Ted Cruz unloaded on his rival Donald Trump after the real estate mogul accused him of voter fraud over Twitter. "I wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing Donald has tweeted," said Cruz, calling Wednesday’s outburst a "Trumpertantrum" brought on by Trump's inability to "debate the substance."
On Wednesday morning, Trump sent out a series of tweets demanding the caucus results in Iowa be nullified due to what he claimed was voter fraud perpetrated by the Cruz campaign. In particular, Trump singled out reports that the Cruz campaign told voters during the caucus Dr. Ben Carson had dropped out of the race, causing some of them to switch to Cruz.
At a press conference before a meeting with voters in Goffstown, New Hampshire, the new frontrunner in the Republican race pulled no punches. "It is no surprise that Donald is throwing yet another temper tantrum – or if you like, another Trumpertantrum," Cruz said. "It seems his reaction to everything is to throw a fit, and I understand that Donald finds it very hard to lose. But at the end of the day, the people of Iowa spoke."
"There's a reason that Donald engages in insult after insult - because he can't debate the substance," Cruz continued. "He doesn't actually want to talk about issues."
The Texas senator wasn't done. "Donald's insults get more and more hysterical the more and more upset he gets," Cruz said. "I think they're very funny. I wake up every day and laugh at the latest thing Donald has tweeted." He questioned Trump's temperament for the job of commander-in-chief, saying "we're liable to wake up one day and Donald, as president, will have nuked Denmark."
"You know, my girls are five and seven," Cruz said. "And I got tell you, Caroline and Catherine are better behaved than a presidential candidate who insults people every day." The line drew cheers and huge applause from the assembled New Hampshirites waiting to meet him.
Asked whether Cruz planned to fire the staffers accused of misleading Iowa caucus-goers, the senator demurred. "This is not a campaign that scapegoats our staffers, that holds someone out and fires them for political purposes," he told a reporter. "And I would note that the news story we passed on was true and accurate . . . is it a dirty trick to pass on your news stories?"
“Cruz and his cocky attitude”
Coming from someone who supports an egotistical blowhard like Donald Trump. Pot meet kettle.
OK that’s enough. I’m a little tired of this.
The subject here is Trump vs. Cruz, no? “Citizen of the World” Obama does not even qualify to be President, despite his well-mannered disposition.
I did, that’s how I knew.
Don’t know when you changed or if you even did.
But one thing for sure, it was before your alleged epiphany that occured because of the Carson thing.

This thread with a detailed timeline casts doubt on your interpretation.
In the unlikely event that some 3rd party is reading this exchange, feel free to click my name, click my posting history, then control+F and search my comments for the words "Cruz" and "Trump" to see everything I have said in reference to either of them.
A little more clarification for your timeline.

Actually that’s not true .. Cruz has flip flopped on immigration and trade ... he will sell us out if he gets elected . Cruz has been stellar on the gun issue , which I do appreciate ... I was impressed when he shredded DiFi and her Senate buddies on the gun issue
“Telling the world Carson dropped out.....Is this stuff really acceptable to his voters? If so, why?”
OK, so now Cruz has to answer for every tweet from every campaign member, yet Trump can call Ben Carson a child molester and that is OK.
It must be nice to have history start fresh every morning.
“Her’s what Cruz’s daughter thinks of him...”
So, a young girl is tired and grumpy with all of the travel and attention, so she flicks her finger at her dad......
You think that is creepy?
I think Trump calling his daughter HOT is even creepier. He was really one step below boasting about a desire for incest......
That IS creepy.
Trump doesn’t debate because he is not doing his homework on the issues. He has developed no platform so that we can know where he stands on issues. First he is against Obama care....then he’s on the stump and claims there should be free health care for all. Trump is not ready for prime time. He is not a serious candidate. It’s a shame, because he talks a good game, but there is no there there.
Why would you have taken your moniker if you hate ammendment so much?
Well said. And it will be his last victory. You can bank on it
I am glad that you noticed moniker. =^)
Yes, Trump is a constitutionally low-information candidate imo. But Trump is also a quick-study. So his patriot supporters should be able to get Trump up to speed with the federal governments constitutionally limited powers in no time.
I look forward to Trump using his negotiating skills to support Congresss Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3) by working great deals with foreign countries, bringing jobs back to the USA, and also rebuilding the military.
So, its acceptable for a voice mail to go to 1,500 precinct captains telltin them to get Carson caucus goers to vote for Cruz and not Carson because he has dropped out? That can change election outcomes, cant it?
It must be great to wake up every morning supporting a campaign that doesn’t give a d@mn about what they do in stealing votes.
