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

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:

You still misunderstand. I did not say who I wanted the nominee to be. You made that up so you could argue something unrelated that you do understand.

I will happily vote for either one.

Again, my point was that Trump doesn’t need to attack Cruz to win. There is a yuuuge overlap in supporters for both of them - so going negative is neither helpful nor necessary. Since it’s neither necessary nor helpful, why is he doing it?

He goes negative on Cruz, he alienates a yuuge portion who support both imo. Don’t be shy - explain.

“BTW, “punching above your weight” (correct usage) is a compliment. :-)”

Not if you get knocked out like he almost did. ;)

I will happily vote for Cruz if he is the nominee. But I don’t think he can rally enough troops to beat the democrats.

If Donald Trump becomes President just what influences and connections does George Soros have over Donald Trump ?

Ted Cruz ? You need to start asking this question now.

Or take loans from people like George Soros, or some kind of deal that he made with George Soros to help him finish his building in Chicago.

Well, if Trump thought Russia was behind his faulty microphone, it would be on!

Trump is a reasoned mature adult. He doesn’t do crazy except on the campaign trail. Everything Donald Trump does and says is carefully calculated. I have every confidence he will be a reasoned rational President who exercises good judgement.

You don’t make $9billion by being a hothead.

I had high hopes and clicked your link but actually, Rand Paul’s tweets during that debate were pretty fame and nowhere near as funny as the live thread here.
