Alex Jaffe reports at NBC:

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — Among conservatives, Donald Trump can typically do no wrong — until he attacks Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

On Saturday, Trump drew boos from a grassroots conservative crowd during remarks at the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention for his attack on Cruz’s previously undisclosed loans.

“You give a campaign contribution to Ted Cruz, you get whatever the hell you want,” he said, before boos erupted from the crowd.

Trump went on as the boos grew louder: “Say whatever you want, it’s okay, he didn’t report his bank loans. He’s got bank loans from Goldman Sachs, he’s got bank loans from Citibank, folks, and then he acts like Robin Hood?”

One man in the crowd, 71-year-old Air Force veteran Joe Bates, stood up and shouted angrily, wagging his finger at the candidate.

Trump continued: “You know, say whatever you want, but it doesn’t work that way.”

It was a stark illustration of the political perils the two candidates face in attacking each other as they sprint toward the early primary contests. Each risks losing ground among conservatives that haven’t yet made up their minds between the two candidates, or inflaming their opponent’s base against them.

With that in mind, Cruz had, up until last week, carefully avoided taking on Trump directly.

But with two weeks till the high-profile Iowa caucuses, and the two candidates just points apart in most polls of Republicans there, this week the gloves came off — culminating in a number of explosive exchanges between the two at Thursday’s debate over Cruz’s claim to U.S. citizenship and Trump’s “New York values.”

I don’t care.

I just really hate all the fighting between Trump and Cruz

It was inevitable. Cruz knows who he was dealing with and he just bided his time until Trump got uppity and self-righteous.

Trump doesn't understand what type of leader Cruz is. And that is too bad. Trump could have been some sort of contender.

All of the work, blood, sweat and tears to regain control of Congress for what....voting for a Liberal with an (R) beside his name for President.
I won’t support Trump. Cruz is the only Conservative in this race.

What was that 10 people in the back of the room. Probably plants. Is this all you got?

I agree. I wish Trump and Cruz would both knock it off and start laying into Hillary Rotten Clinton and that Bolshevik Bernie Sanders.

Every four years, the Republican candidates form a circular firing squad, and the media eggs them on.

I would rather see the candidates articulate what they would do if elected president, and start slamming the dirtbag democrats instead of each other.

Were the same people pissed when it was being spouted about Rubio's suspicious financials?

Curious minds want to know who they're dealing with...
