One day after a report that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned Donald Trump's "judgement" in a private event, Trump called out Cruz for criticizing him behind close doors but refraining from negative comments in public.
Looks like @tedcruz is getting ready to attack. I am leading by so much he must. I hope so, he will fall like all others. Will be easy!
.@tedcruz should not make statements behind closed doors to his bosses, he should bring them out into the open - more fun that way!
Cruz has so far refrained from bashing Trump in public. After Trump announced his proposal to ban Muslims from coming to the United States, Cruz disagreed but stopped short of condemning Trump's remarks.
But the Texas senator spoke about Trump and Ben Carson during a Manhattan fundraiser on Wednesday, according to the New York Times.
"Who am I comfortable having their finger on the button? Now that’s a question of strength, but it’s also a question of judgment. And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for both of them," Cruz said of Trump and Carson.
Cruz has started gaining on Trump in the key primary state of Iowa, which may be making Trump uneasy. The real estate mogul has a habit of attacking his Republican rivals when they rise in the polls, as both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal noted this week. Trump may have released his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country in an attempt to boost his support with evangelical voters in Iowa.

Poor Donnie-boy!
Oh, please. That’s just silly.
.
Why would he not stand behind his remarks?
They make good sense, as Trump continues to fall with informed voters.
Oh! - I see, you’re the cognitively impaired troll.
Well, Jane, I’ll never be able to live up to the twistiness of you Trump supporters. I’m in awe.
<< Trump did not start this. >>>
Exactly!
This had to come, and Trump let Cruz choose the hour.
Like “High Noon”.
<<< Or Trump could man up and say what’s on his mind. >>>
I think he just did.
What you say is true, “but”. Trump is teaching manners. He is giving a little tutorial on being open and public if you are going to challenge the judgment of an opponent.
If it leaks out and this did, there’s a price to be paid. Trump is giving Cruz a heads up, for the future, but has little need to punch down, since he is the front runner and is smoking the field.

That link is too funny.
Nice find. :)
It’s funny, you just never know which comment will get a lot of return comments. Thank you for a polite one!
Trump didnt hand out teddy bears to illegals at the border with Glenn Beck. He’s anti PC and that where im voting.
Yes, and I would venture to say that your attachment to Reagan is of a different variety, not characterized by hysteria or hero-worship. It's a more mellow, sensible thing.
Bottom line, for me to support Trump would require me to completely ignore the man's past and everything he's ever said up until the point he declared his run. It makes no logical sense to do so, and I'm not about to.
Yeah, that’s another reason to stick with Cruz-—I want an adult in the White House.
You’re so welcome, lol.
