Ted Cruz laid into Donald Trump with his most personal and toughest criticism since the GOP presidential campaign began, calling him a "pathological liar" on Tuesday who doesn't understand the difference between the truth and lies.
Cruz prefaced his comments by saying that for the first time, he wanted to say exactly what he thought of Trump after the front-runner suggested Cruz's father might have had something to do with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The Texas senator accused Trump of being both disingenuine and self-aggrandizing, saying Trump was a "narcissist" at a level "I don't think this country has ever seen." "Donald Trump is such a narcissist that Barack Obama looks at him and says, 'Dude, what's your problem?' " Cruz said.
Whatever lie hes telling, in that minute he believes it, Cruz added. "But the man is utterly amoral. Morality does not exist for him.
-SNIP-
Its why he went after Heidi directly, attacked her and smeared her," Cruz said. "Heidi isnt pretty enough for him. ... Donald is a bully. ... Bullies dont come from strength, they come from weakness. ... Theres a reason Donald builds giant buildings and puts his name on them everywhere he goes."
"Donald has a real problem with women," Cruz continued.
He then noted that Trump defended boxer Mike Tyson, who was convicted in Indiana on rape charges, and told Trump's supporters they should not believe their favored candidate.
"Donald is cynically exploiting that anger, and Donald is lying to his supporters," he said. He went on to insist Trump would betray his them by not doing what he promises, including his pledge to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Cruz's all-out assault suggested his campaign might be nearing its breaking point.

“I think Cruzs campaign is kaput, which makes it even weirder that Trump would promote this nonsense connecting Cruz Sr. to the Kennedy assassination.”
It worked, and provoked this fit from Felito.
Don’t let the facts get in the way of his TDS rant.
“But he really blew it today, I mean really blew it! You could see it on Carlys face when they showed her!”
I actually felt sorry for her. You could see her alarm and attempts to carry a game face. I don’t like her, but she didn’t deserve this set up.
Anybody got video of iCarly’s shock?

LIE
Cruz is Delusional!
I smell burning bridges.
I don’t think Cruz will be considered for anything in Trump’s administration now.
Stupid move, Tantrum Ted.
He connected Cruzs father to Lee Harvey Oswald and the Fair Play for Cuba organization, which is true...Even admitted to by Cruzs father... "
Thanks for posting this important tidbit. Judging by many FReeper's assumptions and overreactions, it needed to be said.
He and Beck have been feeding off each other I think.
Psst! Trump likes to fart (sbd) in a crowd and then slip away.
Pass it on.
Deconstruct my “lie,” please.
‘”Donald has a real problem with women,” Cruz continued.’

Nope. Campaigning for Hillary. Textbook vote suppression here: Why vote for Trump? He’s doesn’t stand for what you believe in, etc.

One term Teddy is done. This man has no chance of ever winning an election again.
Must be some sad puppies. I voted for Trump today and I was exceedingly happy to do that.
Now voting for Ted would have sickened me.
“The man has an instinct for the gutter even when hes already won.”
Felito still hasn’t struck his colors. Keep firing.
Cruz must think that these rage-filled ramblings will attract last-minute voters, or somehow convince Trump voters to repent and rush to his side. This is not attractive - at all. He is such a pompous, humorless, and falsely-pious politician.
He did not connect Daddy lunatic to JFK’s assignation, and you damn well know it.
