Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in an interview aired Sunday that rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was a “total liar” for saying he supported universal health care, similar to the Affordable Care Act, dubbed “Obamacare.”

“Look, Ted Cruz is a total liar,” Trump said on ABC’s “This Week. “I am so against Obamacare. I’ve been saying it for two years in my speeches, I’m going to repeal and replace Obamacare. I don’t even know where he gets this.”

Trump went on to discuss the loans Cruz didn’t specify loans on financial disclosure forms.

“I mean, look, Ted is a liar. This is why nobody likes him,” Trump concluded.

    Coming off his debate performance where his shifting positions on immigration became an issue along with the recent questions regarding his Christian faith, this “liar” meme could take off.

  4. Trump couldn´t wait to see Cruz again, but he didn´t want to him to see his psoriasis.

    If Trump wins the GOP nomination, he just gave democrats a really big win. He says he isn’t for universal healthcare. No GOP nominee will win on that slogan.
