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.â€
“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.â€
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.â€
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.â€
“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.â€
... and some day you CRUZ haters will decry the day you started stoning him!!!! Count on it!!!
oh, don’t be silly...he’s supposed to turn from orange to BLUE.
:)
He is like a little baby: soft, weak, little baby
What an interesting concession ;-/

Why is Trump trying to completely destroy Ted Cruz? Why the continued character assassination of one of our most conservative Senators? Why does he make it so personal? It makes it really hard for me to muster enough trust in Trump to ever give him my vote.
I am sure he has a mental disorder...we are in for a rocky ride if this man gets into the oval office.
My tolerance of Donald Trump is nearly exhausted.
If a wise man has an argument with a fool, the fool only rages and laughs, and there is no quiet.
- Proverbs 29:9
self projection.
He is with the establishment! TRUMP IS THE ESTABLISHMENT... the media love him and I think in truth the establishment do too....but they HATE CRUZ because he stands for the Constitution and CONSERVATIVE VALUES.... sad that FREE REPUBLIC doesn’t see that any more.
lol and TRUE
Levin et al can’t make up their mind, “No more politicians!” Guess what? Trump’s not a politician. Make up your freakin’ minds.
So when is the Clown Prince of Manhattan going tell us that Ted’s mother wears army boots?
Says the crybully.
But to answer your other question..yes he is full of bull.
Rolling on the floor here! It is just too rich for Trump to say this about Cruz. It doesn’t seem like I can turn on the TV without seeing Trump on the screen, whining and complaining about various mistreatment from the media or other candidates. Actually, I’ve never seen such a whiny baby as Trump.
Surprised he hasn’t gone after GOD yet....but who knows that may also happen.
Trump disrespecting babies! How appropriate! I’m not surprised...
George Soros may be just the one to do that.
It’ll piss of the Texans who might vote for Cruz just out of homeboy pride, but in the end Trump will get enough votes it won’t matter.
