Cruz Spox: Trump’s Bid a ‘Seinfeld Candidacy’; ‘It’s About Nothing’

‘It’s a campaign about nothing; It’s like listening to the weather report’

BURNETT: "You’ve got Donald Trump here of course. Now he’s got people behind him in his shot. He’s got his thousands of people. He’s back at his big rallies."
TYLER: "Yes. You know, I was wondering who was going to replace Garrison Keillor. It sounds like (INAUDIBLE). You know, this is like the “Seinfeld” candidacy. I don’t know what this camp — it is about nothing. The whole campaign is about nothing. I didn’t hear one substantive piece of anything — of policy there. Nothing about immigration. Nothing about job creation, nothing about what’s going on in North Korea right now. Nothing about defeating ISIS. I mean, this is amazing. This is a “Seinfeld” candidacy. It’s about nothing."
BURNETT: "Jeff, what do you say to that? I mean, he spent the first several minutes of the speech talking about, you know, his campaigns, the polls and performance. Not policy."
LORD: "Well, he has it right. I mean, it’s the beginning of a speech here. I mean, let’s face it. This campaign is going on for months and months and months. Rick, Rick, the campaign has been going on for months." 
TYLER: "It’s like a show."
LORD: "He has position papers."
TYLER: "I’d paid money to go see that."
LORD: "He spent — well, Rick, Rick, I’m beginning to think of Senator Cruz’s words that when one loses, one doesn’t like it and you lost."
TYLER: "We’re not losing, Jeffrey. We were winning." 
LORD: "Well, when you come in third, that’s not a victory, Rick."
TYLER: "Well, we came in first in Iowa. So, you’re one. We’re one. I mean, that is just amazing."
LORD: "Well, I mean, you know, your contempt for the voters of South Carolina is amazing. I mean, they seem to be liking what he’s having to say."
TYLER: "Oh, I like it too."
LORD: "And I like Senator Cruz."
BURNETT: "Rick, what do you say? — Contempt for the voters of South Carolina, Rick, from Ted Cruz?"
TYLER: "No, of course not. But listen, he has contempt for the voters of South Carolina because he doesn’t tell them anything. It’s a campaign about nothing. It’s like listening to the weather report."
LORD: "Well, Rick —"
TYLER: "I mean, there’s —"
LORD: "Rick, who is the judge of this, the people of South Carolina or you?"
