Ted Cruz accused Republican front-runner Donald Trump of taking advantage of 'angry, low-information voters.'
“Listen, Donald does well with voters who have relatively low information, who are not that engaged and who are angry and they see him as an angry voice,” Cruz told “The Brody File” in an interview conducted Wednesday and published Thursday.
Cruz, who has racked up wins in Idaho, Maine and Kansas in the past week, said his campaign performs better among informed, engaged voters.
“When they inform themselves, they realize his record,” Cruz said. “He’s what they’re angry at. He is the corruption, and if you want someone to stand up to Washington, the only one who has been doing so in this race is me.”
The Texas senator acknowledged Trump has done well in Southeastern states — he’s won Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. But Cruz said his campaign has done well in that pocket of the country, too, often coming in second to the New York billionaire but still picking up delegates.
“Now Donald has a harder problem in the West,” Cruz said. “It’s interesting. I mean, his location, he does well in the Southeast. He does well with a certain demographic of voter. Donald gave a press conference where he said, to quote him, ‘I love the poorly educated.’” Cruz suggested Trump is “taking advantage of his voters because” they’re angry. “I understand what they’re angry about, but, Donald, if you’re angry at the corruption of Washington, you don’t solve it by supporting someone who has been enmeshed in the Washington corruption for 40 years,” he said.

Or maybe you're trying to "save face" from an absolutely untenable position ...
Y'all keep telling us how nobody likes Teddy (so you shouldn't) and how he is a "loser" (and you will be too if you back him) and pulling all that other crap and tactics from a book the author dedicated to Satan.
Almighty God gave us free choice, and I am not the one to deny that to you. Choose wisely, grasshopper.
What untenable position? If you were not blinded with support for Trump, you would see it.
That’s it? You have gone from mildly entertaining to irrelevance in a single campaign.
Sort of like the Tedster.
Oh, I can see it just fine. It's Cruz trying to have it both ways, and you helping him.
It is Cruz saying what he said. Facts used to matter around this site.
Why aren't you fighting the Communists?
Is that all you got? Meh.
Why do you think I'm posting to you?
"Useful Idiots" count.
If you said that to my face, I don’t care how big you are, how young you are, or your gender, I’d slap your face off you shit. I have been fighting Communists all my life. Now I get to add fascist pigs like you.
Well guess what: you’re just going to have to sit there and find ways to make yourself feel better.
It’s not my fault you ran into Communists so much smarter than you they actually get you to fight FOR them.
LOL! Look who is talking. Sucker.
Who do you think you're kidding here. I'm cool as a cucumber, and you're ready to burst blood vessels.
Now you KNOW your guy isn't what he claimed, and you don't want to.
You are still a sucker. How does it feel, knowing that if you ‘win’ you are still a loser.
Are you kidding?
Coming from the author of the impotent rage you displayed earlier, that sounds like "sour grapes" from a frustrated child ;o)
Hear what you want, but BOHICA, by popular demand! no less.
