Why?

FOR LYING.

.....

Wait what?

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he is "very seriously" considering suing GOP rival Sen. Ted Cruz.

"I’m thinking about it very seriously," Trump told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America" today. "I’ve never dealt with anybody who lies like him."

Trump pointed to his own positions on gun rights, as well as the dismantling of President Obama's signature health care law, saying that the Texas senator was misleading voters about his stances.

"Ted Cruz is a liar," he said. "I think he's a very unstable person. I have never had somebody take something you believe in and say the exact opposite."

Trump also criticized Cruz over mailers from his campaign in Iowa, which claimed some voters had a "voter violation."

"What he did to Ben Carson was a disgrace," Trump said. "That election in Iowa should be taken away from him."

Trump also continued his criticism of former President George W. Bush for his handling of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

"Had we had my immigration policies in effect, those people wouldn't have been in the country for the most part," Trump said. "I don't know if [Bush] lied or not. I know the CIA and other agencies knew something bad was going to happen. They did nothing about it."

Bush, who was on the campaign trail with his brother Jeb last night, stood by his leadership.

"Strength is not empty rhetoric. It is not bluster. It is not theatrics,” George W. Bush said. “This is a serious election for a serious job."

This guy is a fucking idiot. How come a person like him run for president? Shit is making the US electorial race like a joke to other countries.

He shows the true side of the GOP at least, even though he can be a bit extreme at times

 

[GoldenEye 007]

For his eligibility for the presidency asking whether or not he's considered a "natural born citizen." I think his full statement on Facebook clarified that. He's just calling him a liar separately.

Trump isn't making it look a joke, the ignorant masses that support him are.

 

[deadlast]

Do it Trump, DO IT!

That's kinda because it is a joke.

I'd disagree with you here. Trump represents the ugly side of the Republican voter base, but he's way more outrageous than the GOP's core.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

At this point couldn't either sue each other for slander?

 

[Jerm411]

Agent Trump puttin in work for the Dems...

 

[Milly Osworth]

When America eventually falls as the superpower in the world, people in 100 years will probably think Trump caused it. What a moron.

 

[Goro Majima]

Works for me because Cruz is awful.

 

[zethren]

I dislike Cruz more than I dislike Trump.

Do it.

 

[ebullientprism]

I'd disagree with you here. Trump represents the ugly side of the Republican voter base, but he's way more outrageous than the GOP's core.

Wouldnt the fact that he is leading the pack by some distance suggest that he is the face of the majority of GOP voters? So he is the face of the party.

Unless we arent talking about the userbase but the party and its ideals?

 

[MMaRsu]

Sure thats even worse. I thought maybe a lot of people in the US learned from Bush. This guy seems even worse.

 

[MikeHattsu]

Weren't he already going to sue him for not being a natural born citizen?

 

[Arkeband]

This is the part when Trump dismantles the Republican Party from the inside.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Is this different than when he was going to sue him the other day?

 

[AnathemicOne]

Do it Trump, no really do it... please.

 

[Nibel]

Sure thats even worse. I thought maybe a lot of people in the US learned from Bush. This guy seems even worse.

Frustration can do things to you man, at least this is how I explain Trump's success to myself

 

[Orbis Tabula]

"I think this guy can't be the President, but I'm willing to let it slide if he stops lying about me!"

 

[Neuromancer]

He has no intention of suing Cruz. It's just theatrics. I'm not even sure how suing someone for lying would work.

 

[Generalpsyduck]

What's with Republican and suing political rivals?

 

[teruterubozu]

He should sue his way to the presidency. Sue Cruz, the RNC, the electoral college, etc.

 

[Dishwalla]

By this logic shouldn't he sue Obama and Clinton too? All I ever hear from the Right is how much Obama and Clinton lie.

 

[Auto_aim1]

I think he wants to sue because he's not a natural born citizen not because he lies lol. These sites keep spamming articles all day so I can't really tell anymore.

[Miles X]

OP try doing some research, it's pretty well known he wants to sue Cruz for being Canadian.

 

[besada]

That would be more hurtful if it weren't coming from someone whose country is about to put Geert Wilders in power.

 

[RPGCrazied]

"Hey media, talk about me nonstop for another week!"

All it is. A bag of hot air to maintain attention.

 

[Diprosalic]

it always has been.

 

[Mr. Sam]

There are laws against slander, no?

 

[Prologue]

Good.

Cruz is scum

This post is truly universal, and can be used at every US election.

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so scary.

 

[Pamplemousse]

I hope he doesn't. The Repub base won't like that. 😒

The party is not its voters, but its candidates and canvassers. One major issue is that Trump is a pied piper leading potential Republican voters away from the party.

 

[jmdajr]

But this is the first time a joke candidate actually has a shot.

Although people will say, maybe it was Ronald Regan. But hey, at least he was Governor of Kalifornia.

edit: Does Trump handle his own Twitter?

 

[Kibbles]

If going to a kill the gays rally didn't hurt Cruz's campaign nothing will. Sue him but I doubt anything will happen.

edit: Does Trump handle his own Twitter?

I would imagine he is one of the few candidates that does write his own tweets the majority of the time because they sound exactly like how he speaks. But anytime something messy gets retweeted, he has blamed it on an intern.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

It is absolutely UNREAL that Trump is forcing dubya to defend his legacy

unreal

palpatine's defended himself as well today I think

 

[gutter_trash]

Cruz deserves it

 

[karmaforgotme]

If Cruz is the nominee I can't wait to see the Democrat ad starring all quotes from Trump.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

He shows the true side of the GOP at least, even though he can be a bit extreme at times

The true side of GOP is to donate money to Hillary?

Trump is a panderer to the point he's just saying gibberish with no real substance, it's disappointing to see the support he's getting. He was a registered democrat until recently.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

It's a serious election on the dem side, a farce on the other, and you best believe if trump gets the nom, he's gonna bring the other right down to his level in a debate.

 

[Anoregon]

Trump really is the hero we deserve but not the hero we need right now. Or maybe the inverse of that?

 

[gutter_trash]

If Cruz is the nominee I can't wait to see the Democrat ad starring all quotes from Trump.

it's impossible for Cruz, he is limited to the ultra religious nutters. that's his ceiling

Trump is tapping the broader base of lower income, middle class, blue collar, non-college educated and Reagan democrats. Trump knows exactly what he is doing

Don't want to start a new thread but did you guys see that Jeb Bush's team let jebbush.com expire and Trump bought it and now it redirects to donaldjtrump.com?

Cruz is the biggest liar in this election, trump is right.
