US Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) on Monday lashed out at Senate colleague and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz (R-Texas) over his support for real-estate mogul and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.
In a tweet on Monday, McCaskill compared Cruz to a "lost puppy" hoping to scoop up Trump's followers if he implodes on the campaign trail.
There's something unseemly about Cruz following Trump around like a lost puppy,hoping to get his leftovers when he finally flames out.

Cruz has recently cozied up to the real-estate magnate. He met with Trump in New York last week. He has been perhaps the most prominent GOP defender of Trump's controversial comments about Mexican immigrants. And on Saturday, he refused to denounce Trump's disparaging comments about Sen. John McCain's (R-Arizona) military record.
Analysts have speculated that Cruz's embrace of Trump is likely part of a larger strategy to tap into the populist rage within the conservative base on which Trump has capitalized.
Politico notes that Trump is likely siphoning away support for Cruz, whose scorched-earth conservative tactics have made him similarly popular with the Republican base at the expense of the his relationship with the GOP establishment. There's lingering resentment from some Republicans in Congress over the 2013 government shutdown that Cruz helped orchestrate.

Ted was there first, for crying out loud
Speaking of dogs...
when MSM brow beat someone, They are afraid of them!!!
That’s just ridiculous. But it is what I have come to expect from the media.
Cruz, Huckabee, Santorum and Jindal are all still on my consideration list. At this point Cruz is winning with me, but I refuse to commit this early.
No one needs to bother preaching at me about who can and cannot win. I will vote for the best person for the job and let the chips fall where they fall. If they don’t win, it will be the fault of those who voted strategy over principles.
Dogs are useful, and smart, and fun to play with.
Claire McCasket, OTOH ...
Stolen any elections lately, Claire?
Shes a lyin’ junkyard dog.
LOL
OH for pete’s sake....can’t you idiotic libs come up with something better than this article....
You have to love Claire. If there’s no mud she will just pee in the dirt and throw it.
Heck, she even manufactured and financed her last opposition candidate to avoid loosing to the mediocre Republicans that would have beaten her.
I just hope he makes the important distinction that he respects that McCain was a POW and endured that time heroically, but that does not excuse all of the harm McCain has done since then.
I like Ted Cruz, a lot. But he has to be a better negotiator and a bit wiser on some issues.
What's wrong with that.
Cruz will emerge at the debates.
That fat old lezbo! Why doesn’t she worry about the other fat lezbo whose numbers are tumbling.
hmm...
As long as Clair has selected dog analogies.....
I guess Cruz is scaring the libtards sh##less...
Cruz is a lawyer, he has said a lot of right things, but I don't fully trust him.
Possibilities:
That’s great, Claire. Did you learn any other rhetorical
devices in the 4th grade or is that your only one?
Claire McCaskill—would know all about it. Throw a stick and she’ll bring it back. The bitch.
