For Donald Trump, in some ways, Ted Cruz "looks like a jerk."
The heated personal rhetoric directed by Trump at Cruz cranked up another few degrees on Tuesday morning, with the Manhattan business mogul unloading on his Republican rival in back-to-back morning show interviews.
...
"He's a liar," Trump said of Cruz, adding, "that's why nobody likes him
...
"He looks like a jerk, he's standing all by himself.
...
Co-host Mika Brzezinski interrupted, asking Trump if he was actually comparing Cruz to President Barack Obama. "Well, they're the same. I think actually, Ted is more strident than Obama, if you want to know the truth...

Amen to that.
Anyone, and I mean anyone who critiques Trump has Trump ranting about him. Trump can’t take criticism. He’s so thin skinned that he looks like a loon attacking these folks. Does he even have issues he can debate or is it all personal attacks. Can he debate ISSUES?
No one talks about how Trump is going to build anything Please remember that we are talking about the US government here.
The last I saw was there is a separation of powers and the President does not write law ..so unless he wants to do it the way Obama is doing things (by regulations..which can be changed) Trump will have to work with the congress to pass legislation to build a wall.
I do not believe he can pull it off, especially since his fort’e is insulting people.
Suppose I am wrong however and lets ay he does get legislation enacted.
Trumps wall will be tied up in courts forever. Last he has to negotiate with Mexico to get them to pay for this ,,,,, How long do you think that takes? ....
In short there isa huge difference between the private sector and the government,
Note :
Can anyone ask Trump how he plans to accomplish what he proposes in the upcoming debates?
please see my post #163
The insults get old seriously.
He’s acting like he’s in the WWF.
Like others said, stick to the issues.
Your post is spot on! I was going to post something similar. For those who really believe Trump will be able to build a wall, send all of the illegals back, stop Muslims from entering the U.S, etc you have another thing coming! You have been sold a bunch of fantasies, rainbows and unicorns...all just to get your vote.
The Cruz ad stated that Trump had destroyed the woman's home. It was a lie. Ever since that ad ran, Trump has hit Cruz hard by calling Cruz a liar. That ad is equal to the Democrat ad of Republicans pushing an elderly woman off a cliff in a wheelchair to symbolize the loss of Social Security.
From all the radio personalities to Cruz fans in this forum... they think it's great for Cruz and his donor PACs to run whatever they want but they get their undies in a wad when Trump hits back. Cruz ran a lie about Trump... so, Trump calls him a liar. And, not only that, the Cruz's didn't put everything they own into his run for the Senate as they claimed - that was a lie and hiding loans from the FEC was a lie. Why shouldn't Trump hit Cruz with all of that?
You can be as infuriated as you want about my vote.
Help yourself.
But.
Your vote is yours.
Mine is mine.
Your infuriation is unentitled.
You have no more rightful designs on my vote as the welfare class does to my wallet.
Embracing Beck seems crazy to me, too, but we may be in crazy-like-a-fox- here territory. Guess we’ll see.
For the record, you have no idea how I’ve voted in past elections, or how I’ll vote if Cruz isn’t the nominee.
Rightly so.
The secret ballot was designed to frustrate your infuriation.
See my post #171 please.
-You can be as infuriated as you want about my vote.-
I am never infuriated about voting, I save my disgust and anger for those who choose not to vote.
Again,I am never infuriated about voting, I save my disgust and anger for those who choose not to vote.
I would call it courage.
I don’t know what happened but he called her “born stupid†and a “dumby.†Not something to say to someone who has put her heart, soul and reputation in pushing conservatism.
Her latest book is titled..”Sold Out: How High-Tech Billionaires & Bipartisan Beltway Crapweasels Are Screwing America’s Best & Brightest Workers.â€
Does that sound like someone who is born stupid...or leaves any doubt about her conservative views....No, you just can’t go around called decent people names and it be OK.
-Make an argument, not an assertion.-
The assertion you are referring to?
Hey he wouldn’t be the first to do so, the GOPE has done so since 1988. More power to him if he thinks he can get two for one crossover votes. Like I said I could vote for Trump and politics is a blood sport, but him and his supporters behaving like liberal aholes toward conservatives is just stupid politics and makes it less likely. This winning without the base sounds like a Jeb Bush fantasy.
The far left is not going to vote for him period. He will get some crossovers and some independents but does he get enough to make up for the loses he potentially could be seeing from the conservative base? I think he is deluding himself if he thinks he can tell the conservatives to go to hell and still win the whole thing.
It demeans all of us.
That was not my point.
Again, my point is...Malkin attacked Trump FIRST.
If she is so smart, why did she not expect a counter-punch?
And by the way, I have always enjoyed watching her on TV.
