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€
Better than being a Big Cry Baby and blow hard
Cruz thinks you’re peachy! Now send him money! 5, 10, 20, any...thing..any. thing! Please!
Same here.
After reading his deposition in the tRump University and his treatment of that farmer overseas he tried to destroy for a clear view for his golf course told me all I needed to know about him. The Restraining order from him stalking the european press gal just reinforces it.
You’re delusional!
LOL ~ Melania, herself, is 45 years old, so she might be brought to that special wing pretty soon. :)
Those aren’t his kids.
#275 Yeah right.. that is why Ruppert just gave her a 4 million dollar contract.
Well, she and Hume must have real dirt on ...
Link please. I did say down the road. 4 million sounds like little peanuts.
#275 tRump said “that face...” hardly a reference to ones demeanor, but if your spinning why stop! Kind of like his mocking the reporter for his handicap..
He’s sick so in the head. Leaders Don’t behave that way. It’s a trait of small minds.
Your definition of fool and mine are not the same.
I’m going to be perfectly blunt with you.
If anyone made a fool of themselves, it was Ted Cruz in Iowa when he blew up his campaign.
That is what making a fool out of yourself looks like.
#288 jealous and butthurt. Nice.
#289 it’s rumored. Private contract...go ask megyn if you must know
The sick ones here quote out of context endlessly like broken records. No one likes a broken record. Carly is not speaking out against Trump. She is just fine. Who here ever thought she had a chance to be potus? Not going to happen.
No, no. A real fool is someone that sees a bogus poll showing himself in the lead for the first time and immediately runs to the nearest microphone to declare himself the new frontrunner. Someone would have to be a complete idiot to show their ass like that.
She needs to negotiate a better rumor. You should stop posting lies. Who do you support again?
#294 So because you have no chance of winning or you are handicapped it’s open season on your looks or physical handicap? In case you missed it in 3 rd grade, that is the behavior of adolescence or small minds.
I understand now why you support Donnie.
No need for further discussion
Okay jackwagon . I told you it was rumor. You said It was a lie.
Prove it. Site your source that the rumor is wrong.
Come on big mouth post the link!
Who’s the liar? Fool!
Yes. She and Hume are.
