Trump on Cruz’s “rough temperament”: You can’t call your leaders liars on the Senate floor

Golly, I thought populists liked it when Cruz did that. Now it turns out that type of insolence is a liability in a president. Frankly, that attitude sounds ... establishment-y.

I guess it's time for the "Donald Trump scolding other people for incivility" act of this circus.

Donald Trump bashed Ted Cruz's "temperament" and defended his presidential campaign's ground game during an appearance Tuesday at the John Wayne Birthplace Museum.

"Ted has got a rough temperament, you can't call people liars on the Senate floor when they are your leaders. Not a good thing to do if you want to curry favor and get the positive votes later on own," Trump said....

Hell he’ll bring Nancy Pelosi in for the same rally and the simpletons will cheer his “leadership”.

Gee, you came unhinged pretty easily.......the truth is a powerful thing.

“I’m nice”.”..............Look at that face

“I’m rich”.................I can afford a beautiful wife

“Trust me”...............Obama is doing a great job, I like Nancy Pelosi.

Way to stand up for Mitch, Democrat Don.

If this clown is the Republican nominee, there are a lot of Freepers who are going to have a hard time looking at themselves in the mirror.

Pray for us all, we are in for very rough waters. When a lie is truth and the truth is a lie, we as a nation have broken our promise to our Creator. We shall soon reap what ill we have sown.

My sign at the 9/12/09 rally was “Joe Wilson was right”, “You Lie Obama!!”.

Got a comment at the hotel on my way out from a 20 something, “C’Mon!, that’s disrespectful” to shouts of support from crowd members in front of the Capitol.

Read post 25 :)

Trump operates on a level way above what we are used to. People criticize and hate - because they don’t understand.

Don’t know if you saw this;

You are certainly right, they’re not leaders, at least not mine. Leaders, in order to lead, must have those who are following them. I’m being dragged by our rulers to their socialist “paradise”. Only those who approve of this nightmare agenda are following them. But,the socialist overlords of the US are not *my* leaders. Just my draggers.

McConnell is a man who lies to your face to secure your vote and then pulls the rug out from under you. He's untrustworthy, a proven liar who cares about nothing but his own personal power. But he controls the senate because he can (and has) called on democrats to help him stop conservative initiatives. If Trump thinks he can collaborate with this sort of man, well, all I can say is he better sleep with one eye open after he gets in bed with Mitch.

Unless he shares Mitch's agenda. God help us all if that's the case.

Trump has next level thinking, I’m a simpler man. Anyone who walks over to spit in McConnell’s eye is okay with me. Some people just deserve it.

As Levin said last night, the GOP types who led to the rise of Trump are the very ones he wants to make deals with.

Un huh, blaming someone else for his own stupidity in believing a lie against the warnings of his own advisers. He didn’t have sense enough to vote the other way and tried to squirm out of it by claiming McConnell lied. So what if McConnell did lie? Cruz should have manned up to the mistake of believing him. Not too smart for someone supposed to be so brilliant.And cowardly to boot!

I think Trump has dealt with men like Mitch all his working life. I don’t think he is looking to get along although they both may act nicey nice they will both know its an act.

Trump knows how to get and use leverage. That’s the only thing someone like Mitch understands. Trump plays hardball; Mitch just plays dirty. Trump is going to give in on things he thinks are not important to look like he is cooperating and get in a position to have America’s back on the important ones. He is also not going to show his cards and will keep the old boy network/living off the fat of the land folks off balance and out gunned.
Popcorn time.

Come on Donald, you pride yourself on talking tough and talking down to the media, calling them liars or anyone else that gets under your skin......hypocrite

Pot calling kettle?

From what I have read, most of the Insiders in Congress would have to be removed from their positions of power or risk tearing the party down. McConnell, McCain and Rience Priebus would have to go. The president gets to pick the party chairman.

He could get rid of McConnell over the voter fraud issue in the primary that Priebus refused to deal with.

But yes, he did get played by McConnell. I would bet that Cruz didn’t believe that McConnell actually committed voter fraud, either. People were warning him about the TPA thing and Cruz just wouldn’t believe that McConnell would lie, not to just him, but to the whole Republican caucus.

The Republicans Insiders have themselves in a bind, they have made so many deals Democrats, that they probably really would be happier with Hillary than either Trump or Cruz. What worries me is that Trump doesn’t know any more about the Constitution than he does the Bible. He isn’t an ideologue and that leaves him open to changing his mind and going in a completely different direction.

Basically, I don’t trust Trump. He has lied about the Cruze eligibility and I am sick to death of lying politicians. On the other hand, I am worried about the Supreme Court ruling on Obama’s immigration executive actions. Mark Levin said that it might take executive actions by the next President to undo it and I don’t know for Cruze is up to using the same executive actions that Obama has. I think that Cruze might be too inflexible on the Constitutionality.
