Donald Trump on Tuesday morning painted his main rival in the Republican presidential primary, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), as an unlikeable “lone wolf,” piggy-backing on recent reports that that Republican senators dislike the Texas senator and may prefer Trump as the nominee.
“I think Ted’s a nasty guy. People don’t like him at all. I mean, he’s got all of these senators — Republican senators — he doesn’t have support of one of them,” Trump said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“Ted Cruz lies. He’s a liar. And that’s why nobody likes him. That’s why his Senate people won’t endorse him,” the real estate mogul continued. “And you know there’s something to say about having an ability to get a little bit of ability to get other people to do things. You can’t be a lone wolf.”
He then suggested that Cruz has a similar governing style to President Obama.
“That’s sort of what we have right now as a president. We have a president that can’t get anything done, so he just keeps signing executive orders all over the place,” Trump said.
“Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski asked Trump if he was comparing Cruz to Obama.
“We’ll, they’re the same. I think actually Ted is more strident than Obama, if you want to know the truth,” Trump replied. “Nobody gets along with Ted. At least some people like Obama. Nobody likes Ted. I don’t find anybody that likes him.”
Watch the clip via MSNBC:
He’s right about nobody liking Ted Cruz but wrong about Obama. Obama never shut the government down while reading Green Eggs & Ham.
That said, I love the delicious combination of schadenfreude and irony of Trump saying nobody likes Ted Cruz.
Jeebus on a Triscuit! All this “my dick is bigger than yours” bullshit. Just get them on stage, pull out the magnifying glasses and have them drop trou.
A campaign of accusations and insults and the GOP electorate are eating it up,as is the MSM who are A, #1 in the abetting of this farce,IMO.

They don’t call him the “short-fingered Vulgarian” for no reason.
