Donald Trump was warming up for the debate on Saturday in the key South Carolina primary — by trash talking the other Republican candidates on Friday.
Trump spewed out a series of tweets against various rivals. The most notable target was his chief opponent in this Southern primary, Ted Cruz. Trump carried out a full-on assault against Cruz’s credentials for religious voters:
How can Ted Cruz be an Evangelical Christian when he lies so much and is so dishonest?

And then he went back to the well of birtherism, with a direct threat to his Canadian-born foe:
If @TedCruz doesn’t clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen.

On Jeb Bush:
Lightweight @JebBush is spending a fortune of special interest against me in SC. False advertising- desperate and sad!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 12, 2016
And here’s a twofer about both Bush and Marco Rubio:
Last time lightweight @JebBush tried to knock off @marcorubio he made a total fool of himself. If he doesn’t do better this time, he is out!
