Donald Trump Tuesday tore into rival GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz, calling him a "liar" and a "nasty" person who nobody likes — and said he is a "lone wolf" like President Barack Obama, only "more strident."
"Ted Cruz lies," the front-runner for the party's nomination told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program. "He is a liar. That's why nobody likes him. That's why the Senate people won't endorse him. He stands in the middle of the Senate floor and can't make a deal with anybody. He's a jerk."

The ad says Trump colluded to bulldoze the house while showing a bulldozer flattening the house. This bit of “cleverness” embodies why people hate and are sick to death of politician-lawyers. They and their blind followers will put out 100 percent deception, while claiming that technically it’s not a lie.
See post 121.
The buyer was Carl Icahn, who held the debt on Trump Entertainment, owner of Trump Plaza. He subsequently demolished the house.
“The ad depicts a bulldozer flattening the house whilst stating that Trump colluded to make it happen.”
That is exactly what trump tried to do! He wanted to steal the old lady’s house.
And WHO does Trump mention at every stump speech he gives? He says he will have Icahn working for him with China deals. LOL, American people are going to get a deal with China alright. We might as well start learning our Chinese now.
Trump colluded with Atlantic City insiders to bulldoze the elderly widows house. That’s the truth. Deal with it.
Yeah. She was just an old lady. She couldn't fight off Trump Enterprize.
Trump himself said he has no problem with government seizing private properties and selling them away to the highest bidders. He doesn't hide his support for the federalization of land, health care, and banking.
.
Trump will makes deals that are good for Trump.
Trump had long since built around the house and moved on by the time Icahn bought the property.
Trump offered 1.8 million for the house. Coking eventually sold it for less than 600,000.
I still think his real goal is to go independent. He's GOT to split the Republican vote or his girl Hillary will not win.
If he doesn't split the vote, Republicans will have the house, senate, and presidency. They'll go against everything he's always believed - and spent millions of dollars on. ESPECIALLY if a strict Constitutionalists like Cruz takes the helm.
The ad is Obama-esque slimy-deceitful. It’s the very embodiment of what people detest in politician-lawyers. Hence Trump’s big lead.
Yes, but the context of your comment was: “We begged Bush to go after the enemy when bashed and now we have an American Patriot doing it and you complain”
Nobody ever begged Bush to “go after the enemy” in the primaries, we wanted him to go after the enemies on the left. Nobody ever begged him to “go after” conservatives.
Exactly.
the ad says Trump got rich using eminent domain, please document for me where Trump made a single dime via eminent domain, TIA.
I’m less worried about the parsing of the ad than the very TRUE and TROUBLING facts it brings up about Trump’s lack of respect for private property rights.
The people whining about the phrasing of the ad obviously just want to distract from the content of the ad, because there is no way to defend Trump against the meat of the charges. It’s a silly deflection, and it isn’t going to work when the Democrats attack Trump on this, if he wins the nomination.
Yes, I think that one sentence is untrue.
The rest of the ad though? The actual substantive charges against Trump that he is going to have to answer sooner or later? Factually accurate.
You’re talking to a person whose house was taken by eminent domain. The state paid us a pittance. If someone like Trump had come along and offered, AS HE DID, to pay over seven times what the state ‘gave’ us, I would have been ecstatic.
The bottom line is that the ad lies. It lies in EXACTLY the way Obama lies. He ‘cleverly’ words things so that in a deceitful, intelligence-insulting way he can claim he didn’t lie.
Now let’s see if you can not lie. If the attempt to get the property that Trump made was so horrible, why the need to lie? Why not make a truthful ad that states the actual facts? I.e.: that Trump tried and failed? If that is sufficiently vile, then that is what the ad should have said.
Why did it deceive instead?
