Cruz on Trump: ‘I’m Not Interested in Personal Insults and Mudslinging’

SCARBOROUGH: “Shouldn’t you be more assertive when Donald Trump comes out and says he wants to keep all Muslims out of the country?”
CRUZ: “Well, look, I’ve said I disagree with that proposal. But, it is amazing how eager the media is. I mean, the number one question I get day in, day out, is please attack Donald Trump.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Right.”
CRUZ: “And, you know I point out my approach to Trump has been the same as my approach to every other Republican candidate, which is that I’m not interested in personal insults and mudslinging.”

SCARBOROUGH: “You have been really forceful though when other Republicans have stepped out of line — (Laughter) you’ve not been afraid to be very forceful on your criticisms of Donald Trump. And you can disagree with people on — where the speed limit should be set — should to be 55, 60, 65 — I think people want to hear more from you because there’s a possibility that you’re the Republican nominee and want you to speak out more forcefully. You disagree with it. How bad of an idea is it? Is it [indecipherable] to who we — what we stand for as Americans or is it just a simple overage?”
CRUZ: “Listen, I get that — that the media wants us to play theater critics and critique every other proposal. What I’m focusing on — are my own policy proposal.”
