Donald Trump on Monday night once again ratcheted up his attacks on Sen. Ted Cruz, calling his GOP presidential rival "sick."
"This guy is sick. There's something wrong with this guy," Trump said Monday night as he slammed Cruz for the senator's campaign tactics, including the attack ads Cruz and his allies have run against Trump.
Cruz's campaign has run several ads scrutinizing Trump's record on a variety of issues important to conservatives.
Trump has repeatedly slammed Cruz since the Texas senator surged in the polls ahead of the Iowa caucuses and has since ramped up his attacks on him since Cruz beat Trump in the Iowa contest.
Campaigning in South Carolina last week, Trump also called Cruz "unstable" and "a basket case."
Trump also pointed out Monday that he beat Cruz out for the most support among evangelical voters in the South Carolina primary and said evangelicals voted against Trump because "they don't like liars."
"They're really smart people. They don't want to vote for a liar," Trump said Monday to a crowd of thousands packed into a Las Vegas arena.
Cruz, who has sought to position himself as the one "true conservative" in the race, has ramped up his attacks about Trump, bashing the Republican frontrunner for his "New York values" and suggesting Trump is not conservative.

Yes, no need to behave in an honorable manner of as if you’d want his voters to shift to him.
I think it’s kind of interesting that DT uses the same comments he receives about himself against others. Obama and company do that all the time.
What about BenCarson? That’s all been debunked and settled between the two men. Tell a lie often enough and people will to believe it. That’s a left wing tactic.
Famous Liberal Inadvertently Tells Republicans EXACTLY Why They Should Vote for 'Dangerous' Cruz - FR Thread
Honor is fine between people who mutually respect and uphold it.
Trying to engage ‘honorably’ against those who don’t, one might as well be fighting with both hands tied behind their back. You think any of the establishment turds backing Rubio care about honor? Did Romney? Because it’s the same people.
Kind of a problem since Cruz has shown he is lacking in the honor department. He is also lacking in the natural born citizen requirement and could care less about it!
So, you believe the lies too?
People are so easily swayed, they can’t believe their own eyes and ears. They believe the lies of others.
Stop spamming.
I don’t believe Cruz’s lies or apologies.
yep Trump is tossing it back right him.. it’s Cruz who does the sleezy stuff behind everybody’s back.. secret phone calls about did you know Trump hates the Confederate flag and in turn hates you southerners?,, robo calls about how Trump loves killing babies and if elected would vote to kill more.. Trump would without a doubt nominate judges so far left to the USSC and it would be the end of our country.. vote for me Dr. Carson just dropped out of the race,,, you are a horrible person because you didn’t vote in the last two primaries and if you don’t want this information spread all across your town vote for Cruz... Did you know we caught Rubio making fun of God? ect ect ect
What , that Trump supports liberal New York values and is not a conservative? Those are not personal attacks but relate to policy, and there is a lot of evidence suggesting they might be true.
I wish he would knock it off, the last thing I want is Rubio in second place!!!
New York values. Politics ain’t bean bag.
I like Trump but this has to stop. All these candidates are attacking each other worse than they are attacking Hillary or Bernie.
Sorry, no conservative should be supporting New York liberal values. You should have no objections to Shrill Hill or Bolshie Bern then. They represent New York liberal values to a T.
It’s mildly amusing watching the GOP implode.
Republicans sure can pick ‘em.
Right after Ted fired one of his top guys for unethical practices? Wow imagine that
Are you “concerned “?
Wise words, thank you.
I wish Trump would start acting more like an adult.
We may have to vote for him JUST to keep Hillary out of the Whitehouse, which I will do.
Still standing with Cruz/West 2016.
Nixon begins to look like a saint up against the machinations Cruz used to get elected. Read on.
Cruz is looking more and more like the late unlamented prez candidate, ex-Texas Gov Rick Perry---two stealth candidates trusting Texans hardly knew.
At first, Cruz (like Perry) looked good....prez material, even. Then candidate Cruz (like Perry) began admitting things that trusting Texans knew nothing about.
Perry shocked his constituents when he admitted in a debate that he was using trusting Texans tax dollars to give illegals in-state tuition...and that they were heartless b/c they did not like this use of tax dollars. (Perry also installed the country's first Sharia Court in Texas....active to this day).
Cruz heaped on the surprises:
<><> I didn't know I was a Canadian citizen when I ran for the Senate until the media exposed it.
<><> I told trusting Texas voters wifey and I were liquidating family assets so I could get into the Senate.
<><> I didn/t know I was supposed to tell the FEC I borrowed over a million from my Wall Street margin accounts to fund my campaign.
<><> I told Mark Levin the borrowed funds were used for campaign ads....but I didn/t report this as required.
<><> And so on and so forth, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.
============================================
BACKSTORY In Texas, Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary......portraying himself to trusting Texans as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that he, and his faithful little wife (a $700,000 globalist lawyer employed by G/S), were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know.
When the Dallas Morning News published Cruz/s Canadian birth certificate, Cruz put trusting Texans through the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship.....even though Canada did not recognize dual citizenship at that time of his birth.
============================================
Cruz (like Perry) didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. Political blunders piled up ... it was one disaster after another. The dumb moves made will be required learning.... what not to do...... for any candidate!
