You look at these primaries so far, do you realize they don't like [Ted] Cruz either, Ted - Chris [Christie]. In fact, maybe they dislike Cruz more than [Donald] Trump. But Cruz and Trump are the only guys that have won anything. The establishment candidates in this race cannot get noticed.
This is what happens in politics. The establishment doesn't like Ted Cruz either. It's not just Donald Trump. That's because he is who he is. He is conservative. He does want to get government out of people's lives and that - we can't have that in the establishment.

Trump is popular, Trump is big precisely because Republican voters are angry at establishment Republicans.

Ted Cruz cut his teeth politically in Texas on disrupting the Republican establishment, and Texans love a fighter.

Ted Cruz new line of attack is that I`ve become establishment. Oh, give me a break. No, he`s having a hard time. He had his moment, and he blew it.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz announced he is running for president. Ted Cruz was born in Canada, his father fled to the United States from Cuba, and yet Ted Cruz is against immigration. Isn't that odd?
Ted Cruz said he wanted to find a compromise. Ted Cruz said he wanted to bring 11 million people out of the shadows. Ted Cruz said that he wanted immigration reform to pass. Here's the bottom line. I tried to solve a very difficult issue, and we tried to produce the best and most conservative bill possible in a Senate controlled by Harry Reid at the time, and then send it over to the House and have them, conservatives, make it even better.
You have [Donald] Trump and [Ted] Cruz battling it out, and the moderate establishment candidates like Chris Christie or Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, John Kasich - they have formed a circular firing squad.
I dislike Ted Cruz as much as the next everyone. But that's no reason to be rude to Ted's loving wife and possible hostage.
