Cruz has consistently avoided attacking or questioning Trump. Ted Cruz for his comments about ‘New York values‘. Their unseemly political battle raised questions about whether either man has the temperament to be commander in chief. Those two candidates have a rough road past New Hampshire no matter what, unlike Rubio or Trump, who is the biggest challenge to Cruz. He was so nice to me. “But my political philosophy – and, I believe, the philosophy of America – is different from the very left leadership we have here in the city”. “I think Ted once again is trying to be Mr. Ivy League cute”, he charged. “Let’s go, ok.’ But he’s a nasty guy”.
The controversy has loomed over Cruz’s current tour of New Hampshire, where he has been campaigning in close proximity to Trump, the current poll leader nationally and in the Granite State.
“Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him”, Mr Trump said on Sunday. “Some of them don’t have a chance and they know it”.
“The only force powerful enough to make Congress responsive to the people is we the people”, Cruz said at Zeb’s General Store in North Conway, N.H. It’s not a good thing for the country.
For his part, Cruz said his filibuster showed he was willing to stand up and do whatever it took to block the health care law (which took effect in any case).
“Donald seems to be a little rattled”, Cruz said. “For whatever reasons, Donald doesn’t react well when he’s going down in the polls”, according to The Washington Post.
On the issue of Cruz’s Canadian birthplace and his eligibility for the White House, Stephanopoulos told Trump that some legal scholars indicate that the real estate mogul could launch a lawsuit against Cruz. They avoided taking pot shots at one another, even while they were competing for the same group of conservative and Evangelical Christian voters.
For Trump, the offensive continued his pattern of aggressiveness toward whichever of his rivals he says have attacked him first, from Jeb Bush and Rand Paul to former candidates like Rick Perry and Lindsey Graham. Sanders is Hillary Clinton’s problem, but Trump is Cruz’s problem (and vice-versa).
Klein said the campaign picture will be very interesting if Sanders wins Iowa and New Hampshire. The heated tension between the two escalated after Trump slammed Cruz by stating that Cruz isn’t qualified to run for president because of his nationality as he was born in Canada.
Ted Cruz is back in the headlines just a few days after he was slammed by his presidential opponent Donald Trump for “disrespecting” New Yorkers with his remarks on their values during an interview last week.
Cruz questioned Trump’s conservative conversion, laying out the striking differences between the GOP front-runner and the actor-turned-president Ronald Reagan.
“I understand that every Republican candidate tries to compare themselves to Reagan”, said Cruz.
Both Cruz and Trump were campaigning Monday in New Hampshire, which holds the second contest in the country’s critical primary season.
The attacks and counter-attacks raged on yesterday on national television.
“We’re doing all of this while growing our economy and adding jobs – there are more people working in NYC today than at any other time in our City’s history”, de Blasio wrote, ahead of his cash-grabbing conclusion. The loans, which the senator said were paid back in full, came from Citibank and Goldman Sachs, where Heidi Cruz is a managing director on leave.
