Surging Ted Cruz Is Dancing Like He’s Never Danced Before
Conservative Review ^ | December 14th, 2015 | CR Wire

Posted on 12/14/2015 10:20:35 AM PST by Isara

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.

I hate to be the bearer of bad tiding but the new Monmouth Poll out today says Trump 41% Cruz 14%. Worrisome to say the least.

Well, I have it on good authority, he's on fire...

People tend to move rather interestingly when they're on fire.

So, I think you are less than honest.

to put it politely.

And, you don’t even have the courage to defend your position that you were a Trump supporter until this moment.

I am a Cruz supporter. I see Rush as waving a clashing red light at Trump, to STOP before he goes over the edge. Cruz and Trump both need Rush at this stage. The attack on Scalia was SO unnecessary, and I don’t think Trump knows how awful it comes across. I was surprised that Trump thinks there is a problem with calling a liar a liar, ESPECIALLY one who welches on a deal. Course correction time for Trump.

Like your master, you mistake insult for argument.

I never said I was a Trump supporter. I have said over and over and over again that I would not vote for Trump because I would not vote for someone who did not support Kim Davis. I have never budged from that position.

What I WAS, was a semi-supporter. I was not anti-Trump. His Scalia comments in particular push me to the anti-Trump category.

But don’t let my words get in the way of your imagination. I am sure you can twist my thoughts and positions better to fit your Trump is the Greatest narrative.

Any time now somebody is going to post a pic of Cruz screaming like Captain James T Kirk but instead he is saying.....

Kaa-MA-nee!

I just cannot get rid of the sound of it the way Cruz pronounced Khomeni.
