a toxic mix of demagoguery and nonsense. trump hit back tweeting that perry doesn t understand what the word demagoguery means. adding that perry should be forced to take an ixq test. some republican contenders are embracing trump. hoping to win his supporters if the real estate mogul s political star fades. texas senator ted cruz had warm words for trump following a private meeting between the two this week in new york. a big fan of donald s. one of the thing i respect about donald trump is he s willing to stand up and speak the truth and he s willing to take on washington. one thing is clear, trump s entrance to the race has made a big slash. look no further than next week s cover of the new yorker. and all the attention on trump has left some republicans, such as new jersey governor chris christie looking to change the
the establishment in washington. but cruz has actually been complimentary from the start of donald trump. today he tried to get in on trump-mania. listen to what he said after the meeting. well, i am a big fan of donald s. we talked about the race and talked about how we were each enjoying it and about how there is a need for more truth-tellers. one of the things i respect about druconald trump is he s willing to speak the truth and take on washington. there are not a lot of people in washington willing to take on both parties, democrats and republicans. i think people are fed up with what i call the washington cartel. he s talking about the truth. the truth is trump is more likely to take votes away from ted cruz s world than more moderate candidates. we ll see how long the bro-manse lasts. i appreciate it, dana bash. $10 million not chump change.
