Donald Trump’s Epic Weekend Meltdown
Redstate ^ | 1/18/16 | Leon H. Wolf

Posted on 01/18/2016 7:11:42 AM PST by TBBT

Maybe Donald Trump needs some of that "free" mental healthcare that the Democrats were talking about last night.

If you are like most ordinary Americans, you probably spent the weekend watching the NFL playoffs, or spending time with your family, or trying to avoid the freezing cold that gripped most of the country. You know, anything other than watching the Democrats "debate" or the political nonsense on Twitter and the cable shows.

Which is regrettable, because people who were paying attention finally got to see what The Donald is like when he's off his meds. It all started, as most things do where Trump is concerned, with an unhinged twitter rant Saturday morning. In it, Trump abandoned his cowardly (but politically wise) tack of saying that he believes Cruz is eligible, it's just that the evil Democrats are likely to make trouble for Cruz over it. He flat out started calling Cruz a "Natural Born Canadian" and furthermore peddling bizarre (and nonsensical) conspiracy theories about Cruz:

From there, Trump went to a rally in Myrtle Beach, SC, where he continued this line of attack and was booed by his own supporters:

Red State is solidly RINO, so much ado about nothing. Move along.

Ask yourself why Cruz is attacking too.

Understand yet?

The meme that Trump is a lunatic or dangerous or unstable is patently and obviously false. Nobody that has ever worked for or with him has ever hinted or suggested any such thing. In fact just the opposite.

ROTFLMAO! That's bottom of the barrel scraping.

RedState's very own meltdown was covered here back in August when fatboy missed his lunch or something and went full-on RINO ...

RedState's Erick Erickson: Jeb Bush Was the Most Conservative Governor in the Nation

As one of the commenters quipped: "Terry Schiavo was unavailable for comment"

I documented some of the insanity starting around #63. Erick lost control of his mind and then his facebook page and website, his sycophant fascist moderators went on a Jihad to ban all the upstarts, even though the victims are often the very same TEA Partiers that Erick claims to represent!.

No, that’s not right. Cruz isn’t attacking like Trump. You may not see the difference but most do.

Cruz saying he wouldn’t take legal advice from Trump vs Ted is a nasty, nasty guy. Ted cannot accomplish anything. Nobody likes Ted.

Understand yet?

If they were really interested in supporting the GOPe, they’d be backing Donald. He supports Speaker McConnell wholeheartedly.

Knock yourself out. I have a whole bunch of quotes I can give you made by Cruz that are polar opposites of what he says now. He has undergone a number of campaign conversions, especially on immigration.

I don’t agree with everything Trump says or does. I disagreed with things Reagan said, but I voted for him twice.

However, I have seen Trump speak on the issues 25 years ago at least, and he was saying the EXACT same thing then as he does now. There is a 25 year old You-tube video of an interview with Oprah Winfrey; except for his looks, it could have been made yesterday.

Cruz evidently is not taking ‘political’ advice from anyone regarding his perceived birthright issues.

I want a paternity test done on Donald Trump.

How do we know his biological father is or was a Citizen of the United States?

In fact, we need paternity tests on everyone.

Lots of problems in that article.

“rally in Myrtle Beach, SC” - lie; it was a tea party event, not “Trump’s own supporters”. Ted Cruz’s Full Speech At South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention Today
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3384618/posts

There was even a pathetic hit on Trump’s age. Cruz is punching way above his level. He already just about got KOed in a “youth and inexperience” moment when he doubled down on his NY values statement at the debate.

Both Cruz’s and Trump’s speeches are on the link on that thread. I watched both. Ted’s hit parts are sad, and the crowd response is weak compared to Trump’s. Ted hit on Trump for WAY longer than the 35 seconds Trump talked about Ted. Trump was direct and factual, Ted was not.

“calling Cruz a “Natural Born Canadian” - true, he was born in Canada, his mother a US citizen, his father not. Own it.

“it’s just that the evil Democrats are likely to make trouble for Cruz over it” - Democrats are making trouble over it - get a clue.

And that’s just in the excerpt!

This video shows why the tens of millions of Trump supporters like him. Trump talks to people like he’s in their living room. Others lecture and talk *at* people in a patronizing way.

So do those Evangelicals suffer from CDS, who know now that Cruz helped fund the Mississippi Treatment against Matt Bevin.

You know, during those 2014 US House and Senate state races Cruz was so silent on, where ALL FReepers were enraged at the dirty tricks operation the Establishment employed against Bevin, in order to reelect their old mule, THAD COCHRAN? Bevin was even leading in that race, the TEA Party candidate.

A few Evangelicals remember when Cruz went dark, never uttering a word of support to other conservatives battling the Establishment and NRSC, but instead Cruz poured an easy $200,000.00 into the McConnell-NRSC coffers in order to hire guns to take Bevins down, and did.

Where were you, then on your “syndrome” pointing?

There is no intellectual honesty in Trumpbots. None. You are worshiping a personality.

Cruz is attacking all over the place. Cruz has his PACs doling a lot of it for him.

Just look at all the threads on here today.

Trump has to do his own fighting, as he has done all along.

He never touched Cruz until the backroom remarks Cruz made about him.

Understand yet?

Cruzers just think nobody is supposed to attack Cruz.

Get used to it. If you want him the nominee, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
