Sen. Ted Cruz defended what’s being dubbed the “voter-less” Republican nomination process that gave him a sweeping victory in Colorado and accused his rival Donald Trump of childish behavior over his loss.
“Donald has been yelling and screaming. A lot of whining. I’m sure some cursing. And some late-night fevered tweeting,” Cruz said, speaking to supporters in Irvine, California, Fox News reported. “Whine is something best served with cheese,” he said in another appearance in San Diego as the GOP candidate continued the attack against his rival.
Trump blasted Republican leadership in Colorado after Cruz grabbed 34 delegates in the state’s convention on Saturday. “It’s a totally corrupt, rigged system,” he said.
But Colorado’s system was in place long before the weekend, leading the Texas senator to address Trump’s complaints directly. “Donald, it ain’t stealing when the voters vote against you. It is the voters reclaiming this country and reclaiming sanity,” he said, according to Fox.
Cruz drove home the point in a post on Twitter.
65K Coloradans voted–they just voted against Trump. That’s 11 elections in a row we’ve won. #WhiningIsntWinning https://t.co/m0NrRh5mFu

@FoxNews Cruz is showing himself to be very nasty and petty as well. Very unattractive. Really turning me off to him and the primary process

@Karey1975 @NancyLaporte3 @FoxNews pointing out that Americans were robbed of their right to vote is petty? Seems kind of important to me.

@Millermtgirl @Towel27 @tedcruz @realDonaldTrump New flash. Parties are private organizations. Not part of the constitution.

@FoxNews * Lyin’ Ted Cruz is fine with millions in Colorado not getting to vote. Donors bought many of the delegates. Total corruption.
