"Nobody likes him," Trump said, Mediaite reported. "Nobody in Congress likes him anywhere once they get to know him. He's got an edge that's not good."

He went on to paint Cruz as a hypocrite and someone who wants to "look like Robin Hood" to the American public – defending them from a so-called greedy corporate world – while at the same time taking loans from Goldman Sachs, Trump said.

Trump also slammed Cruz for hitting New Yorkers for their liberal values during the most recent Republican debate, calling the characterization a "disgrace." And in one final hit, Trump said Cruz was the "biggest advocate" for bringing Chief Justice John Roberts to the Supreme Court – reminding voters how it was Roberts who was the ultimate voice in upholding Obamacare during its challenge on tax status.

On that, Trump said it was interesting how Cruz supported a justice who "absolutely set the conservative movement back," Mediaite reported.
