantive discussion of policy matters. Most of the other candidates are moving in that direction; Trump seems unable to do so.
..
And the Republicans’ chances Died.
No, they are reborn. Do you seriously think Americans would elect an unstable whiny baby? 70% plus of republicans never fell for him.
BTW, I’m born and bred in Gvlle.
