Ted Cruz's father says Donald Trump "would be worse than Hillary Clinton," as the nation's commander in chief, but the billionaire businessman would be unable to beat her in the general election in November.
Rafael Cruz, an Evangelical Christian preacher, told Stephen K. Bannon on SiriusXM Satellite Radio's
"Breitbart News Daily:"
"We've got to realize, Donald Trump is more of a Democrat than a Republican. He has been funding Democrats like [Sen.] Chuck Schumer, like [former Rep.] Anthony Weiner, like [New York City Mayor Bill] de Blasio and many others.
"For 40 years he has been supporting all these ultra-liberal politicians. He would be worse than Hillary Clinton, but he cannot beat Hillary Clinton … Poll after poll after poll after poll after poll shows that if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, he loses to Hillary Clinton by double digits.
"That would be the dream ticket for Hillary Clinton because all the polls show that Donald Trump would lose and would lose by a landslide."
In another shot at Trump, the GOP presidential front-runner, and a pitch for his son, who trails in second place, Rafael Cruz said:
"We don't need a deal maker. We don't need a bully. We don't need another imperial president like we have today. We need a statesman.
"If there's one thing Sen. Cruz understands, its servant leadership. He understands that he would go to the White House to be a servant to every American."
