Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s national spokesman unleashed on fellow Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump late Wednesday night, claiming the billionaire is running the “Seinfeld candidacy” and that his bid for the White House is “about nothing.”
Rick Tyler told CNN that Trump, who secured a landslide victory Tuesday in the New Hampshire primary, knows “nothing about immigration, nothing about job creation, nothing about what’s going on in North Korea right now [and] nothing about defeating ISIS.”
“I mean, this is amazing,” Tyler said. “Trump’s own worst enemy is himself.”
Tyler also said Trump’s “whole campaign is about nothing,” and reasoned that the businessman’s penchant for vague statements and broad policy prescriptions is the result of him not being a “true conservative.”
Cruz’s campaign, and the Texas senator himself has been criticizing Trump’s ideological bona fides since before the New York real estate mogul finished second behind Cruz in the Iowa caucuses. The first-term senator’s campaign released an ad Wednesday that rips Trump for his position in favor of eminent domain, bank bailouts, and single-payer healthcare system.
“Look, I got the Trump action figure,” a young boy, holding a doll resembling Trump, tell his friends in the ad. “He pretends to be a Republican.”
