It is sad that you guys can not get this. But I will try....
When someone attacks Trump, he attacks back two fold, to let them know he plays hard ball.
All the candidates have on their big boy pants so they get it!
As the saying goes (which is my favorite) He doesn't suffer fools lightly.
You may not have liked it in the primaries, just wait til it is him and Hillary!!
The "attack back" on Rafael Cruz should have embarrassed Trump's supporters. Let's look at what Trump said, and someone please explain why he does this repeatedly.
He begins saying, to the effect, "Rafael Cruz is saying terrible things about me." He does NOT say what those terrible things are. How many people who hear thins have even a clue of what these terrible things are? Is Trump going to tell them what these terrible things are that Rafael Cruz has said about him?
No, he does not. Rather, he claims that "he read" that the man who said terrible things about him was a cohort of Lee Oswald, and furthermore, nobody is talking about THAT.
The interviewer failed to do even elementary journalism in pressing for specific examples of these "terrible things." But, that is a different subject.
Here Trump operates on P T Barnum's wisdom, "There's a sucker born every minute." He's counting on that in the belief that at least a few of them will hear his words and take another sip of the Snake Oil, he is selling. The man is dishonest to his core and unfit to be President.
