It looks like the tacit alliance between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz has finally come to an end.
Speaking with George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week”, the GOP frontrunner unloaded on Cruz. Criticizing the Texas senator, Trump branded him a “very nasty guy” and said that “nobody likes him.” He added that this perceived character flaw of Cruz’s hindered his ability to be president and that the US would be worse off under him.
Trump’s statements are the harshest words he has had to offer about Cruz since his entry into the Republican primaries. While the former Apprentice host famously defended himself from attacks by the other candidates and went on the offense against them, he remained surprisingly quiet about Cruz, who similarly avoided attacking Trump.
The lack of confrontation between the two led many to speculate that they had agreed to refrain from criticizing each other, allowing each to focus on fighting other candidates and building momentum. With Trump still at the top of the primaries and Cruz now a leading contender for the GOP nod, it appears that the gloves are finally coming off.

bummer
Trump needs to tone it down ! They are both good men !
he needs to stop attacking fellow Republicans makes me lose respect
Don needs to chill. I don’t like the guy either, but realistically, he’s going to need him as his token to defeat The Hildabeest. Then he can sit in the VP office and disappear for four years for all I care. A lot of people are enamoured with that neocon, and if he refuses to be your VP, you’re going to have a hard time.
I agree with James Jessy, Trump need to tone it down a bit.
DO NOT THINK CRUZ IS NASTY
That Ted has a strange glow about him, could be bad mae up up or something I suppose….
Trump is ahead and he needs to back off Cruz. Everybody knows who they will vote for—Carolyn
Trump is fascist and Cruz is not eligible! I’m not sure what kind of freedom people are seeking!
Trump never needs to tone it down about what is wrong with anyone that is part of the Washington GOP establishment and Mr. Cruz is nothing but another politician. TRUMP2016!
