Donald Trump on Tuesday called his GOP presidential rival Ted Cruz âa babyâ as he dug in on his attacks against the Texas senator, one day after calling Cruz âsick.â
âIâve met much tougher people than Ted Cruz. He is like a baby compared to some of the people I have to deal with. He is like a little baby: soft, weak, little baby by comparison,â Trump said at a campaign rally in Sparks, Nevada, after slamming Cruz yet again as âthe single biggest liar I have ever dealt with.â
Trump later added, âIâd like to really win in Texas. Wouldnât that be great? I love Texas. I love Texas. And I think now that (Cruz) has exposed himself as a nasty person who lies a lot, I think heâs going to go way, way down in Texas. So I think we have a shot in Texas.â
A message left with the Cruz campaign seeking comment was not immediately returned.
Trump has leveled an unrelenting barrage of personal attacks against Cruz, calling him everything from âunstableâ to a âbasket caseâ and accusing him of lying while also touting the Bible.
The attacks come as Cruz and his allies have laid into Trumpâs stances on a number of issues important to conservatives, from Trumpâs use of eminent domain laws for personal gain to the New York billionaireâs past support of abortion rights and additional gun control measures.
Trump has since changed his positions on abortion and gun rights.
And while Cruzâs ads use Trumpâs own words against him, Trump has accused him of playing dirty.
The latest attack is reminiscent of Trumpâs line of attack against former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, whom Trump branded as âlow energyâ over months of campaigning.
But with Bush now out of the race, Trump is looking for space to fill in his stump speech, which previously included multiple references to Bushâs âweakâ nature â an effective foil for Trumpâs brashness on the campaign trail.
He hinted at a potential target on Tuesday when he said âMarco Rubio is a nice young man.â
âHe hasnât hit me. No, no, no, he has not hit me. When he hits me, ugh, is he going to be hit. Actually, I canât wait,â Trump said. âI hope he does (get nasty) because itâs more fun.â
Oh please she is the anti christ’s handmaiden! She sold her soul a long time ago.
Trump won’t last a year before his cabinet plays the crazy @$$ card.
What, what.
This is so ridiculous.
Why would a grown man almost 60 years old running for president stoop to this level?
Cruz is certified. In canada!
So? Trump is still afraid of her.
Trump is almost 70. That’s OK, you don’t have a single fact straight!
I’m afraid of her! 666. Best to stay clear!
Oh, cheer up.
Trump hasn’t won it yet.
The Trump people are blaming everyone for his downfall but he’s doing it himself.
Rave on, Trump, baby.
Spoiled brat cry baby Trump
Almost 70. Because he’s ten years old mentally.
No, Ted always looks serious except when he’s joking.
Trump never jokes. He has no sense of humor.
But he does get that screwed up pouty little baby face a lot.
What would that larger prize be? Keep in mind it would be far easier to stick with the status quo and keep on doing what he has been doing, successfully, for decades, regardless who is president.
Actually the character assassination stuff is right out of Alinsky and the Dem, Party. The bully calling other guys names usually happens in about fourth grade.
Trump is definitely not Repub. Amazing he came from a very wealthy family but never was even taught manners. Wonder if he had a Mother.
Talk about a dynasty builder...DT has great plans, count on it...
This is some scary stuff and should have some serious consideration by Trump supporters, who bashed the Bushes and Clintons about their dynasty building and yet here we go again.
Yeah but he looks 59....lol. Duh!
I think that diaper needs to be changed.
You didn’t hear what Trump said he would do after deporting all the illegals here? He said he allow the good ones to come back.

Much like the worthless Mittens, The Blowhole will indeed chew on his rivals for the nomination. However, when it comes to Madam Secretary, his close personal friend and guest at his wedding...
Been there, done that. Trump already smacked down Hillary when she accused him of sexism. Meanwhile, Cruz cut and run from the issue when he said Bill Clinton was off the table.
Ive supported Cruz from the get go. Didnt like Donald we he announced he was running. After a couple of months, I warmed up to Trump and considered him as my second choice. But then we went after Carson in a vile way. Same with Jeb and Cruz. After that, I became disgusted with Trump. I dont like him but I dislike Rubio even more.
Amazing isn’t it?
I could not have dreamed it in my worst nightmare.
Hate to criticize but you may have the answer when you said:
“We are doomed by the plurality of morons.”
