We’re all cool with this assessment of Ted Cruz, right, Trump fans?
TRUMP: Look, I don’t think he’s qualified to be president.
WALLACE: Why not?
TRUMP: Because I don’t think he has the right temperament. I don’t think he’s got the right judgment.
WALLACE: What’s wrong with his temperament?
TRUMP: When 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 never 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.
“Dear Donald, thank you for finally saying what I’ve been trying to tell people . . .”
Kudos to Ted Cruz for the ’80s-flashback response.
Our stalwart principled conservative leader, Mr. Trump, also said this weekend:
“Well look he’s from Texas -- to the best of my knowledge, there’s a lot of oil in Texas, right? So, he gets a lot of money from the oil companies, and he’s against ethanol and everything you’re else talking about. And I’m not, I’m totally in favor. And you know it’s a big industry here, it’s a big industry. You know if that industry is upset Iowa’s got problems,” Trump said to the crowd of about 1,500, composed of Iowans from special-interest groups.
Only a TRUE conservative stands for ethanol and Senate collegiality, right, Trump fans?
Finally, a new poll from NBC News this morning shows Hillary Clinton beating Trump 50 percent to 40 percent head to head; she beats Cruz 48 percent to 45 percent. Against Ben Carson, she loses, 46 percent to the doctor’s 47 percent. Marco Rubio beats her 48 percent to 45 percent.
For what it’s worth, Hillary has led six of the past seven head-to-head polls against Trump, and six out of seven against Cruz. She led four out of seven against Carson and just two out of seven against Rubio.a
