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.â€
“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.â€
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.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 “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.â€
“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.â€
lol
You may not like it jerk, but Ted Cruz is a Senator in good standing and spent 5 years arguing cases before the US Supreme Court. There is NOTHING “sick” about him and they’re all up there lying, INCLUDING your wonder boy who just by calling Senator Cruz “Sick” is lying!
Great, he should stay a great lawyer, who did not realize he was Canadian until a year and a half ago! I think I will pass though on his services.
I will not vote for him under any circumstance. The minute he publicly demeaned Carly Forina’s looks, that was it. ( I am not a Carly supporter). Imagine how hurtful and humiliating that had to have been and I knew immediately this guy was a nasty human being, not worthy of the Oval Office. Then he TRUMPED that with the fact he has never asked for God’s forgiveness. IMO no one should overlook this type of character flaw because it speaks to some very serious mental issues.
trump is like a lefty with his tantrums
Yes! Empty agree like trump supporters do!
#264 As most adults would. However we can clearly see adult behavior/thought process plays no part in supporting that self centered dishonest pig.
OK, now you are making no sense. Hello? McFly?
Trump is the biggest nutjob ever to run for POTUS. Nuttier than a Sh*thouse bat.
He will be the type to use the FedGov like a ax to punish those who go against him. Its to the point now that I don’t want to vote for him if he gets the nomination. I would rather sit at home and watch cartoons. We are screwed either way regardless of who gets the nod.
you are my density.
Very demeaning? You don’t think it’s very demeaning to lie about someone every time you open your mouth? Why can’t Cruz tells America what he wants to do for America to make all our lives better? How he’s going to bring jobs back and rebuild the military and stop attacks on Christianity? Exactly what is he running on except running other people down and telling your how conservative he is and how everyone else are liars? In the last seven months he’s not layed out any plans on how to deal with the economy or anything else. What he has done is lie like hell when he says he was never for amnesty. He was one of George W. Bush’s staff lawyers and his main job was working on amnesty for open opens little george. The latest lie was last night on O’Reilly when he said he was all for rounding up illegals and deporting them all. At the debate when Trump was grilled for wanting to do just this Cruz weighed in and said it was un-American and there is no way we would go around knocking on doors and separating families. He’s the worse liar I’ve ever saw running for president. His lies are so easy to prove but he keeps repeating them. That’s pathological and it’s a brain disease.
WHY??? for avoiding the issue and not addressing the substance??HA.. he’s like my grandson who sometimes attacks the teacher for “ not teaching right” when in fact he didn’t study!!!!
I agree and the picture of him with his daughter, whom he would “perhaps date” if they weren’t related, triggers some issues as well.

Flame time...........I despise Barack Obama, his politics and everything about him......BUT I have never heard him publicly humiliate anyone on a personal level and to me that places him a notch above Donald Trump. That is how much disgust I have for Trump.
Yes, Megan Kelly turned ugly from the inside...that is what Trump was saying about Fiorina...her demeanor was way off. If we can make fun of Trumps demeanor day in and out, we can talk about fiorina’s! Maybe if Carly tried Trump could name her vp or give her a cabinet position. As for megan...Fox will likely drop her down the road, and she won’t be taken seriously ever again. Kind of like Monica.
Lol
I said the same thing today as well. That Obama has never had sexy pictures taken of himself with his daughter. Pretty scary to think someone worse than Obama could be next.
And yet that still pales in comparison to the disgust and revulsion Trump has for his own cult.
Oh no you didn’t! I have a picture like that with my mom! I’m the younger version in the short skirt. It’s in her living room!
That is just weird but not surprising. Kind of laughing it up on another thread today and came up with this. Trump has his children who look cloned to perfection and his three trophy wives. We wondered what he would have done if he had an ugly baby, considered it handicapped? Another Freeper said there is probably a facility somewhere he built that houses his ugly babies and a special wing for his wives over forty. LOL
