It's just another reason Trump called him a "pussy". Cruz won't say things like this to his face.

Taking aim at businessman Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz said at a campaign rally Wednesday that too much is riding on the 2016 presidential election to get fooled by a showman that is more bluster than substance...
"We can't be fooled by P.T. Barnum," Mr. Cruz said, alluding to the late founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus. "The time for the clowns and the acrobats and the dancing bears has past."......

I’m not in the least fooled by Donald J. Trump: he’s the very epitome of the anti-social-justice-warrior, and he’s galvanized an entire nation of the like minded who have been desperately waiting for years for a leader who could lead them from the desert of political correctness.
Only a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart! That’s what Trump’s done!
Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t. No one would even be talking about illegal immigration today if Trump hadn’t forced the issue.
The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle. That’s what Trump has done.
Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”. That’s what Trump has done.
Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.
Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb. That’s what Trump has done.
Without Trump taking on the enemedia and beating them, the first time this has been done since Reagan, Cruz and the rest would be quivering before their concerted assaults and spending all of their time apologizing for having accidentally strayed into the shallows of political correctness and saying something Black Lives Matter or the Southern Poverty Law Center hate groups hated with consequent massive amplification by the enemedia as they pounded their PC drums against the GOP. That’s what Trump has done.
Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”. That’s what Trump has done.
After only four state primar elections, Trump has already taken out all but one GOP RINO candidate. That’s what Trump has done.
Trump has used the enemedia against itself, exposed FNC for being Rupert Murdoch’s personal propaganda channel, and made the other cable networks realize they can grow their ratings by playing more fairly. That’s what Trump has done.
Trump has attracted the “big tent” coalition that the GOPe always professed it wanted, but never really did, by appealing equally to all demographic groups, whether they be rich or poor, educated or uneducated, old or young, male or female, blue collar or white collar, north or south, east or west. That’s what Trump has done.
The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs. That’s what Trump has done.
Trump’s coalition of voters have panicked the Senate into growing a backbone and standing up to Obama by refusing to consider any Supreme Court nominee until the next President is in office. That’s what Trump has done.
And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin. That’s what Trump has done.
And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice. That’s what Trump has done.
President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.
So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.
P.T. Barnum was a truly great American actually. Interestingly. he was originally a Democrat but changed to Republican over the slavery issue and then served four terms in the Connecticut legislature and 1 term as the mayor of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
A voice of reason. Thank you
“Oh, is Cruz dumping Glenn Beck?”
I heard Ted was waiting for Beck to finish his fast before dumping him.
NBC bought the rights to it and is holding it for the most opportune time.
Sure, Trump has Faux Snooze and Joe and Mika all orgasmic at his presence, but the media a job to do and that is to destroy the Republican in favor of the demoncrap.
They will work to make him look way worse than Hillary staring prison in the face.
Cruz needs to be careful. Statements like this will backfire. His criticism must stay with facts - must be measured and without emotion. He cannot compete with Donald in the arena of insults.
More than hinting that perhaps his contributions to veteran is not what he says it is.
Cavuto questioned him numerous times about what kind of information he has to say such a thing. He had his staff call Trump immediately after the interview to respond to the accusations. Still waiting for Trumps response.
Rubio’s spouting the same kind of crap.
“We can’t be fooled by P.T. Barnum,” Mr. Cruz said,
******************
And my guess is the voters won’t be fooled by the Canadian/Cuban either.
I’ll take P.T. Barnum over Elmer Gantry any day.
Lol. I can laugh at that but you croozers are such Sore Loozers lol
You are a genius. Thank you.
If Cruz drops out CW will be looking for a paycheck from Trump’s camp. LOL!
Breathtakingly despicable.
LOL!
Cruz will lose.
It's just another reason Trump called him a "pussy". Cruz won't say things like this to his face.
