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€
Link Jackwagon. Come on waiting!
Anytime Jackwagon!
Wellllllllll we’re waiting!
Again, you don’t understand how it was meant in his heart, nor except his explanation because you feel better judging. You may want to work on that. Peace.
Cruz supporters rock!
No, he meant the Clinton’s. He dealt with them by writing them checks.
He knows how to make a deal.
10 minutes and that’s the best you have? Nice deflection.. Best not go around making unsubstanciated allegations deary.
It is pretty disgusting how he talks and how it must make him feel like a bad ass when he does this. He talk like this to Putin ole Vlad will stick a nuke up his butt and light the fuse.
Count the minutes until the Nevada results come in. As for rest, whatever. Seriously jackwagon? Sounds gay.
I cannot argue with that statement.
Noted.
It would be nice if FR could get off the same jag sometimes, too. The mocking will immediately come down about some unfortunate lefty’s cause “oh poor widdle snowflake” just on PRINCIPLE, not even looking at the “snowflake’s” situation. Because, ya know, they just GOTTA be wrong and they GOTTA pull themselves up by bootstraps and somehow earn their help.
What on earth happened to the conservative idea of evaluating everything on its merits.
I’ve no idea what you are referring to.
But no, a real fool is someone who runs for the evangelical vote almost exclusively and then reveals himself to be liar, an opportunist, and a trickster.
Ted kneecapped himself in Iowa.
He’s done a few things since he was elected in 2012 that personally make me think he is not what he portrays himself as.
And yep, Trump hasn’t run a perfect campaign either, and he’s a flawed man, but he’s been considerably more effective than Cruz in campaigning, which is eye opening considering that Cruz has been doing this longer and has more experience.
not I... I doubt he will be President but it won’t be because of me. If he is the same as Hillary and Bernie, what difference does it make.
Go take a long sprint off a short boardwalk.
I have to agree with you on this one. TRUMP is depicable and for those here who support him and look the other way at this behavior , it makes me question a lot of their “ conservatism” in the first place.
okay!! LET’S GET SERIOUS! WHAT was CRUZ CRYBABYING ABOUT?
ISN’T THIS A ELECTION ISSUE???? how about he was TALKING about a ISSUE???
ARE YOU ALL NUTS???
So do I. She looks like a dude.
Oh, I get it. tRumpsters...like Rump. LOL, Hilarious!!! Quite the knee slapper!!! Keep ‘em coming, chief!
Are you saying you recommend that I hurt myself! Would that make you feel better. Nice christian values there, you may want to update your about page. Are you trying to be clever? Either way, it’s a fail. You’re fired.
