Ted Cruz had some very harsh words for Donald Trump this week, making what might have been the most strident criticism of the GOP frontrunner from any of his competitors.
Speaking on the Fox News Channel this past Wednesday, the Texas senator told host Megyn Kelly that he wasn’t surprised that Trump was, as he put it, “trying to stir up riots” if he lost the Republican nomination. The remark was in reference to a prediction by Trump that his supporters would be very upset if the GOP establishment ended up using underhanded methods to force an unpopular candidate like Jeb Bush on them.
Cruz’s criticism came relatively shortly after he attacked Trump earlier that day, claiming that the real estate tycoon is skipping a debate organized by Fox because he finds Kelly, who will be moderating, to be a “very, very terrifying person” and hates to be challenged.

In addition to impugning Donald Trump’s courage, Cruz took a swing at his views on foreign policy and the Middle East in particular. Taking issue with a recent statement by Trump that he would remain “neutral” in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, Cruz was positively incredulous that anyone could take such a position:
“‘Cruz added that Trump’s reason for cancelling, that he had a speech at AIPAC at the same time is ‘silliness, and it reflects his assumption that he thinks the voters can’t figure out that he’s not telling them the truth. Listen, AIPAC would have allowed him to spoke at any time, it’s a multi-day conference. He chose to speak right in the middle of the debate because he’s scared to debate. And he just — he looks down on the voters. He thinks they’re gullible and will believe whatever he’s saying. So I’m going to be in DC for AIPAC as well, and since Donald is running away from the debate, I’m happy to debate him there. If he wants, we can debate foreign policy, but the problem is, Donald doesn’t do well on foreign policy because he doesn’t have even a basic modicum of knowledge. Two debates ago, Donald explained that if he were president, he’d be neutral between Israel and the Palestinians. That is a stunning statement. It’s the nonsense you hear from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. I’ll tell you, Megyn, if I’m president, I will not be neutral. America will stand unapologetically with Israel. And it says something about Donald Trump, if he can’t tell the difference between our friends and allies, if he can’t tell the difference between Israel and Islamic terrorists who want to murder us, that raises real questions about his fitness and his judgment to be commander-in-chief. And so, I’m happy to debate him in Utah, where the debate was supposed to happen, or DC, or anywhere else. But I suspect Donald will continue to running and hiding and basking in the protection from the network media, that is trying to do everything they can to make him the nominee, because they know he’s the one candidate on the face of the planet that Hillary Clinton can beat in the general election.'”

He ain’t stirring you Romney puppet sell out!! The left is stirring them up. And quick frankly if no cares about your rallies then you probably aint saying much that anyone cares about. Trump is a movement. A peaceful revolution.
Actually if you paid any attention at all he has accused Trump since the get go for riots. But perhaps you missed that one huh
And we are not surprise that you keep bring it up!!!
At least he isn’t cramming cults down our throats. At least he is standing up for America instead of like someone we know who is saying he is going to make sure the wall is built, he is going to make sure companies don’t leave the US, etc and YET this person has been in DC and has DONE nothing for us. Go ahead and believ him. You will have another 4 years just like the past 8 years. The only ones who don’t care are the ones that know this same one that has been in DC will not build the wall, let the companies move to whatever country they want and be sure each day BRAG to us that a CANADIAN instead of a AMERICAN is running this country. there is no doubt in my mind Cruz, Kasich, Soros, Bush and the rest of the establishment and even Sanders and Clinton are the ones behind the protests for one reason. They CAN’T stand the fact that Trump has thousands and thousands of more pople at his rally and they can’t stand it and they think if they pay those protestors to go to the rallies Trump’s supporters won’t come. It has backfired in their faces big time. Trump will NOT be STOPPED.
Cruz will see this coming to his campaign big time if he gets the nomination. He doesn’t have to worry though because he won’t get it.
Tom Weitz listen to his statements in his speeches. I am not saying he is part of the riots, but his rhetoric certainly incites them. Not saying it is, but could be!
There is no doubt is probably right in with Soros taking money
Cruz now showing the kind of stuff he’s made of. Lies, deception, manipulation, also completely altering the obvious to mislead people. Now that’s trash. The media hounds are blaming Trump for the violence brought by protesters blocking Trump supporters. Aren’t they tired. This dirty disgusting performance on the media and opponents also now Cruz say one thing, they have all lost the race, mentally, psychologically, ethically and morally. They are showing themselves as sore, sour, bitter losers. It’s just a shame to them all. Complete disgrace…. YUKK!!!!
Minnie. He did not say it like that and I guess you can’t hear, or only read what you want to.
Ted you are a lier!
