Donald Trump: Ted Cruz 'Is Like a Little Baby'

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.”

Yes, but you don’t really think he’s going to go to all that expense and logistical nightmares of deporting them?

Trump never jokes. He has no sense of humor. But he does get that screwed up pouty little baby face a lot.

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.

Trump is so awful yet TPA Teddy is getting beaten like a drum by him. Doesn’t say much for Cruz’s prospects in a general election, IMO.

Trump hasn’t been doing the same thing for decades. Around ten years ago he shifted from majority funder to minority funder and name licensing. Probably losing valuation and needs to acquire more land to improve his debt/asset ratio.

Funny if it weren’t so horrifying is right.

I have often thought and sometimes said that it would be fun to have a Trump presidency to laugh at.

But now is now the time for a presidential reality show.

Times are a little too serious right now.

[Idaho_Cowboy]

You know if only Donald Trump had lived in a different time and run again Andrew Jackson. That would make for interesting headlines.

[annieokie]

I dread FR now that it’s pure Trump cult."""""....

Getting very close, getting very close indeed. Perhaps DT will be responsible for destroying yet another business.

But hey, ain't he grand, he's gonna build dat wall, put his name right up dere in the smack danged middle for all his serfs to see and bow down to.

[altura]

You see Cruz supporters?

Me, too.

Funny how we are surfacing so much as your guy Trump continues to make a fool of himself.

[patq]

“Trump doesn’t have the temperament to be president.”

When you see him on TV do you want to run to your safe space?

[NRx]

There is no one running right now that I am enthusiastic about. But I seriously LOATHE Donald Trump.

[altura]

Trump said he’s dealt with scarier people than Cruz.

Were those his Mafia buddies?

[bubman]

I just saw a tweet from Greta Van Susteren asking for people to vote yes or no on whether the Cruz team is up to their dirty tricks. I answered with a fu*k off. Un freaken real.

[altura]

“So when is the Clown Prince of Manhattan going tell us that Ted’s mother wears army boots?”

Thanks for the laugh.

[ChuteTheMall]

You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them.

[altura]

Let’s just hope God doesn’t tick Trump off.

Idle question: Has anyone ever sued God?

Does Trump have standing to do so?

[annieokie]

Trump’s only purpose in this kind of childish stunt is to insure that I will never vote for him in any circumstance, even the general.""""

""""Apparently, his real goal is to throw the election and give it to Hillary.""""....

TRUE THAT..., I can't vote for him either for the same reasons.

[DouglasKC]

Trump REALLY wants Texas. He’s doing everything he can to knock Cruz out there. If Cruz doesn’t get Texas he’s toast. If he does get Texas he may have a slight chance.

[Boardwalk]

I’ve got to say, and this is a Yuge honor, out of all the TDS,
And there have been many, I find you the most DIM of them all. You’re number 1 and number 2!

[Hattie]

The only time I have seen Trump smile or seem to be having fun is when he is demeaning and ridiculing someone to his audience.

Say what you will I miss GWB’s humor and respect for others. He managed to use humor and went after policies, not personal character towards his opponents.
