Ted Cruz Tells Brody File: Donald Trump Would Play Let's Make A Deal With Democrats
In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Ted Cruz says if Donald Trump were president, he would be cutting endless deals with democrats and GOP establishment figures. “That’s why you’re seeing that Washington establishment leaders saying they want Donald because they say, ‘listen we can work with Donald we can cut a deal with Donald, we can keep doing what we’re doing, we can keep business as usual,’ and they want to keep the gravy train flowing” Cruz continues saying, “Republican leadership cuts deal after deal after deal with Barrack Obama, with Harry Reid, with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and Donald Trump is saying, ‘if you elect me I’ll keep cutting deals, I’ll cut even more deals with the Democrats.’” As for the insults flung his way by Trump, Cruz says the following: “Trump has called me a nasty guy. You know I have to admit politics is kind of interesting, that someone sits there insulting you and says you’re the one that’s nasty...I think the people of Iowa, the people of this country deserve better than just a battle of insults.”
Our interview with Cruz took place Monday night in Des Moines Iowa. The Brody File crew was allowed exclusive access inside Cruz’s private meeting with Iowa pastors in both Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. This interview was conducted between events.
Both Trump and Cruz want to win Iowa but for Cruz it’s more imperative based on the large evangelical voting constituency. His campaign has more than a solid ground game, employing a robust micro-targeting strategy as well as having pastors all over the state organized on caucus night to get their congregants out to vote. He’ll need every single one of them to pull it out because Trump is a force in American politics.

Ted Cruz: “Trump has called me a nasty guy. You know I have to admit politics is kind of interesting, that someone sits there insulting you and says you’re the one that’s nasty! Now listen from my end, I have no intention of reciprocating. He can launch insult after insult after insult. I’m not going to respond in kind, I will sing his praises. Personally I think he’s bold, I think he’s brash, I’m glad he’s in this race, and I think the people of Iowa, the people of this country deserve better than just a battle of insults, but I do think policy differences are fair game.”
