Donald Trump: ‘Not One Senator Is Endorsing Canada Ted!’

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter Friday night to blast 2016 rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), GOP Sen. Ben Sasse,  and also Fox News.

The great State of Nebraska can do much better than @BenSasse as your Senator. Saw him on @greta – totally ineffective. Wants paid for pols.

.@BenSasse looks more like a gym rat than a U.S. Senator. How the hell did he ever get elected? @greta

Trump’s criticism of Sasse follows a series of Sunday-night tweets from the Nebraska Senator aimed at Trump. Politico reported:

“On Sunday night, Sasse tweeted five questions for Trump, ranging from the personal (“You brag abt many affairs w/ married women. Have you repented? To harmed children & spouses? Do you think it matters?”) to the policy-based (Q2: You’ve said you “hate the concept of guns.” Why the change? When did it happen? What’s the 2nd Amendment mean to you?).”

“We are in a moment of constitutional crisis. America already has one post-constitutional party; we don’t need another,” Sasse later said in a statement.

Sasse reportedly went to Iowa to campaign against Trump, making appearances with both Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-TX).

Trump then tweeted a message aimed at his 2016 rival, Cruz, calling him “Canada Ted.”

Amazing that Ted Cruz can’t even get a Senator like @BenSasse, who is easy, to endorse him. Not one Senator is endorsing Canada Ted!

After blasting Sasse and Cruz, Trump then went after Fox News for not mentioning that he raised $6 million for veterans at his event Thursday night, instead of participating in Fox News’s GOP debate.

.@FoxNews is the only network that does not even mention my very successful event last night. $6,000,000 raised in one hour for our VETS.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2016

.@oreillyfactor The people of Iowa love the fact that I stuck up for my rights, as I will do for the U.S. Also got $6,000,000 for our VETS!

***UPDATE***

Sen. Ben Sasse responded in a series of seven posts on Twitter to Trump’s Friday night tweets:

Good grief. With a response like this you'd think I asked Mr @realDonaldTrump abt the length of his fingers or something important like that

BTW, since we're friends now, when you get to answering my Questns, mind if I add a 6th?

I'm not sure who this is directed at, but it isn't true in either case

Mr @realDonaldTrump Q6: Obama Admin has used Nixon-style tactics on opponents. You say, If someone screws you, screw them back harder (cont)

— Ben Sasse (@BenSasse) January 30, 2016

(Q6 cont) As Pres, would you use the tools of the federal govt against opponents?
We don't a Republican version of Obama, or another Nixon.

Mr @realDonaldTrump
Lots of really great Americans are considering supporting you.
They deserve real answers.
Please consider it.
Goodnight.
