Trump: ‘Whackjob’ Like Glenn Beck Supporting Cruz Is a ‘Negative, Not a Positive’
SCARABOROUGH: “Why is Ted Cruz’s numbers slipping? Is it because of your charge that he is from Canada and may not be able to be president if he is elected?”
TRUMP: “Well, he does have a problem there. There is no question about it. Nobody knows if he can even run. He has to solve that problem. Get a declaratory judgment from the courts. I mean, he could be running and end up being thrown out of the race in the middle of it.” [crosstalk]
SCARABOROUGH: “Now, do you really believe that Donald?”
TRUMP: “And the Democrats — you know the Democrats are going sue, the first day. If he got the nomination that will be a lawsuit day one —“
SCARABOROUGH: “Actually that will.”
TRUMP: “— and the lawsuit is going to take years take years to resolve. So, I think, you know there is a big problem.” [crosstalk]
SCARABOROUGH: “I was going to ask you, Donald, if you really believed that. But then you followed up with what is the truth. Which is, the second he got the nomination the Democrats would go to court.”
BRZEZINSKI: “OK. But Ted Cruz now in every poll is — is not slipping. I just read that the latest one out of Iowa, and there are just a few points between you two.”
TRUMP: “Well, I don’t know. I assume it’s close in Iowa. And that’s the one place where it’s close and it could very well be close. I think we’re going to do great in Iowa, but you never know. I think Iowa is the one place that’s close. Every other state I’m leading by a lot. I mean, I just left New Hampshire last night and it’s unbelievable the lead up there — I hit 40 or 42 points up there. And I think the only place where we could be close is Iowa. I see it both ways. I see [indecipherable] I have very big lead. Because I saw in some polls yesterday where we have a very big lead. But I think Ted is a nasty guy. People don’t like him, at all. I mean, he’s got all of these senators, Republican senators, he doesn’t have support of one of them. He gets a whacko like — like this Glenn Beck who is always — every time I see him, he is crying, he’s like so emotional. What a mess! And he gets a whackjob like Glenn Beck to support him, and — which is, I think, a negative, not a positive. Now, I think Ted’s got some problems. And you know, he doesn’t tell the truth.”
