Donald Trump slammed fellow GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz as a “nasty guy” and a “hypocrite” Sunday, as Cruz defended his attacks on NY values. “Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him”, Trump said in an interview on ABC’s This Week that aired on Sunday. “Nobody in Congress likes him”. And they probably pretty much knew those buildings were coming down and they’re going up to save lives, ‘ he continued. So I’ve got a very simple question for the folks here: “How do we not get burned again?” You can’t make deals with people like that and it’s not a good thing.

Both Cruz and Trump were campaigning on Tuesday in New Hampshire, which holds the second contest in the country’s primary season.
Ted Cruz on Monday accused his Republican rival Donald Trump of not being a trustworthy conservative and said the billionaire investor is becoming “rattled” and “dismayed” by his gains.
“I’d like Ted Cruz to go talk about NY values to the firefighters who rushed to the towers on 9/11, and the police and EMTs, to the courageous NY police officers who keep our streets safe”, he added.
“I’m not sure that he knows what he means, to be honest with you”, Trump told CNN. This being said, Trump pointed out that Cruz isn’t a “natural-born Citizen” which is one of the qualifications needed to run for office. When a woman asked how she could convince neighbors and friends who are supporters of Trump, Cruz took a more circumspect route to his criticism.
“Look, I’m very pro-choice”, Trump said on the video.
Trump’s rhetoric represents a shift in strategy as Cruz has risen in national polls and overtaken Trump in Iowa, the key first-nominating state. “I apologize to the millions of New Yorkers who have been let down by the liberal politicians in that state”. “I guess as conservatives continue to unite behind our campaign, as his poll numbers continue to go down, he’s a little testier”.
In the days since they clashed at a debate Thursday in South Carolina, Trump has hammered Cruz over loans and questioned whether he is eligible for the presidency because of his Canadian birth. “If he wants to engage in insults that’s his problem, I like Donald Trump, I respect Donald Trump”.
Trump, who is comparatively moderate on LGBT rights, hit out at Cruz for his “hypocrisy” on the issue.
“Believe me, if I could say ‘liberal Jews, ‘ I would”, Killam said.

“Instead of celebrating Christmas, New Yorkers celebrate a pagan holiday called “Festivus, ‘ ” Killam’s said in his best Cruz impersonation”.
