In what's more evidence that Donald Trump is becoming completely unhinged, he is now stooping so low as to label Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz "a bit of a maniac":
"I don’t think he’s qualified to be president… I don’t think he has the right temperament. I don’t think he’s got the right judgment… You look at the way he’s dealt with the Senate, where he goes in there like a — you know, frankly like a little bit of a maniac. You’re never going to get things done that way."
He added:
"Look, I built a phenomenal business. I’m worth many, many billions of dollars. I have some of the greatest assets anywhere in the world. You can’t walk into the Senate, and scream, and call people liars, and not be able to cajole and get along with people. He’ll never get anything done. And that’s the problem with Ted."
It's rather fascinating that this is coming from the most bombastic and maniacal presidential candidate in history. Almost every single one of his proposals are downright outlandish, and he calls everyone who dares disagree with him "a loser" and worse. See how he smeared Dr. Ben Carson by calling him "pathological."
What's more, Trump's latest jabs at Cruz prove that he has no idea what real conservatives want. Cruz promised them to stand up for their values in Washington D.C., even if the establishment would hate him for it. That's exactly what he's done, and it's one of the main reasons that he's now so popular among Evangelicals, very conservative voters, and those who identify themselves with the Party.
If I was Cruz, I'd politely ask The Donald to attack me even more. After all, this will only end up helping, rather than hurting him.

As the nominee of the party, he will drag the recalcitrant along. Their political lives will largely depend on it.
Wanna bet?
You mean that unsourced report that had Cruz saying he didn’t believe Trump would be the nominee?
Are you kidding?
You’re precious.
I’d prefer Cruz too but I honestly think Trump has a better chance at being elected. I know, Clinton would mop the floor with him they say. I’d even vote for Rubio if it came to that. Any Republican over the Hildebeest.
Fox News Sunday
WALLACE: Ted Cruz.
LIMBAUGH: Brilliant, and conservative through and through. Trustworthy, strong, confident, leader, and somebody in whom you can totally depend.
Or Architects.
He is usually right but calling Mitch McConnell a liar on TV (which he is) does not for cooperation make. Sometimes you can be right but not make much headway.
Cruz’s calling out liars and backstabbers is long overdue.
We’ve had enough of the “go along-get along” uniparty traitors.
Support your liberal-republican masters if you wish but I want an honest Conservative leader.
The word that got folks’ attention is not “temperament,” but rather “maniac.”
You mean the one that was on audio from his donors?
Some folks on here actually said that Trump makes those movements all the time in his speeches. LOL!
In your photo post #9, he wasn’t imitating Cruz.
You may be right.
“You mean that unsourced report that had Cruz saying he didn’t believe Trump would be the nominee?
Are you kidding?”
Cruz was asked about it by the Heritage Foundation questioner. He evaded the question, so he was asked about it again, and, as Jamie Dupree mentioned on Hannity, he came out with a non-denial denial, or in other words, he said it. If he had not said it, he was given two opportunities to set everyone straight. I believe it is on tape.
The odd thing is Trump doesn’t mention A SINGLE POLICY while saying things about Cruz. So, this is where we are at now?
Cruz: Carson and Trump will have to deal with the issue of judgment.
Trump: “Cruz is a maniac”—
Cruz: I rest my case.
Going after Cruz for not working well with Congress makes zero sense, unless you are Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, etc.
Cruz fired the first shot. Big mistake.
Or maybe all the propaganda about how the government shut down was going to destroy the republicans was just that, propaganda and because of Ted we got the house and senate back.
not that it seemed to matter.
