Donald Trump Is Going Nuclear-Stupid On Twitter Like We All Knew He Would Eventually!!
El Trumpo is having a full blown freak out on Twitter against Ted Cruz. There are four stages so far in this social media political war.
1) THE OPENING VOLLEY FROM EL TRUMPO
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

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!

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
How is this any different from people pointing out two of his wives were immigrants? It’s only tangentially connected.
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!

Ted is the ultimate hypocrite. Says one thing for money, does another for votes. https://t.co/hxdfy0mjVw

Again, the Donald is just desperately grasping at straws here. Had Ted Cruz told one crowd that he was for gay marriage and another against, he might be hypocritical, but that’s not the case.
2) THE TEDNADO RESPONDS CALMLY AND CLEVERLY
Here’s now CNN reports Ted’s response:
Cruz declined to comment on the Times report when asked by a CNN reporter during an appearance in Columbia, South Carolina on Friday. But speaking to reporters at a church not far from Charlotte on Saturday, Cruz, who once declined to attack Trump, shed any caution he may have had about laying into his top rival.
“I would note that Donald’s record does not match what he says as a candidate,” Cruz said, gamely tackling questions he routinely swatted away for seven months.
Cruz also aggressively ridiculed Trump’s obsession with the latest opinion surveys, saying that Trump’s attacks on Twitter come because he is “dismayed” about a recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showing a competitive race.
“I imagine it pulled him out of bed this morning and send him tweeting and tweeting and tweeting,” he said. “I think in terms of a commander in chief, we ought to have someone who isn’t springing out of bed to tweet in a frantic response to the latest poll.

Cruz referred repeatedly to an interview Trump did with NBC News’ Tim Russert 17 years ago, in which he defines his “New York values” as distinct from “Iowa values.” Cruz said those values — pro-abortion rights, including supporting partial birth abortion and pro-gay marriage — explained Trump’s world view. And he dredged up the former Democrat’s donation history to some of the state’s leading politicians, including Hillary Clinton.
“Given the fact that for much of his life, Donald was financially supporting those politicians — writing checks to Hillary Clinton, writing checks to Andrew Cuomo — it is a fair inference that he supports their policies,” Cruz said.
The Texas senator, then asked for some differences on national security between him and Trump, offered that was unaware of what Trump’s foreign policy is.
“To be honest, I don’t know what Donald’s position is,” Cruz said.
BOOM!!
Oddly, the full statement is a little different as the reporting above cut out a few sentences:
After this, Mark Levin jumped in and warned Trump to cut the crap, as I posted at the Right Scooooop.
3) THE DONALD SLURPS DOWN SOME METH AND FOUR LOKO AND STRIKES BACK!!
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
Maybe because they believe in other things too? That’s kinda how you do politics – you prioritize your political preferences, because unless you’re an unthinking mindless zombie, you’re never going to agree 100% with a politician. Oh wait.. that reminds me of…
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
What the hell? Is he really saying Ted Cruz should be kicked out of politics? He’s going rabid foaming at the mouth!!! Call a medic!!!
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
Weird, he hasn’t asked this of Hillary.
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
This guy has flip flopped on nearly every conservative issue in the last ten years and he’s casting stones from the most fragile of glass houses. I think he’s trying to drag Cruz into the gutter because he thinks he can best him in a contest of who can be dirtier. I doubt Cruz will take the bait.
4!!!! THE DONALD GOES STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL PREQUEL BATS#IT INSANE!!!
Wow! Ted Cruz received $487K in campaign contributions, $11M from a NY hedge fund mogul, & $1M low int. loan from Goldman Sachs. Hypocrite
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 16, 2016
And then… the coup’d’crap….
Is this the New York that Ted Cruz is talking about & demeaning? pic.twitter.com/rYGX9vazku

Dude. Are you serious right now. Damn.
I’m not a big fan of the Trump, but it’s pretty clear that he’s just plain losing it here.
