Cruz Questions Trump’s Temperament As Commander In Chief

GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s lonely 2013 battles on the Senate floor against gun control, Obamacare and immigration reform set him apart from “establishment” candidates in his own party – and will draw Donald Trump supporters to his camp – the Texas U.S. senator told people who asked what they should tell their Trump-backing neighbors yesterday.

Trump is now working hard to paint Cruz as a flip flopper who will say anything to get elected, as he tries to maintain his front-runner status. “Here’s what Ted Cruz doesn’t understand about us: we are proud of our NY values”.

Cruz used eminent domain to portray the billionaire as a land grabber saying, “Donald Trump has said he thinks eminent domain is fantastic, and he supports using government power to seize private people’s homes, to give them to giant corporations to, say, hypothetically build a casino”.

Cruz has avoided any onstage attacks of Trump’s record since Thursday’s debate, when the two went after one another, instead unleashing his barbs for press gaggles after his events. Listen to this. I always say, a deep, deep second to the bible, the bible is the best, the bible, the bible blows it away.

Donald Trump and three other candidates are at the same event in Iowa today.

As recently as December, Cruz commended Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.

Tyler also pushed back on Trump’s recent criticism that Cruz is a “nasty guy” and disliked by his colleagues in Congress. Statements were blasted. Tweets were fired off. The Daily News made Mr. Cruz the subject of a few apoplectic front pages.

“If someone tells you they’re tea party, you can’t be tea party and at the same time have supported TARP”, Cruz said, using an acronym for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a controversial Wall Street bailout program.

The spat between the pair, who earlier in the campaign had called each other friends, has intensified since the Republican debate on January 14, when the Texan attacked reality television star Trump’s “New York values” and policy positions, including past support for abortion. We feel very good. Cruz has responded by questioning Trump’s “New York values” – a coded suggestion that Trump is too liberal to be a Republican.

Defending religious liberty has been a rallying cry for Cruz’s campaign.

Cruz is not “mature enough”, Graham said, and would lose a general election to the Democratic nominee: “He is more of a libertarian than he is a Ronald Reagan conservative. Just in the last couple of days you’ve seen him knocking the shine off of Trump”, Reagan said. “Nobody ever said that before but me”.
