THAT is when Trump started calling him Lyin' Ted. Not before then. THOSE statements EXACTLY are what finally got under Trump's skin, and they WERE LIES. TOTAL LIES of the worst kind, and the stupidest kind. Like an 8 year-old child. Then the cheating and dirty tricks just got too big to ignore---they were like the 900 lb gorilla in the room, every damn primary.
