U.S Presidential candidates Donald Trump, Hilary Clinton and Ted Cruz
blasted each other on Monday night during an exclusive on-air interview
with CNN.
Although the trio weren't sat face to face, they still had a go at each
other while interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper and Wolf Blitzer at the
Aipac stage.
Hilary Clinton, launched her most direct attack yet
on Donald Trump, accusing him of “bigotry and bluster and bullying” and
inciting violence at all his campaign rallies.
While Texas senator Ted Cruz said even though he understands Trump's
widespread support, his campaign is based on lies and he together with
Clinton have traded influence in Washington.
While Trump offered a more subtle attack on rival Hilary Clinton saying
she 'lacked stamina' to become president of America.
Trump said, “I think she doesn’t have the stamina. You watch her life.
You watch how she’ll go away three or four days; she’ll come back. Look,
we’ve got to beat China in trade. We’ve got to beat Isis. We’ve got so
many problems in this country; I say she does not have the stamina to be
a good president ... doesn’t have the energy, she doesn’t have it.
Doesn’t have the strength to be president, in my opinion.”
Republican candidate Ted Cruz said, “The lie behind Donald’s campaign is
that he will stand up to Washington. He is the system. Donald Trump and
Hillary Clinton are flip sides of the same coin. Donald Trump has made
billions buying influence in Washington. Hillary Clinton has made
millions selling influence in Washington.”
Cruz predicted that he would beat Trump in a head-to-head battle if the
Republican convention were to be contested.
Clinton, said “I think it’s important to listen to what he says,” she
said. “You have to take him at his word so to speak. He has been
engaging in bigotry and bluster and bullying.
“And I think when it comes to understanding what he would do as
president there are serious questions that have been raised in this
campaign. Should he be the nominee we’ll have to address them.”
Asked if she believes Trump really is a bully, Clinton replied: “Well, I
think his behaviour certainly qualifies for that. I think his
incitement of violence, his constant urging on of his supporters in
large numbers to go after protesters, his saying I want to punch people
in the face and telling somebody who did punch somebody I will pay your
legal bills, i think that raises very serious questions.”
She recounted some of Trumps' comments from the past few months, ranging
from “calling Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, saying John
McCain was not a war hero, being reluctant to denounce the Ku Klux Klan
and David Duke. And the list goes on.”
