Actually, Cruz started it. He said something during what was supposed to be a closed door meeting that was recorded secretly and leaked to the media.

What a punk this Donald Trump is turning out to be.

He was the one that started it in public. And now Trump is coming out belatedly and insisting that he got his little chip knocked off of his thin-skinned shoulder in some unspecified manner in a private meeting, which is apparently his justification for going full A-hole on Cruz, as he clearly has over the last few weeks. Truly unbelievable. And to anyone who really listens to what Donald Trump says, that is what they quickly realize about him, that he is truly unbelievable.

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz has maintained his composure and has responded by informing the public of Trump's past statements and his historical record. Cruz has not responded with the kind of vitriolic, slime-ball name-calling and personal attacks that Trump has towards Cruz.

In fact, Trump is increasingly behaving like a petulant child. Just like another well known narcissist that we all know, Barack Obama.

The close comparisons and the similarities between Donald Trump and Barack Obama just continue to mount.

Trump did strike a chord with the American fed up with the direction of the country when it comes to law and order , illegal immigration, terrorist where the democrats are weak. People are angry and rightly so but Trump is too extreme.


Thin skinned, arrogant, egoistic, narcissist, bully, the I'm great, I can't do no wrong, I'm above you all attitude. There is a line between being proud of your achievement and arrogance. He is on the arrogance spectrum. There is nothing down to earth about him.


You can be firm but maintain a good composure without having to name call and brag.

He talks about himself incessantly, more than Barack Obama does even. Listen to him the next time he speaks. He is at least as self absorbed and narcissistic as Barack Obama. See for yourself the next time you get the chance.

Also, if there is a more openly arrogant person in this country right now than Donald Trump, you will have to tell me who that could possibly be, because I really do not know.

Oh I see it all the time. Initially, I liked the ideas, but then they are just ideas without any substance on how to achieve these ideas. He has become more pompous and as his poll numbers grew higher, he became less humble and he is showing his true colors.


Like I said, you can disagree with someone without having to name call and talk like a 5 year old to make a point. I'm going to be the greatest President God ever created, really Donald???


The Repubs used to make fun of Obama and the greek columns and god like attitude, how is trump different? Obama is the good nice talker while Trump is the one who talks like a 5 year old. Both of them are on the narcissist level. Elitist I might say.


Sarah Palin said Trump is not an Elitist??? What kind of cheap Chinese crack is she on?

Trumpf provided a lot of money in campaign contributions over the last 20-30 yrs to get us to this point.

And yes, Trump worries me. A lot.


it worries me more people putting Trump in the same argument of Pol Pot, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Lenin, Idi Amin, Mao, Ayatollah Khomeini, Juan Peron, Osama Ben Laden, Sadam Hussain and the three kooks from North Korea with no evidence or valid argument to support this.


None of Trump's proposals resembles anything of those leaders......you can agree or disagree with Trump but people loses any legit argument they might have against Trump with those comparisons.

You can certainly make the argument that you hate Ted Cruz more than Donald Trump, but you cannot make a credible argument that Ted Cruz is anywhere near as arrogant as Donald Trump.

If all you have to offer are irrational emotional spewings, I will leave that to you. But please do watch Donald Trump the next time you get the chance and take note of how astonishingly self absorbed and narcissistic he clearly presents himself as when he is speaking.
