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."

Both these guys must get out of the gutter. This personal stuff will affect them in a negative away and they may suffer the fate of Rubio. I voted for Cruz in the primary, but am beginning to drift toward Trump but mad as hell against both for these attacks on each other.

“Donald hates Star Wars. He would kick Yoda if he could.”

“Ted, what’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?”

“Donald hates ice cream, and puppies, and apple pie.”

So Ted thinks anyone that back Trump is in a “personal Hell”.

This, from the idiot that has Glenn Beck backing him. That’s gotta hurt.

What is Cruz correct about?

Cruz in not in that inner circle so anything he says is just speculative but that won't stop the Trump haters.

Well Christie does live in New Jersey.

If that isn’t Hell it is certainly the outskirts

Is Cruz a looney?

He is definitely from a dysfunctional family!

I think he has some "issues."

Once I agreed on all of Cruz’s positions and really liked him as a nominee. I voted for him in the primary.

Now I still agree with him on his positions. But I don’t like him near as much as a person. I am now leaning toward Trump, although I don’t like personal attacks on Cruz and others either. His attacks don’t seem to come from the heart as does Cruz’s.

What to do??? I will vote, even if holding my nose!

I don’t know if you’re more caring, but you obviously like Trump more than I like Cruz.

Did Ted really say that? I'd think that will really, really tank Cruz's numbers in NJ and send Trump's numbers soaring to NY levels. Those folks won't much like Cruz speaking for their gov.

JMHO

First of all, I don’t understand how anyone could vote for someone that Glenn Beck supports. It puts them in the same “nuts” category.

Second, way to piss off some more Italians, Cruz. I think he’s trying to make sure he gets less than 10% in the New York primary.

I gotta hand it to Ted. He pulled off the best scam ever by morphing from a Bushie to a Tea Party candidate. No one even noticed.

I noticed. That’s why I didn’t vote for him in the Texas senate primary. There was something about him that made me think it was all an act. And it was.

Sadly, there are still way too many people who simply refuse they were duped.

Ted lost all those debated to Trump. Trump is on his Goldman Sachs head.

“n that pic Satan is saying to Christie, “Governor, welcome to your private hell. Nothing here to eat but carrot sticks, celery, rice cakes, fat free yogurt, plus kale, kale, and more kale, FOR ALL ETERNITY!!!!””

And he’ll stay fat.
