Ted Cruz unloaded on his rival Donald Trump after the real estate mogul accused him of voter fraud over Twitter. "I wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing Donald has tweeted," said Cruz, calling Wednesday’s outburst a "Trumpertantrum" brought on by Trump's inability to "debate the substance."
On Wednesday morning, Trump sent out a series of tweets demanding the caucus results in Iowa be nullified due to what he claimed was voter fraud perpetrated by the Cruz campaign. In particular, Trump singled out reports that the Cruz campaign told voters during the caucus Dr. Ben Carson had dropped out of the race, causing some of them to switch to Cruz.
At a press conference before a meeting with voters in Goffstown, New Hampshire, the new frontrunner in the Republican race pulled no punches. "It is no surprise that Donald is throwing yet another temper tantrum – or if you like, another Trumpertantrum," Cruz said. "It seems his reaction to everything is to throw a fit, and I understand that Donald finds it very hard to lose. But at the end of the day, the people of Iowa spoke."
"There's a reason that Donald engages in insult after insult - because he can't debate the substance," Cruz continued. "He doesn't actually want to talk about issues."
The Texas senator wasn't done. "Donald's insults get more and more hysterical the more and more upset he gets," Cruz said. "I think they're very funny. I wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing Donald has tweeted." He questioned Trump's temperament for the job of commander-in-chief, saying "we're liable to wake up one day and Donald, as president, will have nuked Denmark."
"You know, my girls are five and seven," Cruz said. "And I got tell you, Caroline and Catherine are better behaved than a presidential candidate who insults people every day." The line drew cheers and huge applause from the assembled New Hampshirites waiting to meet him.
Asked whether Cruz planned to fire the staffers accused of misleading Iowa caucus-goers, the senator demurred. "This is not a campaign that scapegoats our staffers, that holds someone out and fires them for political purposes," he told a reporter. "And I would note that the news story we passed on was true and accurate . . . is it a dirty trick to pass on your news stories?"
Well, Carson is a Leftist plant who is handsomely paid by either the GOP-e, the DNC, or some other Leftist organization to steal votes from Trump/Cruz so a GOP-e hack can win the primary, so attempting to sabotage Carson’s campaign is a good thing.
Yes, well go ahead and read the treads to find happiness in any of them. Good luck.
Yeah..........
I would. In a second. It’s ok man.
You’ll stand. Whine your guy, NO MATTER WHAT. Very democratic of you.
Woops there it is!
So because the senate leadership has not acted on the bill, that is Ted's fault?
Well Trumps not quick witted enough when it comes to the issues themselves for that very reason....However, it doesn’t bother Trump in the slightest, (as long as it’s not one on on), even when he’s called out....he just goes into his ‘fantasy spin zone’ and pulls in his followers more than willing to take the ride with him. But he can’t sustain that for much longer as he’s got defectors already.
this Carson deal is getting bigger
<><><><
Yes, it has been noted that the Cruz message went out AFTER the CNN story. You get that? After. Meaning Carson’s team opened its collective yap to CNN, who reported the story and then Cruz ran with it.
The deal that is getting bigger is how incredibly infantile Trump is behaving because he lost.
Trumpertantrum is gonna stick.
Trump lost
He was only complementing her beauty. You have a dirty mind.
Unlike the Trump predictions, I am willing to predict it's all downhill now for Cruz.
Indeed. Even the serpent serves a cause though. A constant warning to never drop your guard, lest you become poisoned and die.
Haha. Tom sullivan just said what I said.
These Cruz callers are sounding like Hillary voters. Hillary voters will stand behind her no matter what. Man, talk about low expectations.
Make America Great Again said the crybaby.
We should all be wearing bands around our wrists that say—”What would Ted do.” :^}
“He’s Pissed!”
And he’s whining because he’s pissed.
Wrong wrong wrong.
The time stamp on the tweet from the Cruz operative saying he talked with someone INSIDE the Carson campaign and has confirmed Carson is getting out came out BEFORE CNN put it out there.
Cruz is such a phony. He is a Sunday Christian. The rest of the time he is so dishonest and fake. Trump may express himself different from the scripted politicians, but he loves this country and sincerely wants to help turn things around before it’s too late.
Look what he said about Carly: Who can stand to look at that face? That was a personal attack meant to negate anything of substance she may have to say.
He made a jab about Bush's wife, something about him liking illegals so much he married one. How can someone answer that?
Then he denied Ben Carson's reputation as a great physician. Which I thought was more than a cheap shot.
The man has a huge ego that constantly needs to be stroked. He needs lots of "yes people" surrounding him at all times.
Our Founders' biggest fear was for the people to select someone like Obama who is evil, or Trump who is addicted to flattery.
Aw c'mon, that's too easy. We all know Trump is a lefty!
