Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said Monday that the Republican party is breaking its pledge to stay neutral while pouncing on GOP rivals who attacked him at a weekend debate.
“I have never met people like politician. They are the most dishonest people I have ever met,†the New York billionaire said during a stop at Mount Pleasant hotel on Monday. “They lie, lie, lie and then they apologize.".....
Trump suggested that the Republican National Committee was not honoring a pledge to not hurt his campaign if the businessman promised not to mount a third-party presidential run.
Trump was booed several times during the Republican presidential debate Saturday in Greenville for criticizing other candidates. Trump said the debate audience was stacked with lobbyists and big Republican donors.
“I signed a pledge,†Trump said. “But the pledge is not being honored by them. ... They are in default of their pledge.â€
Trump, the winner of the New Hampshire primary last week, spent most of his speech to several hundred spectators going after U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, his closest rival in South Carolina.
He blasted Cruz for distorting his stance on the Second Amendment during the debate. Cruz has said Trump would erode gun ownership laws if elected, while Trump calls himself the biggest gun rights advocate in the race.
“I think he’s an unstable person,†Trump said of Cruz.
Trump called Cruz a “bad liar†who stole the Iowa caucus when the senator’s volunteers spread rumors about GOP candidate Ben Carson leaving the race. Cruz won while Trump finished second.

Internal polling of Bush PAC shows Cruz and Trump in a statistical tie in South Carolina. Howard Kurtz was reporting on it.

-— Well, Cruz has been saying that if Trump is elected that would be the end of 2nd amendment rights. -—
Because Trump will be appointing justices to the Supreme Court; Trump has stated that he would appoint his liberal sister; and Cruz believes that we’re one justice away from a ruling “overturning” the second amendment.
You can excuse that anyway you want, but it is more than enough reason for concern.
Moreover, Trump has demonstrated no understanding of the Constitution. He may mention some future SCOTUS candidates, but it is most probable that someone is speaking in his ear. Who? And will someone else be speaking in his ear tomorrow?
“Wait.... wait... wait. He is forgetting about Hillary! He met her in person a few times.”
Probably at fundraisers for her.
Since you mentioned Carson, how could his campaign just mess up reporting that news to CNN or anyone else is beyond crazy (and dumb). Perhaps they just trusted CNN to report it correctly? But someone somewhere should be seriously thinking how wise it was to leak news to the press and not make sure it gets covered better than it was. Released to CNN reporter that reports it on his twitter account but forgot to initially report that Carson was definitely not dropping out. He soon later corrected that mistake on his twitter account (w/ 33k followers) but CNN has started speculating on air without mentioning that Carson is not dropping out (it was hours before they corrected it on the air).
Carson could of handled this better on his end too. But not once does Carson admit this, not once. Instead he plays the victim like he (or his campaign) had no part in it whatsoever.
Trump is pro-abortion
What is he? He said he was pro-abortion (that it was a NY values thing). At first he was for shutting down Planned Parenthood, but after being attacked he folded and says he didn't know they do other valuable services. Now he says he is pro-life but would just defund part of the money going to planned parenthood that was advocated for abortion (like you could do that).
Not true at all. Trump has said Hillary was the worst SofS in history and that she belongs in prison, that what she did was far worse than what General Petraeus did. He also criticized Slick Willie for his treatment of women and threw that back at Hillary when she tried to play the "woman card" on Trump.
You are waaaay behind on the news and the facts, like most all Cruz followers.
Thanks for the link. Kurtz was calling this yesterday but I was skeptical until Trump came out in "crazy" mode this morning.
The problem for Cruz is he is a horrible liar and comes off nasty in the process. I thought Canadians were supposed to be a kind people.
You have about the same level of appreciation for the facts as Ted Cruz (little or none). Trump named two judges he considered good SCOTUS nominees Saturday night.
Trump bragging on his sister long before he decided to run for president is irrelevant and it's silly to even bring it up. And he never said he'd appoint her. Like most, you conveniently overlooked the fact that he did name two he considered to be good choices Saturday night.
You’re right, there is no need for histrionics if there is a comfy 22 point lead. Trump’s internal poling must be showing that the gap is closing as well.
Seems to me that CNN not saying Carson was dropping out might be the first clue.
Did CNN announce Carson was withdrawing from the race? No.
CNN reported Carson was returning to Florida after the event.
Cruz’ team jumped the gun, ooops.
As for Trump, from what you posted you know what his position is. So does Ted.
I’ll agree that Cruz is not a bad liar, after all he is/was DEFINITELY LYING about the Gang-of-Eight Bill, either in 2013 when he said he really, really, wanted it to pass as he was attempting to insert his amendment. Or just recently when he said that amendment was just a poison pill intended to prevent its passage (i.e., thereby saying that what he said in 2013 about wanting it to pass was a bunch of lies). It is one or the other...and it is a lie.
Even so, in my book, clearly, RUBIO IS THE BIGGEST LIAR, as he PROMISED no Amnesty, used the Tea Party to get elected, and then almost immediately joined the Gang-of-Eight.
So, to make some of the Trump haters happy, for once - I DISAGREE with Trump - Rubio is a worse liar.
“Won’t you regale us with how “Bush lied!!!†or some of the other leftard nonsense that vomited out of your idol’s blowhole the other night? That getting a little embarrassing to try and tote?”
I like Trump, I also like Cruz... I don’t like Bush - any of them.
It’s not a “birther issue”, we know where he was born. The question is how the “new” USSC rule on the NBC question.
Trump supports gun rights,ban of muslim of immigration and kicking illegal aliens out ? And somehow hes a rino?
The FR has largely descended to “if you disagree with me you are a liar, stupid, evil, traitor, etc” attitudes. Much like the HuffPost or DailyKos. Well done.
Trump's like a big spoiled brat cry baby saying childish, over-emotional exaggerated things like this.
Do not change titles
And Mitch McConnell!
You don't have to believe ever lie the media pumps out.
Oh? I thought that was title of the post not of the story. Sorry about that. Technically that was closer to the title of the video than the story itself, O well. I’ll know next time, as I very rarely post a new topic.
Apparently showing him losing his lead are accurate he melts down and starts throwing rocks it is all he knows how to do.
Hey Trump stop being a pussy, enough with the threats of a lawsuit, either Cowboy up and file the suit or just STFU.
Trump is looking like the pussy. a bully with no balls.
