CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz ramped up his attacks against GOP rival Donald Trump on Tuesday, accusing the billionaire businessman of having "New York values" and questioning his foreign policy credentials.

It was the latest round in an escalating rivalry between the two outsider candidates, who are locked in a virtual tie in polls in the early-voting state of Iowa. Cruz's sharper rhetoric shows that the detente between the two has ended as they fight to win over voters less than a month before the state's kick-off caucuses.

Yes. People say they are surprised Trump is pretty quiet at the debates. Having watched him I don’t think he has as much knowledge as the average FReeper. I am counting on Maria to ask him some good questions Thursday.
It looks to me like Cruz has decided this is the time to take DT out. With the truth and a smile. Yeah!

You should ask yourself if Mercer the Hedge Fun billionaire funding or owns Teddy can make billions if Ethanol goes away ?/p>

Teddy is owned by Mercer and few other Billionaires .
His Ethanol stance is based on his owners financial interest and nothing more

Did so. Insinuated Donald Trump was not capable... or worse.. of controlling the Nuclear “button.’ Flat out inferred he did not trust Trump OR Carson with nuclear weapons.
Cruz doesn’t care about our sovereignty. He is anything BUT a conservative.

It is too funny. Trumpskis think that it is important to vet Cruz’s birth, because the dems will surely bring it up, but they fail to remember there are 40 years of Trump antics the dems are just salivating over. They will most certainly hold their fire until it counts.

Then we will be exposed to non stop ads against the National Enquirer candidate that claims to be a Republican.

“Thousands of hours of tape on DT. They’ll be arguing about what has to be left out.”

There are Cruz’s votes for the Obama agenda out there, too. There are Trump’s comments versus Cruz’s votes. I don’t think Cruz will get too bold. There is a debate coming up.

It is clear you don’t know the meaning of the word conservative.

DU is calling, they want their dictionary back.

Cruz won’t do a damn thing except play along in typical political-lawyer style and politics will rule him. He’s weak and I don’t trust him.

“Cruz destroys Trump on substance.”

That’s good.

Who brought the substance of illegal immigration into the campaign? Who called for a ban on Muslim immigration? Who told political correctness to go to hell? etc.

Are these rhetorical questions or do you already have what you believe is an answer?

“People say they are surprised Trump is pretty quiet at the debates.”

People say? Who’s “people”.

People with stop watches have documented that Trump has the most air time in most of the debates.

Try again with your TDS.

Weak move on Ted’s part questioning NY values. Trump’s NY values enabled him to create a $10B company and positioned him well to do battle with the Clinton’s and liberals. Speaking of foreign policy, I would guess that Ted is an expert on Canadian-American relations.

Trump really hasn’t attacked Cruz. He brought up a legitimate question about someone who was born in Canada to a non-citizen father and a citizen mother. That’s all. If Cruz considers that an attack well hold on...

I might accept what you say if it weren't for all the simultaneous astroturf. Calculated. Attack.
