Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's supporters unveiled an ad responding to new attacks from Donald Trump. Trump amped up his criticism of Cruz on Twitter following Thursday night's GOP presidential debate, and a pro-Cruz super PAC, Keep the Promise, responded with a new video.
The ad plays audio of Trump heaping praise on Cruz as part of an introduction at a Lincoln Day fundraising dinner in Palm Beach, Fla., in 2014.
"One of the reasons that I like Ted Cruz so much is that he's not controversial," Trump says in the ad to laughs from the audience. "But the truth is, he shouldn't be controversial because what he's doing is right ... I just watched him and I watched what he was saying and I listened very carefully and I don't understand the controversy. It's common sense. It's good government. It's so many good things. But he really is a special guy. He's now a very very popular and important figure in all of our lives."
Trump's 2014 comments stand in stark contrast to his recent comments calling Cruz "the ultimate hypocrite."

Apologies about the VIDEO oops.

Actually, it’s a video with AUDIO of Trump gushing over Sen. Ted Cruz.
DT is a master at his attempts to get the adoration from all sides.
WARNING - if ya got The Tee Dee Ess, DON'T click on the pic. Yer head might explode. That is all.
It seems to me that it was Cruz who said he was going to have to attack Trump at some point. He did and Trump is responding in kind and the Cruz supporters are having a hissy fit. It is politics and you guys need to grow up.
Right.
What planet are you on.
Planet Donald?
: )
Seems to me that all the faux conservatives on this site are getting easier to spot by their attacks on anyone who disagrees with them, just like dims.
Many times, robust attempts to V-E-T Trump is met with the smear that “you hate Trump.”
It’s a tactic to shut down any meaningful discussion.
