"I don't think Ted Cruz has a great chance, to be honest with you," Trump told ABCNews Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in an interview on "This Week" Sunday. "Look, the truth is, he's a nasty guy. He was so nice to me. I mean, I knew it. I was watching. I kept saying, 'Come on Ted. Let's go, okay.' But he's a nasty guy. Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him. He's a very -- he's got an edge that's not good. You can't make deals with people like that and it's not a good thing. It's not a good thing for the country. Very nasty guy."

Campaigning Saturday afternoon in South Carolina, Cruz did not hold back when it came to his "friend" Donald Trump.
"It seems Donald has a lot of nervous energy -- it seems Donald doesn't react well when he's going down in the polls," Cruz said. "You know in terms of a commander in chief, I think we ought to have someone who isn't springing out of bed and tweeting in response to the latest polls. Stable and steady and a calm hand to keep this country safe." Trump sent a series of tweets aimed at Cruz early Saturday morning.

Stephanopoulos told Trump that some legal scholars have suggested Trump himself would have standing to sue Cruz.
"Oh, that's an interesting case. Wow, that sounds like a very good case. I'd do the public a big favor," Trump responded, but he would not say whether he'd actually file such a suit. "It's a good idea-- maybe I'll talk to them about it. I'd like to talk to Ted about it, see how he'd feel about it. 'Cause you know, when I file suits, I file real suits."

Trump is frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog while calling Cruz nasty. That is rich.
“Nasty guys for Cruz”!
This from a man who calls women pigs. Trump has all the tact of a mafia thug.
So Trump is liked by Congress more than Cruz, by Trump’s own words?
I tell you.
When little Georgie hears this he gets excited.
It reminds me of the old “Dating Game” when the host of the show would ask one bachelor to say something about the other bachelor.
Well, now, isn't that just the best recommendation a conservative running against "progressives" in both Parties can wish for?
If George Washington, James Madison, John Adams or Thomas Jefferson were running in 2016, with their abilities to see through the shallow counterfeit ideas of progressive politicians in Washington, D. C., does a serious thinker truly believe they would be "liked"?
Is that the Cruz/Goldman Sachs Christmas photo?
People don’t mind a little nastiness from Trump when it is directed at our common enemies. Once he starts directing it at people we like, its going to wear thin.
Trump needs to watch this kind of thing. At the end of the day he would need Cruz’s people to support him in the general; attacks like this are just going to rub people the wrong way.
Yes. Because we've suffered from not enough deal making in DC. That's the dream of conservatives. More deals!
My $.02 best guess is that Cruz bringing up Trumps mother in the last debate as he did got under his skin big time and put him on his enemy list. I’ll happily vote for either one of them...but that’s my guess!
I look at that photo and I see his wife as a Goldman Sachs executive making 700,000 dollars a year as a privileged player in a system that’s scr$$ing me over. Not giving me more than pennies on my savings and CD’s. While hubby gets a break with loans from two banks and doesn’t disclose them. That’s BS. They’re living pretty good while millions can’t even get a COLA in their SS checks or retirement checks or a raise for those working. I don’t see a kind Laura Bush who cares about educational issues when I look at Mrs. Cruz.
A Brooklyn cabbie
2nd posting on this news stkry in less than an hour...
Just saying...
Cruz’s wife is really the brains behind the campaign and the money laundering that’s been going on since hi Senate campaign.
Trump has done all the dirty work and Cruz has benefited to a point. You can only ride the coat tails for so long. Cruz is a weasel. It gets old.
