Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump just put rival Ted Cruz on notice: Get too hot and I'll have to take you down.
Describing the senator from Texas as "nice and supportive," Trump told CNBC’s "Squawk Box" on Monday that the two candidates have similar ideas on many of the issues, including border security and the need for a wall to keep out illegal immigrants.
"[But] If he catches on, I guess we'll have to go to war," Trump said of Cruz, who's seen a bit of a bump nationally and in the early contest states of Iowa and New Hampshire since last week's Republican debate.

“We despise Trump”
See, Jane, you and I were spot on. They have an irrational HATRED for Trump. They probably don’t HATE Hillary, but the only candidate that will deport the illegals, send the Syrians back, and is not beholden to a single donor - they HATE.
pretty mental
You’re blind to reality; sadly.
"Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."
I had to watch while Cruz's sycophants trashed the reputation of Scott Walker.
Now I have to watch while Trump and his sycophants trash the reputation of Cruz and Carson.
Celebrity Execs work like that. Go back and look and at the support that Arnold Schwarzenegger had here.
“Because some kind of gentlemen’s agreement or truce was in place, as evident in no negative comments between the two.”
That’s why Cruz isn’t beating Trump?
You’re not keeping up with the flow. You’re just making up a thread so you could bash Trump. classy /s
Calpublican: You miss the appeal of Trump...first candidate out of the box with the courage to call illegal immigration for what it is...nobody else did..he has led consistently on this issue since Day 1...the only candidate that is for putting the American worker first, and by extension all Americans. Has been consistently against TPP from it’s inception. The only candidate talking about reforming the VA and supporting our vets. Is for a full repeal of Obamacare, for tax reform, and has been a solid supporter of 2A issues. Trump is running on a strong conservative platform.
I like Ted. Ted is a solid conservative and would be a good President. However, from a leadership perspective, this is no contest. The anti-Trump crowd gets wrapped up in either minor issues like Trump’s past support of Kelo or fixates on his 8 year stint as a Democrat in the 2000’s. Our country is falling apart. I could care less if Trump was advocating for eminent domain as a businessman. My government practices eminent domain against me every day. They steal my wages, they steal my privacy, they steal my retirement, they are stealing my kids’ futures, they are trying to steal my right to self defense. If anyone wants to get upset about some buildings and highways, so be it. As for Trump being a Democrat for a time, who cares? He is running as a conservative now. He can govern like one and be a great president, or he can govern against how he campaigned and he’ll be a one termer...If he builds the damn wall, throws out the illegals and creates jobs he’ll be considered a great President. But if one can claim Trump will not govern as a conservative, I can give counterpoints as to how Ted will not exactly govern as a conservative. H1 Visas, he sidesteps what he will do with the 30 million illegals here, Corker bill, TPP, funded by Hedgefunds and Super PACs. And Jane Long is right, let Ted meet a payroll. Ted is at heart a lawyer and therefore by definition he is slick and not to be trusted. It’s great to give speeches on the floor and have nobody follow you. Getting something done and leading is quite another.
Whatever... Keep your Hilary supporting candidate as far as I am concerned. I can recognize a trojan horse when I see it;
Scary, in fact.
They’ve lost all sense of decency.
Your points are spot on.
They really have NO real reason to “HATE” Trump, but they do;irrationally so.
Well stated! As usual.
Trump talks well, but actually he just talks off the top of his head. But Cruz’s performance in the debate showed that he can handle anyone the dems throw at him. Trump is unproven in the political world, both campaign and DC
sometimes I wonder if Trump is just messing with us
Over hundreds of high-risk deals, Trump failed a total of 4 times. That’s 2 or 3%.
Have you done well at anything high risk, with a 97% success rate?
Or do you have a cushy government job where you can’t be fired even if you play with model trains all day, so the concept of how private enterprise works befuddles you?
Trump hasn't said one "bad" thing about Cruz and during the primaries, all candidates say bad things about the others....even the vaunted Reagan !
And in the same paragraph you state that Cruz "would be a good president" I am getting pretty use to Trumpets talking out both sides of their mouth.
“I can recognize a trojan horse when I see it;”
Trump saw the Trojan horse in the refugees from the very beginning.
Great, diplomatic post, usafa92.
I’m to the point where I’ve lost patience in dealing with the deranged comments of those suffering the most, from TDS.
It’s a shame that’s who Cruz has supporting him, here. (If, in fact they really do support him. They’re doing him no favors.)
The presidential race is being run right now in the GOPe primary. Democrat/socialists know they are not going to win.
And jumps into his Delorean and returns back from time as his 1999 self.
Are you kidding?
