Cruz Calls Trump 'Serial Philanderer' and 'Pathological Liar' in Blistering Attack

[sofa king]

Source: NBC News

Ted Cruz went on a blistering ramble against Donald Trump on Tuesday, delivering a list of stinging personal attacks that included calling the GOP frontrunner a "serial philanderer," "pathological liar" and a "narcissist."

The attacks came on the day of the Indiana primary and hours after Trump repeated a tabloid report tying Cruz's father, Rafael Cruz, to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

"This man is a pathological liar. He doesn't know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth," Cruz told reporters in Evansville, Indiana.

_________

The pot and the kettle are really at it today, aren't they?

[exboyfil]

1. Burn it down baby

Burn it all down.

[Plucketeer]

18. In the earliest days of WWI

A tactic used to take down an opponent's surveillance plane was to fly above it and try to hook it with a chain that the aggressor had thrown over the side of his cockpit. In one incident - where the attacker managed to hook up, both aircraft crashed as a result of being chained together. That SO reminds me of these two buffoons grappling with one another! Let's hope their wreckage is also their funeral pyre!

[exboyfil]

19. Another analogy

At the end of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man - the creature and the werewolf are engaged in mortal combat as the flood waters close about them.

[elljay]

2. My only remaining questions for this election

are whether there actually is a bottom and how will we know when it is reached?

[moonscape]

21. Sadly, I think we'll see it in the general, when Trump

has even more time to laser-focus on Clinton. And - with the National Enquirer at his back.

It's going to be stomach-churning, as if his mute presence alone wouldn't be.

[big_dog]

25. i'm not sure this is the bottom, but its got to be close...

[elljay]

28. Between this and Ted being the Zodiac Killer

I think we're well into the soap opera plot line. We still haven't heard about the secret twins and the alien conspiracies, though, so there is time for this to develop.

[CincyDem]

33. I heard the Zodiac Killer actually killed Kennedy too. What a coincidence.

[elljay]

34. It is slowly dawning on me

that snark, sarcasm and pure fantasy will all be transcended in this election. It just may not be possible for us to imagine anything crazier than what we're going to actually see. Glad absinthe is legal again. Gonna need to drink a lot of it to make it until November!

[houston16revival]

3. No one believes Ted

even when he tells the truth

[Mass]

4. Proof a broken clock is right twice a day.

[CanonRay]

5. First time I've ever agreed with Cruz

on anything.

[Lint Head]

6. Cruz just gave the Democratic Party more

ammo for the election.

[Renew Deal]

7. This is what happened to Rubio before he lost

[sofa king]

38. I think you win the Nostra-Dem-US award, there.

[Hekate]

8. That was an epic rant. Looks like Trump finally got under Cruz's skin.

Venereal disease was Trump's Vietnam? Who knew?

Maybe Cruz should offer to spanky-spank Trump. They both might get something out of that.

[alcibiades_mystery]

22. He accused Cruz's father of murdering the President

So, I mean, yeah.



A total shitshow.

9. I'd missed it 1st time around: ‘Back to the Future’ Writer: Biff Tannen Is Based on Donald Trump

“We thought about it when we made the movie! Are you kidding?” he says. “You watch Part II again and there’s a scene where Marty confronts Biff in his office and there’s a huge portrait of Biff on the wall behind Biff, and there’s one moment where Biff kind of stands up and he takes exactly the same pose as the portrait? Yeah.”

Of course, in the movie, Biff uses the profits from his 27-story casino (the Trump Plaza Hotel, completed in 1984, is 37 floors, by the way) to help shake up the Republican Party, before eventually assuming political power himself, helping transform Hill Valley, California, into a lawless, dystopian wasteland, where hooliganism reigns, dissent is quashed, and wherein Biff encourages every citizen to call him “America’s greatest living folk hero.”

“Yeah,” says Gale. “That’s what we were thinking about.”

Of course, in Back to the Future Part II, Marty McFly and Doc Brown fix it all just in the nick of time. They save themselves and America from Donald Tr… Biff Tannen.

15. No way?

Somehow, I've never seen the sequels. I suppose now is the time.

[Kelvin Mace]

10. I have to give Cruz points for this one

"Describes his battles with venereal diseases as his own personal Vietnam."

but then take back those points because it was delivered in that whiny-ass voice of his.

[sofa king]

17. Trump really did say that.

http://www.wibc.com/news/national/trump-97-avoiding-vd-while-sleeping-around-similar-serving-vietnam

In a 1997 interview with radio host Howard Stern that came to light in a Buzzfeed report NSFW content), the Republican presidential frontrunner compared being with several women in his younger years to war, a war in which he avoided service. “I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there — it’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider,” Trump said. The interview was on YouTube, but it has since been "removed by the user" according to the YouTube link.

11. Check out Fiorina's contemptuous look

[elljay]

35. That's her only look

Message to us all- remember that Botox comes from botulism.

[patricia92243]

12. Good grief! I went to the doctor for a couple of hours - and all hell has broken

loose while I was gone.

I turned on the tv and Cruz was raving like a madman. Couldn't even figure out what he was talking about. Your link helped shed some light on it all. Cruz sounds desperate and crazy as a loon.

They just now flashed a message that he was attacking Roger Ailes and Rupert Murdock. Cruz honestly sounds like he going off the deep end.

Of course, he is right about Trump etc, but to rave on about it now at this late date is odd and unsettling.

Me thinks he is not a graceful looser!

[Mz Pip]

13. So what?

Nobody seems to give a shit. Maybe if Cruz weren't such a douchebag it might matter. I'm convinced there is a chunk of support for Trump that is just anti Cruz.

Cruz was the first candidate to declare for President. He's had more time than anyone to get people to warm up to him. He failed.

These last minute hail Mary's aren't going to do it.

[BlueStater]

14. He's right (for once) but he's saying this entirely out of desperation.

He senses the end is near. Rubio also got angry and personal shortly before he was trounced in Florida.

[peacefreak]

16. Nothing like

The smell of desperation in the morning 😄

[Botany]

20. So says the man on the D.C. Madam's list of clients.

[Throd]

23. Too late.

[Sunlei]

24. Best move for Republican party would be to withdraw and not run anyone for President.

Best thing for America and innocent Americans before Republicans policies of hate draw attacks on us from other countries.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

26. But they wont, and many who say they are liberal are apparently going to help

one of these disgusting pricks become president.

[Sunlei]

29. what's most important to republicans are down ticket R votes. They don't care who is president.

[libdem4life]

27. Considering Cruz hasn't been in public life enough to chalk up negative

talking points, wait until Trump starts in on Hillary and her baggage. It's going to be cringe-worthy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. Oh, but he has. John Boehner just compared him to Lucifer.

Everybody who has ever had anything to do with Cruz hates his guts. This is such fun to watch...

[libdem4life]

37. We shouldn't be quite so happy about this...he's saving his best for

HRC. She has trainloads of baggage that Cruz' short time in public life could never match.

[Jack Rabbit]

32. Well, The Donald is a liar, a philanderer and a narcissist

However, Senator Cruz' remarks would have been more forceful if Carly Fiorina hadn't been standing beside him as he said them.

[tabasco]

36. Hell, those are compliments to republicans.

Cruz is fucking up again!

[LiberalElite]

39. None of what Cruz said is news eom

[tavernier]

40. He's right on the mark about Fingers Trump.

Sadly, no one will believe him because his strategy in the beginning of the race was to be Trump's best buddy, his soul mate.

And also because he's a nut.

[bemildred]

41. In the words of Dick Cheney: "So?" nt
