Trump takes personal shots at Ted Cruz
The Iowa Caucus is two weeks away and the new Hampshire Primary is three weeks from Tuesday, Monday, two Republican frontrunners, Donald Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz stopped in New Hampshire.
“The truth is, he’s a nasty guy”, Trump said of his rival on ABC’s This Week. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. In addition to the heated argument, Cruz also attacked Trump during one of his interviews on Monday, Jan. 18, as per Politico’s report.
Cruz was grilled by “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace over his votes on defense funding and crop insurance, as well as his comments on “carpet-bombing” ISIS and his bashing of “New York values”.
It came from Donald Trump, ‘ Cruz said.
Polls show Cruz and Trump locked in a tight race in Iowa, but Trump is polling considerably better in New Hampshire. “We need a leader who is prepared to do whatever is needed to keep this country safe and that typically doesn’t include spending your time on Twitter”.
He said that intelligent people understand exactly what Cruz meant by “New York values”, and was appalled that Republicans like Trump are using 9/11 “like liberals use 9/11!” “Disqualified. Disqualified. Hang it up”, etc., etc. It was even suggested that “New York Values” might be a reference to ethnics, you know, code for “Jews.” ‘In South Carolina, when I was there, the people certainly understood it’. “And for him to somehow be implying that certain values are more appropriate, more American, depending upon what region of the country you’re from, is to me just asinine”. Trump added in a separate tweet, a reference to remarks Cruz made on the issue while attending a fundraiser in Manhattan. Christie called Cruz’s language divisive and insulting to the people of NY and of his own state across the Hudson River, before mocking Cruz for taking money from the very people whose views he was disparaging. Don’t listen to what Donald Trump says. “He wants to look like Robin Hood”. Those are the loans he’s talking about, is that I put up our life savings as collateral to then take that money and invest in our campaign to mobilize and energize courageous conservatives across the state. Roberts’ opinion also undercut decades of liberal jurisprudence going back to the New Deal era, however, and allowed Republican governors to deny the law’s benefits to low-income citizens who would have been otherwise eligible for Medicaid under Obamacare. If it works, great, says Zahn, and if it doesn’t, well, Zahn’s fine with that, too.
