After months of responding to Donald Trump's attacks by deflecting them, joking about them or just plain ignoring them, Ted Cruz struck back late Tuesday with a stream of pointed criticism directed at the GOP front-runner.
At events in New Hampshire and in radio interviews, Cruz took direct aim at Trump on several fronts: tying the billionaire to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, questioning his ability to win a general election, casting doubt on his ability to serve as commander in chief and disputing his "New York values."
The swiftness and ferocity of the attacks is striking for Cruz, who said as recently as Monday that he didn't want to go to war with Trump. The two men are battling for the top spot in polls in Iowa, which host the first-in-the-nation caucuses Feb. 1. Cruz said Tuesday that Trump was clearly feeling the pressure.
Cruz took direct aim at Trump's competence. "Does a potential commander in chief know what the nuclear triad is, much less is he or she prepared and able to strengthen it and keep this country safe?" Cruz asked on "The Hugh Hewitt Show." In a Republican debate last month, Trump was asked about the nuclear triad and had trouble with the explanation.
And he jabbed Trump on the billionaire's cosmopolitan lifestyle. “I think he may shift in his new rallies to playing New York, New York, because Donald comes from New York and he embodies New York values,†Cruz told Carr.

Don’t need opensecrets.org. Keeping up with Cruz and his flip/flops on immigration and trade is intrigue enough.
Let’s STOP using the language of the enemy. It’s not “gay” to shove your dork or fist or whatever up another guy’s crap hole ... It’s called SODOMY ... S-O-D-O-M-Y ... Those who practice such vile acts are SODOMITES. There is nothing “gay” about what these reprobates do with each other. It is God-awful faggotry. Period.
Oh, ok. I thought you were interested in who his big funders are.
Whether he will get the votes remains to be seen.
Do you also like that she thinks Islam has contributed many wonderful thing to the world?
LOL!
It was gonna happen.
There was this huge pile of wood, and gasoline lying all around, officer.
I promise, all I did was light a match!
Never heard of opensecrets.org. Sounded like a conspiracy site. Might take a look at it.
I love you too!
“Face it, Trump has close to 100% name recognition and the general electorate still don’t like the sucker. He has zero upside.”
Wanna bet? Start practicing saying President Trump.
Would not be allowed anyway ... Such an appointment would be an act of nepotism - and there are federal laws against such.
This is a bogus accusation. A Christian is to "turn the other cheek" when it comes to personal vengeance, but at the same time the New Testament upholds the God-given authority of the government to use deadly force in a just cause.
Let me put it this way ... If Iran got lucky - I would not cry for the loss.
“I love you too!”
I’m sorry. My heart is already taken by The Donald, lol. I’m already spoken for.
Going to hear a celebrity entertainer who says outrageous things and going to a polling place as a registered Republican to vote in a Republican primary--those are two different things. We'll see.
Yeah. Ted Cruz is from Mars. He only took on human form to deceive us.
Congress keep him on the straight and narrow? THIS Congress? You’re joking. This Congress is nothing but a collection of certifiable psychopaths and sociopaths. Every last one of them would sell their mothers to the devil, if they could get something in the bargain. This Congress is not worth a pile of steaming bloody hog crap.
Really. When's the last time the South voted for a New York Yankee? or the West?
Did you serve?
Boy, are you in for a surprise ;)
