MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Speaking just six miles apart on Friday morning, Donald J. Trump and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas renewed their bitter personal feud, while their supporters echoed the candidates' language and themes - a sign that the bitterness between the two men has now seeped deeply into the feelings of voters.
Mr. Trump called Mr. Cruz "the biggest liar I've ever seen," a line he has been pushing all week. Trump supporters, some of whom said they had once considered supporting the Texas senator, largely agreed with Mr. Trump's harsh assessment.
"I'm very disappointed in Ted Cruz because of the way he's going after other opponents, and some of the things I don't think were actually fair," said Ken Ivey, a retired contractor who waited in line to hear Mr. Trump.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Cruz mocked Mr. Trump's vague generalities. "It's easy to say 'make America great again,' " he told supporters in a room overlooking the ocean. "Do you understand what made America great in the first place?"
An attendee, Mike Loebs, echoed his candidate, complaining of Mr. Trump, "He's all yadda yadda yadda."
"He has nothing specific," added Mr. Loebs, who retired after 30 years in the Navy. "I think he's a bully. If you don't agree with him, you're fat, dumb or ugly."(continued)

Goldman Sachs.
If we don’t get it together say hello to nominee Marco Rubio.
Now that they mention it...
They've been reading FR.
yeah, well post 2 gives you your answer on why the dem might take this.
now typing two words is a major statement.
like that holier than thou Trump didn’t buy politicians, doesn’t owe banks billions, and on and on.
Is there this much hatred every primary. I never followed one before and it’s very off-putting.
I’m good with my Cruz supporting buddies no matter what the say about my guy, Trump. I keep an eye on my buddies that support Sanders though. Gottta watch that crowd...
yeah. i noticed that, too.
Used to be different.
Guys?
Slimes trying to push that wedge even deeper and create a narrative.
Rubio is the guy, he’ll be pushed on us by every quarter from tomorrow till the convention.
They want their amnesty, and if Jeb couldn’t do it Rubio will.
Both of those candidates have a slavering and barking fringe around their core supporters. Most supporters of either are embarrassed by the unhinged contingent on the edge of their preferred candidate.
Count on diehard Cruz supporters to go scorched earth in assuring that outcome. If Cruz can’t have the nom, they’ll content themselves to see Trump not get it either.
I’m Trump. A Trumpeteer. A “sTrumpette”. Whatever. I’m early voting for Trump in Florida on 2/29.
If Cruz wins, I’ll go all in for him.
I love Trump’s campaign. I am happy to vote for him.
I hate the way Cruz campaigns. I will vote for him begrudgingly.
THE END
I’m a Trump guy but will support Cruz if needs be.
We need to stop these open border amnesty pimps before they destroy our country.
exactly. and then say goodbye to the presidency.
I pray to god this isn’t the case. If we are divided it’s all over.
“I’m Trump. A Trumpeteer. A “sTrumpetteâ€. Whatever. I’m early voting for Trump in Florida on 2/29.
If Cruz wins, I’ll go all in for him.
I love Trump’s campaign. I am happy to vote for him.
I hate the way Cruz campaigns. I will vote for him begrudgingly.
THE END”
Amen
(Except I can’t vote since I live on Guam)
Then there are some of us who would be perfectly happy with either and are sick of the infighting.
Cruz is smarter. Trump is a better fighter. Both they are both good.
Hillary, Sanders, and the left (including the GOPe) are the enemy. Period.
PS Find a way to team up, Trump and Cruz. Please.
I'll evaluate whoever is still in the running, and I'll pick the best fit for me among those who are left.
If that guy loses out, then I'll go to the next.
Eventually, I'll vote for the Republican nominee.
The one and only candidate who will cause me to pack up my toys for good will be Jeb Bush, and it looks like there isn't much danger of that.
