One day after a report that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned Donald Trump’s “judgment” in a private event, Trump called out Cruz for criticizing him behind closed doors but refraining from negative comments in public.
Looks like @tedcruz is getting ready to attack. I am leading by so much he must. I hope so, he will fall like all others. Will be easy!

.@tedcruz should not make statements behind closed doors to his bosses, he should bring them out into the open – more fun that way!

Cruz has so far refrained from bashing Trump in public. After Trump announced his proposal to ban Muslims from coming to the United States, Cruz disagreed but stopped short of condemning Trump’s remarks.
But the Texas senator spoke about Trump and Ben Carson during a Manhattan fundraiser on Wednesday, according to the New York Times.
“Who am I comfortable having their finger on the button? Now that’s a question of strength, but it’s also a question of judgment. And I think that is a question that is a challenging question for both of them,” Cruz said of Trump and Carson.
Cruz has started gaining on Trump in the key primary state of Iowa, which may be making Trump uneasy. The real estate mogul has a habit of attacking his Republican rivals when they rise in the polls, as both the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal noted this week. Trump may have released his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the country in an attempt to boost his support with evangelical voters in Iowa.
Now in this case, I’m pulling for Trump. Not only do I deem Trump easier to beat in the general election than Cruz, but Cruz and to a lesser extent Rubio have been playing this cynical game wherein they keep their hands off Trump and let him implode, and try to cozy up to his base.
Or, Han Solo said it best: “Bring it on! I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around.”
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned Donald Trump’s “judgement”
Well, I question somebody’s spelling.
The Donald to the Cubanadian Cruz:
Later, at the Republican convention, The Donald makes a surprise appearance…
“Deny ME the nomination??? You little people!” Trump screeches! ____ The GOP party bosses and his Munchkin rivals scatter.
