WASHINGTON ¨C Donald Trump previewed a coming political battle with fellow Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, the tea party senator from Texas who many are predicting is jockeying for Trump¡¯s base of support.
¡°Even Cruz, I think he¡¯s going to have to hit me,¡± Trump told a near-capacity crowd of more than 9,000 in Macon, Georgia, during a more than 80-minute speech. ¡°It¡¯s going to be a sad day, but we will hit back ¡ª I promise.¡±
Republicans in Washington have speculated for months that Cruz, who has largely steered clear of criticizing the GOP front-runner, has been angling for the celebrity billionaire¡¯s base of support.
