Trump is on the cusp of imploding. It's the glorious Trump-Cruz War of 2016

— Among conservatives, Donald Trump can typically do no wrong — until he attacks Ted Cruz.

On Saturday, Trump drew boos from a grassroots conservative crowd during remarks at the South Carolina Tea Party Coalition Convention for his attack on Cruz's previously undisclosed loans.

"You give a campaign contribution to Ted Cruz, you get whatever the hell you want," he said, before boos erupted from the crowd.

Trump went on as the boos grew louder: "Say whatever you want, it's okay, he didn't report his bank loans. He's got bank loans from Goldman Sachs, he's got bank loans from Citibank, folks, and then he acts like Robin Hood?"

One man in the crowd, 71-year-old Air Force veteran Joe Bates, stood up and shouted angrily, wagging his finger at the candidate.

Expect the Fundies to declare Trump to be possessed by Satan and that anyone voting for Trump is going to Hell.

People have been saying his campaign was imploding for months. Some boos won't shift the bar that much.

I want to get a real handle on some numbers with him involved in it. A dose of reality - for them and us.
