Donald Trump twists the knife in Ted Cruz: ‘The truth is he’s a nasty guy; nobody likes him’

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday lashed out at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for continuing to attack so-called “New York values.”

On ABC’s This Week, host George Stephanopoulos reminded Trump that Cruz had insulted “New York values” during a recent debate, and then the Texas senator escalated his attack on New York after he was asked to apologize.

“He’s doubled-down on this issue of New York City values,” Stephanopoulos explained. “He lumped you in yesterday with Hillary Clinton, Andrew Cuomo and Bill de Blasio.”

“The truth is he’s a nasty guy, nobody likes him,” Trump replied. “Nobody in Congress likes him. He’s a very — he’s got a edge that’s not good. You can’t make deals with people like that. It’s not a good thing for the country. Very nasty guy.”

Every time the words "The truth is" come out of his mouth, you know he's going to be verbally stomping on someone.

I agree with Trump. Cruz's college roommate said he vote from someone in the phonebook rather than vote for Cruz.

Grade-A flaming shitheels, but of the two, Cruz is by far the crazier.
