The Republican debate got a little heated last week when Donald Trump and Ted Cruz exchanged verbal blows. At one point, the crowd was so turned off by Trump’s birtherism they started booing the GOP front-runner. But Ted was not exempt from blowback, especially after he made comments about “New York values,” as if NYC is full of craptastic people like himself. Anyway, the “Crump” must have really stuck with Donald, because on Saturday morning he went batsh*t on Twitter and waged “Tweethad™” against his opponent.
First, there was birther nonsense:
Ted Cruz was born in Canada and was a Canadian citizen until 15 months ago. Lawsuits have just been filed with more to follow. I told you so
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
That attack transitioned into one about Cruz’s failure to follow Federal Election Commission rules and report his campaign loans:
Ted Cruz said he “didn’t know” that he was a Canadian Citizen. He also FORGOT to file his Goldman Sachs Million $ loan papers.Not believable
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
Was there another loan that Ted Cruz FORGOT to file. Goldman Sachs owns him, he will do anything they demand. Not much of a reformer!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
And then the comments about New York:
The Ted Cruz wiseguy apology to the people of New York is a disgrace. Remember, his wife’s employer, and his lender, is located there!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
After that one he just bounced back and forth between attacks in a complete meltdown:
Oh no, just reported that Ted Cruz didn’t report another loan, this one from Citi. Wow, no wonder banks do so well in the U.S. Senate.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
Based on the fact that Ted Cruz was born in Canada and is therefore a “natural born Canadian,” did he borrow unreported loans from C banks?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
Ted Cruz purposely, and illegally, did not list on his personal disclosure form personally guaranteed loans from banks. They own him!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
Ted is the ultimate hypocrite. Says one thing for money, does another for votes. https://t.co/hxdfy0mjVw
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
If Ted Cruz is so opposed to gay marriage, why did he accept money from people who espouse gay marriage?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
Everybody that loves the people of New York, and all they have been thru, should get hypocrites like Ted Cruz out of politics!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
When will @TedCruz give all the New York based campaign contributions back to the special interests that control him.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
Greatly dishonest of @TedCruz to file a financial disclosure form & not list his lending banks- then pretend he is going to clean up Wall St
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
WHOAH!
Ted Cruz responded with one tweet:
Even Donald Trump himself says #NewYorkValues are different from the values in Iowa and across the country: https://t.co/nieroSPHxg
— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) January 16, 2016
What’s really sad about this is that these two guys actually want to be president and they behave like children. I’d rather elect Anthony Weiner to the White House than these two tools.
As I wrote this article, Trump tweeted two more times. By the time it’s published, there will probably be twenty more because maturity does not grow in his garden.
