Trump goes ESTABLISHMENT AGAIN, takes swipe at Ted Cruz for calling McConnell a liar – [VIDEO]
The Right Scoop ^ | Jan 19, 2016 | The Right Scoop

Posted on 01/19/2016 11:44:43 AM PST by Isara

Donald Trump is increasingly attacking Ted Cruz from an establishment perspective, just like he did in December when he called Cruz a maniac for taking on McConnell and the Republican establishment.

Well here he goes again, today saying Ted Cruz has a ‘rough temperament’ for calling McConnell a liar on the Senate floor and suggesting that’s not the right way to ‘curry favor’ to ‘get the positive votes’:

Donald Trump on Ted Cruz temperament (Video)

If The Donald is so interested in currying favor to get the positive votes, then there’s no telling what he will compromise to make that happen. We’ve seen over and over politicians tell us that they will take on the DC establishment and truly represent the people. But then they get to Washington and side with the establishment.

The more I hear Trump criticize Cruz like this, the more I’m convinced he’s going to be one of those politicians. He wants us to believe he’s the ultimate outsider, but I’m worried he’s going to get there and become the ultimate insider just so he can make deals.

And that’s a big problem for me.

Trump actually said, in the last debate, he would go to Washington and bring the 2 sides together.
He’s not the “wrecking ball” his supporters thing he is.
We here at FR, everyone knows what “bringing to 2 sides together” means.
We have seen it a thousand times.
It means the Right gives up their position to go along with the Left.
I’m not interested in bringing the 2 sides together.

So the Mouth of Manhattan is calling out Cruz for callimg McTurtle a Liar on the Senate Floor?

Hold on America. Did McTurtle LIE to all of us about how he was going to use EVERY means available to him to STOP Obama and his Agenda? HEllO? ANYONE?

So McTurtle LIED to Every Republican Voter before the 2014 election saying what he would do if given the Leader Position in the Senate...

And the MOUTH of Manhattan thinks that is a GOOD thing.

WAKE UP AMERICA!

There you go. Post a silly pic to divert from Trump cozying up to McConnell. Brilliant!

Confusing, isn't it?
Trump will say anything we want to hear. ANYTHING. He "does not lose."
If we want to hear the winter is warm, he'll tell us the winter is warm - and then we'll all cheer "Go Trump!".
Once he wins we'll find out the winter is still cold, but it'll be too late to do anything about it.

It’s called politics....both men are in it to win.

It’s amazing how so many here supposedly seasoned in the political arena don’t get it....I mean, elections have never been like this before....

Donald Trump has spent the past 6+ months running the “no holes barred”, “take no prisoners”, “death to PC crap” kind of campaign that so many have clamored for. Now he’s criticizing Cruz for his plain talk?

How odd.

Instead of playground taunts how about addressing the accuracy of the article?

Yep, but reading some comments here sure would make you think this is the first time in history

Did you read the article Drudge linked this ridiculous headline to?

The picture and headline bore NO resemblance to what Cruz said in the article.

This is the kind of crap I despise.

I think that's going to spread. I think people are going to get over the celebrity thing and start thinking the closer we get to the election. Trump is not a likable guy at all, and up until he decided to run for the presidency was far left wing.
And I believe most of his support is coming from the democrats. Imagine if a real Conservative Republican said the things he's said. The media would have crucified that person! We'd have never heard the end of it.

We here at FR, everyone knows what “bringing to 2 sides together” means.

Country music lovers and Western music lovers. But he will not make deals especially with bohemian rap!
