You're keying on the wrong part of Trump's criticism.
Trump used the word maniac to describe Cruz's behavior in the senate. That's similar to the way McConnell, McCain, Lindsey Graham, Harry Reid and Big Media has described Cruz's behavior in the Senate.
Trump's attack is from the left.
The templet seems to fit their narrative, the leftist in support of Trump have stealthy infiltrated Free Republic and taken over FR and polluted the waters here on Free Republic.
Many have drunken the Trump YUUGIE Koolaid.
Glad America and Free Republic is waking up to what Trump really is.
Cruz did alienate his colleagues.
