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.
What a nasty thing for Cruz to say.
How dare you post that.
I totally agree with you.
I was taken with Trump for a while. I still appreciate what he did to political correctness.
But he doesn’t wear well. I see people criticizing him here now who were for him before.
I had a sip of that Trump Kool-Aid myself but didn’t get addicted.
Trump supporters think I’m nasty now but I care about them anyway. I’m so afraid that they will be betrayed by their hero in the end and that we all will.
Right. Why not cozy up to all the Establishment Senators.
Then they will love you.
OK, don't look at his favorables.
I’m still on “I used to like Trump.”
Lots of people are on that one now.
I have a DIRECT link.... Any Christian will know what I am talking about. I do hope you don't provoke or deny HIM.
Now that is funny my FRiend.
I hope we can still be friends....
They say GOD chooses our leaders, I agree with that for unknown reasons to us.
Ok He allowed/gave us the Clintons for 8 years, and I asked WHY LORD as I thought maybe it was so we wouldn't ever elect such EVIL again, then we got the Obamas.
I quit asking..WHY and just accept the WHY NOT until the American people change their ways and repent of our evil we will ever get the same leadership.
God gave us clinton and the kenyan anti-christ as punishment for our sins, but also to call us back to His Ways. We have, apparently, refused, and now he will send us trump to destroy what is left.
And a backstabbing @$$ to boot.
Does anyone here at FR hear Cruz having a temperament problem on the Senate floor in this video?
No. Been voting for a very long time. Just sick of Trump’s blowhard comments.
Doesn't make you politically aware, Obama being proof. How many people have been voting for the last 60 years and yet voted for Obama?
All politics is blowhard stuff, get used to it.
No, the problem is Cruz’s staffers told him McConnell was lying, but he brushed them aside, then when he found out they told the truth - he went on the Senate floor with his dog and pony show to get attention. Ted doesn’t listen to others - he thinks he knows it all. Gosh, at 45 - there is nothing left for him to learn, I guess.
Trump wanted him to get his citizenship thing cleared up and Ted strikes back arrogantly that he isn’t taking advice from a Donald Trump What an arrogant POS he is.
No reason for you to be so rude. I have always kept up with politics and DID NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA.
I never said you voted for Obama, I said many voters who have voted for a long time voted for him, that doesn't make them politically aware.
You got my point perfectly, thanks.
I took at such. That is the one thing I dont like about writing a comment and speaking a comment. It can be misconstrued. If I read your comment wrong, my apologies. But I am very politically aware-probably too much.
Yes indeed, so very true.
No worries, miscommunications can usually be cleared up in a couple of back and for the posts for clarification, thanks for doing so.
Many here could stand to understand that sometimes, me included ;)
