Trump: I’ll ‘go to war’ with Cruz if he rises higher

The Hill ^ | 11/16/2015 | Mark Hensch

[GIdget2004]

Donald Trump said Monday he is capable of turning on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in their competition for the GOP’s 2016 presidential nomination.

“If he catches on, I guess we’ll have to go to war,” he told host Joe Kernen on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”  “We’ll see what happens but so far we haven’t,” Trump continued. "He’s been very supportive [and] we have a lot of the same ideas.

“Well, he’s been very nice and supportive of everything I’ve said, more than anybody else.”

He will surround himself with better and more competent people.

Well, y’all have been saying for days that Carson is a savant with brilliant medical skills, but dull-witted in every other respect. You could be right, I don’t know...Carson isn’t my candidate and I haven’t given him that much thought.

I’ve always had a similar opinion of Trump...good at what he does for a living, but otherwise, no genius.

BTW, you want to give us some examples of Cruz supporters, including me, calling you a “horrible person?” There must be plenty of them, so lay them all out. Thanks.

Are we gonna go nuts over The Hill, people.

Perhaps relevant to the present discussion: Ted Cruz steals Trump's plan on illegal immigration in toto

[MS.BEHAVIN]

LOL!
*applause*
Good to see you, Prof!

[PROCON]

There you are!

Hope all is well with you and yours :-)

[JoSixChip]

Oh? Then whats your reason for railing me about holding feet to fire over lesser evil?

Because you are without question the biggest hypocrite I have ever seen on this site, not to mention insulting and condescending.

You arent the first to call me a liar. but like the rest, you cannot back it up.

You just got done saying "Yet you excuse the pure liberalism of Romney, Bhoner and Mitch." Which I never have and you have no evidence that I ever did. Hence, you are a liar.

Trump jumped the shark with his attacks on Carson. I don’t know what the heck he was doing.

Although I will vote for him simply for the fact that immigration is the most important issue for 2016.

Don’t mind Norm. He means well, but has a serious case of Getoffmylawnitis.

Not sure how you figure that. Recent poll movement has him moving back up.

Always good to be here. Miss you on the weekends. I was seriously busy last weekend with the Paris incident and having to improvise the Berlioz Requiem on the spot. It keeps me on my toes.

They’re all going to run with it.

"I didn't leave the Democratic party, the Democratic Party left me."

So then the changing, increasingly radicalized Democrat party that left Reagan is the one Trump joined.

[Cobra64]

Yes. Both are brilliant. Trump has real world experience and expertise that we need right now. Cruz provides the legal, Constitutionality, and DC maneuvering skills.

[Yashcheritsiy]

DC maneuvering skills

Unfortunately, he kinda maneuvered us right into TPP and the Corker bill...

[Norm Lenhart]

People can read your post history to me and decide for themselves. I have nothing to hide.

[proust]

And his wife maneuvered right into the Council on Foreign Relations, the North American Union, and Goldman-Sach. But he’s a DC outsider. Whatever.
