Donald Trump is losing to Ted Cruz in Iowa, and he thinks it's yuuuge problem. A Des Moines Register poll taken over the weekend has Cruz up 10 points on Trump, “a 21 percentage-point leap that smashes records for upsurges in recent Iowa caucuses history.”
Trump is hitting back though in typical Trumpian fashion. Seizing leaked comments from Cruz at a meeting of donors as an excuse to go on the attack, Trump took to twitter to vent.

Looks like @tedcruz is getting ready to attack. I am leading by so much he must. I hope so, he will fall like all others. Will be easy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 11, 2015 |

.@tedcruz should not make statements behind closed doors to his bosses, he should bring them out into the open - more fun that way! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 11, 2015 |
And on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, Trump called Cruz “a little bit of a maniac.”
Ted Cruz has thus far refused to respond in kind, even using Trump’s criticism to poke fun at himself.

The Establishment's only hope: Trump & me in a cage match. Sorry to disappoint -- @realDonaldTrump is terrific. #DealWithIt — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) December 11, 2015 |

Ted Cruz has good reason to keep on dancing. It looks like he’s winning.

Friendly sparring.
Rush referred to Trump as “Donald McCain” for his attack on Cruz.
I’m going to get sick of this #Maniac routine quickly. #MoveOn
That’s going to leave a mark, a impression.
Rush Limbaugh : Donald McCain
A previous Iowa winner could teach him the Hucky-Pokey
That's gonna leave a mark.
GMTA :)
i don’t find it friendly. This and the Scalia bash have moved me entirely to the anti-Trump side. I cannot trust someone who takes Scalia’s comments out of context and implies he is a racist. SHAME ON TRUMP!
Trump is an egomaniac.
Rush had a “tea party” caller who was for Trump & when challenged by Rush about Trump’s establishment positions and leftist style attacks on Cruz, he sounded like an Obama voter some of these Trumpeters...pure idol worship.
Yep, I heard that. Rush has come out and said plenty of times that Trump is no Conservative.

Oh, man.
And you were such a solid Trump guy.
