In A First, Trump Goes On Offensive Against Cruz

[TexasTowelie]

Billionaire Donald Trump on Friday went on the offensive against U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, putting an end to the most closely watched alliance in the GOP race for the White House.

Speaking in Iowa, Trump launched his first attack on Cruz by zeroing in on the senator's opposition to ethanol standards, an issue dear to Iowan hearts.

"He’s got to come a long way because he’s right now for the oil," Trump said at a rally in Des Moines. "I understand it. Oil pays him a lot of money. He’s got to be for oil, right? The oil companies give him a lot of money, but I’m with you.”

Later in the rally, Trump suggested Cruz's stance on ethanol subsidies could be a stumbling block in the first-in-the-country caucus state, where the senator has been rising in the polls.

2. Here's one where I'm totally on Trump's side.

I hate Cruz more than I hate any three of those Republican bastards combined.

This is just a policy attack. It's going to get personal real soon. I anticipate that with great relish.

3. There's an article in the Guardian that says Cruz is using Facebook analytics to craft his message..

He's literally analyzing his base to see what they want to hear, then telling it to them!

5. How dares he knock Teddy like that?

Teddy has always been like a brother to Trump! Heck, they even have the same last name, "Crump"!
