Donald Trump: Ted Cruz 'Is Sick'
CNN ^ | 1:10 AM ET, Tue February 23, 2016 | Jeremy Diamond

Posted on 02/23/2016 2:20:07 AM PST by drewh

Donald Trump on Monday night once again ratcheted up his attacks on Sen. Ted Cruz, calling his GOP presidential rival "sick."

"This guy is sick. There's something wrong with this guy," Trump said Monday night as he slammed Cruz for the senator's campaign tactics, including the attack ads Cruz and his allies have run against Trump.

Cruz's campaign has run several ads scrutinizing Trump's record on a variety of issues important to conservatives.

Trump has repeatedly slammed Cruz since the Texas senator surged in the polls ahead of the Iowa caucuses and has since ramped up his attacks on him since Cruz beat Trump in the Iowa contest.

Campaigning in South Carolina last week, Trump also called Cruz "unstable" and "a basket case."

Trump also pointed out Monday that he beat Cruz out for the most support among evangelical voters in the South Carolina primary and said evangelicals voted against Trump because "they don't like liars."

"They're really smart people. They don't want to vote for a liar," Trump said Monday to a crowd of thousands packed into a Las Vegas arena.

Cruz, who has sought to position himself as the one "true conservative" in the race, has ramped up his attacks about Trump, bashing the Republican frontrunner for his "New York values" and suggesting Trump is not conservative.

I have increasing doubts about Trump;s grasp on reality. I can see the VP becoming President under the 25th Amendment fairly early in his term, if he is elected.

Coker, TPA, missing audit vote on fed, 500% increase in H1B, welcoming committee with toys to encourage illegals at border are conservative values.

"David Dewhurst had the election wrapped up. Cruz did not stand a chance. Yet somehow Cruz soundly defeated him."

You have been following this closely and nicely described each campaign. It would be fun to hear your take on other colorful wannabees....Christie, Huckabee, Santorum.

Keep on posting your impressions!

It’s foolish to to violate Reagan’s rules for Republicans:
Thou shalt act civil and not attack one another.

As for Mr. Trump, we are stuck with the loud mouth New Yawker, who spews daily populist pleasing red meat promises “to make things terrific” to his hungry low information voter.
It’s astounding so many are easily fooled that Trump’s different.
He’s every much a member of the powers that be hive, by virtue of the Billions he owes banksters, the very buddies he golf’s with.
This scowling attention-whore, master of self promotion wouldn’t even be considered a serious candidate in prior years, were it not that ‘murica and much of the first world today is an Idiocracy.

Correct ...I think Cruz issued “even if it’s true” twice..perhaps more. Very disturbing. Voters are feeling this too.

Absolutely adore your graphics, WVKayaker!

I am so thrilled Mr. Trump speaks TRUTH.

Yesterday’s Townhall with Don Jr. was simply amazing.

If, by God’s Grace, He guides Mr. Trump to the White House, there’s going to be a whole lot of shakin’ goin’ on! Dem & Pub Elites- no more feeding from the troph!

GOD BLESS MR. TRUMP, THE PEOPLE’S PRESIDENT!

BTW, did you read Conservative Treehouse’s latest article re: Cruz? I am continually impressed with the depth of sharp analysis and documentation presented.

Did you watch the last debate? The way Carson looked at Cruz is anything but an “all is settled” look.

You haven’t noticed what Cruz has said about Trump?

No, Why don’t YOU give us an example of Cruz going in the gutter in a speech.

From the several posts I have seen here where Trump supporters trash social conservatives and traditional Christian believers.

He said it twice. I was disgusted. A lot of people have missed this. Obviously, Rubio did not say anything bad about the bible. I mean, why would he??

Anger before love of country, not a winning move. If you wouldn’t support the person running against Hitlery or Bernie they would be happy.

Do Trump supporters EVER trash social conservatives and traditional Christian believers for their values and beliefs? NO

Cruz is a jerk. He’s just plain unlikable. That sucks, because his positions seem most in line with my own, but I don’t like the guy and I won’t vote for him in the primary.

"This guy is sick. There's something wrong with this guy," Trump said [about Cruz]...

“something aint right”

I agree w/ that and its time for Cruz to come out w/ a major mea culpa and clean out his stables.

One more stupid, petty dirty trick and I'm done w/ him.

And that despite the fact that Trump is an obnoxious bore.

Sigh. I wish they could get along. A Trump/Cruz ticket would be unstoppable.
