Ted Cruz laid into Donald Trump with his most personal and toughest criticism since the GOP presidential campaign began, calling him a "pathological liar" on Tuesday who doesn't understand the difference between the truth and lies.
Cruz prefaced his comments by saying that for the first time, he wanted to say exactly what he thought of Trump after the front-runner suggested Cruz's father might have had something to do with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The Texas senator accused Trump of being both disingenuine and self-aggrandizing, saying Trump was a "narcissist" at a level "I don't think this country has ever seen." "Donald Trump is such a narcissist that Barack Obama looks at him and says, 'Dude, what's your problem?' " Cruz said.
“Whatever lie he’s telling, in that minute he believes it, Cruz added. "But the man is utterly amoral. Morality does not exist for him.”

“It’s why he went after Heidi directly, attacked her and smeared her," Cruz said. "Heidi isn’t pretty enough for him. ... Donald is a bully. ... Bullies don’t come from strength, they come from weakness. ... There’s a reason Donald builds giant buildings and puts his name on them everywhere he goes."
"Donald has a real problem with women," Cruz continued.
He then noted that Trump defended boxer Mike Tyson, who was convicted in Indiana on rape charges, and told Trump's supporters they should not believe their favored candidate.
"Donald is cynically exploiting that anger, and Donald is lying to his supporters," he said. He went on to insist Trump would betray his them by not doing what he promises, including his pledge to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Cruz's all-out assault suggested his campaign might be nearing its breaking point.

Hey Cruz, don’t you have a used car lot down in tejas to run? Maybe you can get your buddies mittens or JEB to give you some pointers on how to bullshit people out of their money and votes.
Face it, Ted. You lost.
So was Cruz’s Dad hanging around in the same organization Oswald was in prior to the assassination?
Why don’t simply ask Cruz’s Dad and see what he says?
I actually fear for the Cruz family--Heidi and, especially, the two girls. They don't deserve this. Hopefully Raphael Eduardo Cruz can come down from this safely and reconnect with reality once he finally realizes it is over, he lost, no one wants him as president and, besides, even he knows he is a Canadian natural born citizen, not an American one.
Over today, please.
And more of us prefer him than prefer the other Rs.
If only we had as many articles analyzing why so many republican voters are disgusted with the party as we have articles analyzing why the party is disgusted with Trump and his voters.
The GOPe may learn some useful things if they look at themselves instead of attacking the voters and the preferred candidate. If they need help getting started they can look at what voters expected from the 2015 Congress vs what we got and see if the path the 2016 Congress is on is getting in line with voter wishes. If there have been changes this year they need to start yelling about all of their accomplishments because from what I can tell there’s no improvement. If they haven’t changed they should stop attacking voters until they start doing what voters want.

under observation in a psychiatric wing somewhere”
Cruz is behaving as if he is mentally ill. No question about it. He is also lying like a rug, and the lies are getting more bizarre.
He’s really, really p***** that Trump said he would have to think about Cruz for USSC....Because that was likely his great hope after this loss.

There is no one running for POTUS right now that I could vote for w/o having to go to confession afterwards.
I want to see the good people of Texas recall this asshole.
He’s right about one thing - Donald is about as big a narcissist as we could imagine. No dispute there.
I used to really like Cruz, gave money to his campaign. By now everyone knows I’m on the Trump Train BIG TIME! Ted’s rant, in all fairness, came out because of the attack on his father, so I give him so room on his reaction. But he really blew it today, I mean really blew it! You could see it on Carly’s face when they showed her! Today was his final straw that broke his back. The undecided will break for Trump for the rest of the day. It needed to be done, there is no stopping Trump! It’s going to take years for all the Never Trump people to recover, I feel bad! But it needed to be done, and now I think it will be for sure!
At the beginning of the primary campaigning, I was a Cruz supporter, but the campaign has really smoked out who Cruz really is, deep down.
Being a desperate, sore loser is a really ugly thing.
“Cruz: Trump is an ‘utterly amoral’ bully, narcissist, pathological liar”
Not the kind of guy I’d be comfortable with having his finger on The Button.
In contrast, he’s been quite polite to the Fraud currently in office.
Projection much? Coming from the guy who can ‘t mathematically reach the number of votes needed.... yet is staying in the race, announced a vice president, and is introducing his wife as the next first lady....
Ted is off the rails.
When Teddy went leftist goon and blamed Trump regarding Chicago, it was clear there was no low he wouldn’t go to.
And still hasn’t reached the bottom though he’s trying.
What a scumbag Ted Cruz is. Please get him out of gov’t as soon as possible.

There really isn’t a need to compare. I didn’t. If you think Trump isn’t a narcissist, then you’re either wearing dark colored rose glasses or you don’t know what narcissism means.
Trump did NOT connect Cruz’s father to the assassination...
He connected Cruz’s father to Lee Harvey Oswald and the Fair Play for Cuba organization, which is true...Even admitted to by Cruz’s father...
