Ted Cruz Attacks Donald Trump for 'Spending Time on Twitter'
Ted Cruz is back in the headlines just a few days after he was slammed by his presidential opponent Donald Trump for "disrespecting" New Yorkers with his remarks on their values during an interview last week. In addition to the heated argument, Cruz also attacked Trump during one of his interviews on Monday, Jan. 18, as per Politico's report.
During his speech, Cruz hits on Trump for supporting Democrats, Cruz also stated that, "We need a leader prepared to do whatever is needed to keep this country safe, typically, that doesn't include spending time on Twitter."
In addition to what he told the reporters last Monday, Texan Tribune mentioned that Cruz pointed out Trump's excessive Twitter use by stating that Americans would opt for a leader that could calmly deal with a stressful situation. He then added that America does not need someone that would continually update his social media page to respond to the "latest polls."
During the interview, Cruz stated, "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 polls, I think the American people is looking for a commander in chief who is stable and steady and a calm hand to keep this country safe."
As of the recent poll survey, Cruz and Trump are in a tight competition within Iowa, but Trump is taking the lead in New Hampshire with Cruz closely catching up. In regards to their tight battle when it comes to the polls, Cruz stated that Trump is a bit "rattled" with the results most especially in some areas wherein Cruz would take the lead, "I guess as conservatives continue to unite behind our campaign as his poll numbers continue to go down, that seems to be -- he's a little testy."
As for Trump's Democrat donations, on the other hand, Cruz mentioned a list of Democrats that Trump supported which included Hilary Clinton, Andrew Cuomo, Weiner and Rahm Emmanuel.
Ted Cruz and his presidential candidate opponent Donald Trump have been exchanging remarks back and forth over the past weeks. The heated tension between the two escalated after Trump slammed Cruz by stating that Cruz isn't qualified to run for president because of his nationality as he was born in Canada. This being said, Trump pointed out that Cruz isn't a "natural-born Citizen" which is one of the qualifications needed to run for office.
