LISTEN: Rush Just Identified Trump’s Biggest Mistake Yet- And It Could Cripple His Campaign
On Fox News Sunday, Donald Trump criticized fellow Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, saying:
I don’t think he has the right temperament. I don’t think he’ s got the right judgment. You look at the way he’s dealt with the Senate where he goes in there like a… You know, frankly, like a bit of a maniac. You’re never gonna get things done that way. You can’t walk into the Senate and scream and call people liars and not be able to cajole and get along with people. He’ll never get anything done, and that’s the problem with Ted.
According to one poll, Cruz recently stole the lead from Trump in Iowa, where the Republican primary season is set to kick off with caucuses on February 1st. A Washington Examiner headline read: “Cruz Triples Support In Iowa, Dominates Republican Race.” The Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Poll, an extremely well respected poll, showed Cruz beating Trump in Iowa, 31% to 21%.
On his show Monday, Rush Limbaugh took issue with Trump’s weekend criticism of Cruz, arguing that Trump has not positioned himself in the race as someone who would be effective at crossing the aisle to work with the Democrats.
Here’s Limbaugh’s exact quote about Trump: “I mean, this is what the Republican establishment would say, for crying out loud. I mean, this is akin to saying, ‘I’m the guy who can cross the aisle and work with the other side.’ That hasn’t been the way Trump has come off up ’til now. He’s not positioned that way.”
Limbaugh went on, saying that Trump “essentially put on his John McCain hat here and is saying, ‘I’m Donald McCain, and I’m the guy that can cross the aisle and work with the other side. Ted Cruz can’t.’”
The radio host said that Trump’s criticism of Cruz raised a red flag for him.
Limbaugh added that a “genuine conservative wouldn’t go after Cruz in this way.”
He wondered why Trump, who claims to be anti-establishment, would join the establishment in this criticism of Cruz: “But he’s clearly making himself out to be anti-establishment, yet he joins them here.”
