-— He didn’t say that. Get your facts straight -—
If you find a Trump supporter who supplies the direct quote let me know.
Mr. Cruz gave his assessment of the race, lumping Mr. Trump with another candidate whose supporters the Texas senator hopes to poach, Ben Carson.
“Both of them I like and respect,†said Mr. Cruz, according to an audio recording of his comments provided by one attendee. “I don’t believe either one of them is going to be our president.â€
But he added, “You look at Paris, you look at San Bernardino, it’s given a seriousness to this race, that people are looking for: Who is prepared to be a commander in chief? Who understands the threats we face?â€
He went on: “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.â€

He didn't say Trump didn't have the judgment to be president. He said that questions of judgment regarding the nuclear button would be "challenging" for Trump and Carson. In essence, suggesting that voters would need to assess that, not that he has. It is not praising Trump, but neither is it anywhere near the type of anti-Trump statement that it was made out to be by those in the GOPe who are trying to start a food fight. And Trump overreacted with the "maniac" stuff. If Cruz couldn't get along with Jeff Sessions, that would be a problem. Not being able to get McConnell to do what he wants, not so much.
