GOP’s Trump threatens lawsuit against 2016 rival Cruz

Still, the Scalia story continued. In Saturday’s debate, Mr. Trump said that the organization “does do wonderful things, but not as it relates to abortion”.

“Christie’s qualities were overshadowed by Trump because he is more of an outsider with a business background”, Merken said. The current front-runner in the polls made multiple campaign stops in SC on Monday.

Trump suggested he would be the stronger guardian of Christian values, and announced that Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University and son of the late televangelist, will be campaigning with him in SC this week. “W” gave a Bill Clinton-like amusing, upbeat and persuasive speech, but it won’t give Jeb the win he needs.

“If Cruz ever got the nomination, the Democrats are going to file the lawsuit“, Trump said. And he’s exhausted of “attacks on his mother and his brother”. Among evangelicals, Trump showed in Iowa he could be competitive.

“We need to get that dog and follow them around and every time they say these things like, ‘Oh, the Great Recession was caused by too much regulation, ‘ arh, arh, arh, arh”, Clinton said, letting out a barking noise that caused the audience to laugh and some people to mimic her. “I guess his team has decided instead you just should insult people and claim it’s a lie and they’re hoping to confuse the voters”. Trump leads nationwide polls as well. Even so, he looked decisive. SC has been instrumental to the success of the Bush family, the most dominant family in Republican politics for the last 25 years.

The remarks reflect Mr. Trump’s willingness to go off topic to stir up his supporters, and to act as if he is the only candidate in the room by repeatedly interrupting his opponents after baiting them to a response. But it never happened: Although Jeb began attacking Trump, his PAC focused on tearing down Rubio. Against Jeb’s “My brother kept us safe after 9/11”, Trump rhetorically asked, “What about before 9/11?” They said there were weapons of mass destruction. That could be the Trump who lacks a tactical proofreader. But he also is damaging what’s left of the Republican brand and depreciating the legacy of the most recent Republican president.

But Trump saved the bulk of his criticism for Cruz. And Trump realized early there was no narrative for Jeb’s run, and Jeb was schizoid.

“Jeb doesn’t quite have that edge that his brother had”, he said. Jeb continues to be a prop for Trump, who initially attacked the awkward (“Here’s the deal”) Jeb as “low energy” to contrast with himself – take-charge (“I make good deals”) Trump. It was one of the most transparently opportunistic and bullying moments of Trump’s already precedent-defying campaign. That’s the way a businessman does it.

Trump said Cruz is “the most dishonest politician” he’s ever met and called his rival “unstable”.

In the newest escalation in the 2016 presidential race, Donald Trump has threatened GOP rival Ted Cruz with a lawsuit.

Cruz also took issue with Trump and Florida Sen.

“I think he’s an unstable person”, Trump said of Cruz.

“If he doesn’t take down his false ads and retract his lies, I will do so immediately”, he said.

He added that he doesn’t think Cruz performs well under pressure, calling the Texas senator a “basketcase”. That’s why he let Cruz and Rubio fight it out in the debate, and why he goes after Cruz so intently. He needs to motivate supporters, and what better way to do that than attacking the RNC? G. Terry Madonna, a professor at Franklin & Marshall College who was involved in political polling, said he was anticipating Christie’s withdrawal. A half century ago, Ronald Reagan’s campaign slogan for governor was “Common sense answers to California’s problems”.

They tut-tutted and stated that Mr Trump had lost it, but they have called him wrongly throughout.
