Donald Trump: Ted Cruz 'Is Like a Little Baby'
CNN/Gant Daily ^ | 1 hour ago | staff

Posted on 02/23/2016 2:40:15 PM PST by drewh

Donald Trump on Tuesday called his GOP presidential rival Ted Cruz “a baby” as he dug in on his attacks against the Texas senator, one day after calling Cruz “sick.”

“I’ve 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,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Sparks, Nevada, after slamming Cruz yet again as “the single biggest liar I have ever dealt with.”

Trump later added, “I’d like to really win in Texas. Wouldn’t 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 he’s going to go way, way down in Texas. So I think we have a shot in Texas.”

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 “unstable” to a “basket case” and accusing him of lying while also touting the Bible.

The attacks come as Cruz and his allies have laid into Trump’s stances on a number of issues important to conservatives, from Trump’s use of eminent domain laws for personal gain to the New York billionaire’s past support of abortion rights and additional gun control measures.

Trump has since changed his positions on abortion and gun rights.

And while Cruz’s ads use Trump’s own words against him, Trump has accused him of playing dirty.

The latest attack is reminiscent of Trump’s line of attack against former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, whom Trump branded as “low energy” 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 Bush’s “weak” nature — an effective foil for Trump’s brashness on the campaign trail.

He hinted at a potential target on Tuesday when he said “Marco Rubio is a nice young man.”

“He hasn’t hit me. No, no, no, he has not hit me. When he hits me, ugh, is he going to be hit. Actually, I can’t wait,” Trump said. “I hope he does (get nasty) because it’s more fun.”

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?

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.

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.

Thanks, I will look that up, but I had already suspected as much from him with his love for Eminent domain. No one with a sane mind can ever think DT is in this to win it for us......

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.

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.”
