to bolster his claim, misattributing a quote about Cruz to a former Senator.
First, Trump retweeted his social media director's link to a blog post about former Republican Senator Tom Coburn on Texas Sen. Cruz.

Yet Cruz is a liar just because his staff quoted a report from CNN?
Evidently you did not bother to read the actual words I wrote. Typical of Teddy supporters. Please go back and read and when you report backt, try highlighting the actual quote where I wrote that Teddy lied using the CNN report.
Thanks
Politics is more fun than soccer....
Weird, I just a poll that said Cruz was...
Then again, all the polls leading in to Iowa had Trump the walk-away winner by 10-20%...
Only one poll counts.
