Donald Trump: Ted Cruz 'Is Like a Little Baby'
CNN/Gant Daily ^ | 1 hour ago | staff

Posted on 02/23/2016 2:40:15 PM PST by drewh

Donald Trump on Tuesday called his GOP presidential rival Ted Cruz “a baby” as he dug in on his attacks against the Texas senator, one day after calling Cruz “sick.”

“I’ve met much tougher people than Ted Cruz. He is like a baby compared to some of the people I have to deal with. He is like a little baby: soft, weak, little baby by comparison,” Trump said at a campaign rally in Sparks, Nevada, after slamming Cruz yet again as “the single biggest liar I have ever dealt with.”

Trump later added, “I’d like to really win in Texas. Wouldn’t that be great? I love Texas. I love Texas. And I think now that (Cruz) has exposed himself as a nasty person who lies a lot, I think he’s going to go way, way down in Texas. So I think we have a shot in Texas.”

A message left with the Cruz campaign seeking comment was not immediately returned.

Trump has leveled an unrelenting barrage of personal attacks against Cruz, calling him everything from “unstable” to a “basket case” and accusing him of lying while also touting the Bible.

The attacks come as Cruz and his allies have laid into Trump’s stances on a number of issues important to conservatives, from Trump’s use of eminent domain laws for personal gain to the New York billionaire’s past support of abortion rights and additional gun control measures.

Trump has since changed his positions on abortion and gun rights.

And while Cruz’s ads use Trump’s own words against him, Trump has accused him of playing dirty.

The latest attack is reminiscent of Trump’s line of attack against former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, whom Trump branded as “low energy” over months of campaigning.

But with Bush now out of the race, Trump is looking for space to fill in his stump speech, which previously included multiple references to Bush’s “weak” nature — an effective foil for Trump’s brashness on the campaign trail.

He hinted at a potential target on Tuesday when he said “Marco Rubio is a nice young man.”

“He hasn’t hit me. No, no, no, he has not hit me. When he hits me, ugh, is he going to be hit. Actually, I can’t wait,” Trump said. “I hope he does (get nasty) because it’s more fun.”

I think a lot of freepers have left or bowed out for a while because, really, the abuse from the frenzied herd of Trump zombies was hard to take.

It was unrelenting.

They never responded to anything with comments of substance but contented themselves with personal abuse of Cruz supporters.

I get it on the Rush Limbaugh thread almost every day.

Bush did smile when he told us Islam was the religion of peace.

Well, yeah, Trump is afraid of Megyn.

But Megyn is Mean. And Scary.

Look at all the young socialist hordes for Bernie, and give up on having any long run.
I’m not investing in their future.

Might as well have fun now, for tomorrow we are sunk.

When you see him on TV do you want to run to your safe space?

Trump runs to his safe space whenever he sees Megyn Kelly.

“If you haven’t already done so, check out how Trump acquired his winery. This type property manipulation is what he has in mind as president to the benefit of Trump Enterprises. That is why he wants one of his sons in charge of the bureau of land management and doesn’t want to return land to the states.”

Interesting. Might explain why he wants land to stay with the Feds.

He’s counting his land rights before he’s elected.

Pray he is not.

Most church people are hypocrites anyway????""""....

At least they know where they belong. We are all sinners and no Christian disputes that fact, but we are forgiven sinners who ask for FORGIVENESS every day.

But then seems some professed Christians don't need forgiveness....seems like

I, too have wondered if Trump wasn’t a plant by the clintons.

Trumpelthinskin.

LOL!

Maybe he can get Robert Carlyle to play him in the biopic. Carlyle is an Orange Rumplestiltskin in the series Once Upon A Time, AND he's a fellow Scot, like the Orange One...

I agree Rubio is really a downer. He is running ads in TX saying he is a conservative. Haaaa.

Like you, initially I felt I could vote for Trump if Cruz did not make it, but changed my mind when the grade-school stuff kept coming out towards Jeb. It reached too far for normalcy even though I would never vote for Jeb.

I’m just praying for mercy for this country and the good Americans who love it.

You know who the ‘good ones’ are, don’t you?

They’re the ones who’ll work for Trump properties at low wages.

Levin said Trump is becoming the Morton Downey Jr. of politics.
