Trump: Cruz Won’t ‘Get Anything Through Congress Because Everybody Hates Him’

SCARBOROUGH: “And we have, speaking of John Heilemann, we have John with us, and he has a question for you. John.”
TRUMP: “Hi, John.”
HEILEMANN: “Hey, Donald. I will —” [crosstalk]
TRUMP: “Do you notice I took you out of that group at Mark? You know.”
HEILEMANN: “That’s very nice of you. I appreciate that. Although, I will —” [crosstalk]
TRUMP: “I had to take Mark, because he gave me an ‘A’ in the last debate, so I had to take him out.” (Laughter)
HEILEMANN: “I appreciate that. Although, I will stand up for my colleagues at Bloomberg. We always treat you fairly. Tough but fair is the way Bloomberg Politics treats you in every instance.”
TRUMP: “You’re wrong on that, but you and Mark are fine.”
HEILEMANN: “I’ll stand up for my colleagues until the end of time.” [crosstalk]
SCARABOROUGH: “OK, guys, OK, OK, OK. Enough of this dance. We’ve got to delay. John Heilemann, ask the question, go.”
HEILEMANN: “Let me ask you this question, Mr. Trump. On substance, not on character personality, but in your head-to-head contest with Senator Cruz, what are two or three areas where you disagree on substance with Ted Cruz that are important for voters in Iowa and elsewhere to understand?”
TRUMP: “Well, I think one of the things is the wall and building the wall. Now, he has just come about talking about it, but I want to build a wall and a great wall that will keep a lot of problems out. And believe me, you just have to ask Israel, walls do work. And there is no question about it. On amnesty, you know, he was very, very weak on illegal immigration. Now all of a sudden he has become much stronger. But, you know, this whole thing started with that, it all started with that. I think I will be much better with the military. I think I will be much better with health care and ObamaCare because I’m going to repeal it and replace it. I think there are other issues. And then of course we agree on certain issues. But implementation is important too. I don’t think he’ll implement. He is a politician. All talk, no action. And if you look at his record, I don’t think he will be an implementer. I don’t think he’ll get anything through Congress because everybody hates him. I mean, you know, the senators, you think you are gridlock now? If he gets elected you’ll have grid lock times ten.”
