Cruz: Christie 'in his own private hell' for backing Trump
NJ.com ^ | 4/12/2016 | Claude Brodesser-Akner

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie is "in his own private hell" over his February endorsement of GOP front-runner Donald Trump, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas said Tuesday.

Appearing on "The Glenn Beck Show," Cruz told the conservative host that Trump seemed to insist on behaving like the famous fictional Mafia don depicted in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather," Michael Corleone.

"The presidency should not be La Cosa Nostra," said Cruz, adding that the real estate tycoon seemed to demand a similar level of "Godfather"-like deference and respect from the governor.

"You know what gets me," Cruz said. "The servility of Chris Christie being forced to call him, 'Mr. Trump.' Chris Christie is a good man."

Teddy Cruz has a masochistic, self-destructive side.

Cruz is one giant POS. This registered Republican of 52 years is about to switch my registration to Independent after I vote for Trump in the California primary. The not-so-funny part is that early on I was a Cruz supporter.

Ditto, except I've only been a pub for 36 years, and I'll hold off switching if Trump is the nominee. But it's time for a Nationalist party.

True. Ben has been less than helpful to the cause.

To the point where you have to begin to wonder if it is deliberate - if he decided that he could best get his revenge on Trump for the "pathological" remark by endorsing him and then undermining him on the campaign trail.

I used to like Cruz too.....then he threw his hat into the ring and I started to really listen what he was saying. I cant stand him anymore either....he is a lying, snake in the grass. His voice and stuttering is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

Wrong-o. He’s despised because a lying, opportunistic, sanctimonious, phony, *****. And that’s just the half of it.

How Glenn Beck Says He Knows There Is 'Not a Chance' Cruz Will Be Trump's Vice President


Glenn Beck to Vote for Hillary if McCain is GOP Nominee Glenn Beck - Why he would of voted for Hillary instead of John McCain Glenn Beck: McCain would've been worse Glenn Beck: I May have Voted for Hillary Clinton Glenn Beck: 'I won't vote for Trump.' (Even if running against Hillary)

Why would anyone be surprised that the "brown shirts" meme now in use by the Demagogic Party got its start in the mouth of the demagogue Glenn Beck?

What is it with this guy?
Christie is a NJ guy and loves NJ.
He will prosper there assuming he cuts down on the donuts.
Cruz clearly likes TX but the other 56 States are NOT TX.

I heard Cruz give this exact same speech on Sean Hannitys show today, calling Trump mafia Don and a crybaby...and not answer any of Sean questions, instead using the radio time to insult Trump and, by extension, his voters.

Then Cruz has the nerve to say at the end that he is trying to unite the party...well, you’re not going to get Trump voters on your side by insulting their candidate and discarding their legitimate concerns.

I was disgusted by what I heard from what I heard from Cruz today. It was just bashing, and no substance or issues.

“Cruz can’t complete a sentence without Trump in it.”

Seriously! I heard him on Hannity today and not one question was about Trump, but all Cruz did was bash Trump the entire time.

He didn’t even sound in control, he sounded like he was coming apart and losing it.

Cruz is pretty much saying he is nothing without Trump. Like a superhero without a villain.

At the start, I was 100% with Cruz. Now, I wouldn’t walk across the street to piss on him if he was on fire. He’s been unmasked along with a whole lot of other people I thought I could trust. It’s been an eye-opening election season.

Anyone who has the bad judgement to pal around with the likes of Glen Beck, who is a mental case....I have issues with.

Well, I must be a more caring person than you. I absolutely would walk across the street to piss on Trump - on fire or not!
