Washington – Trump Calls Cruz ‘One Hell Of A Competitor’

Washington – Donald Trump is shifting his focus to Hillary Clinton.

The Republican front-runner addressed supporters at Trump Tower in New York on Tuesday night after his chief Republican rival, Ted Cruz dropped out. The announcement came after Trump scored his seventh consecutive victory in Indiana.

He called Cruz “one hell of a competitor,” calling his decision to drop out of the race “brave.”

He said that while he wasn’t sure if Cruz likes him, he praised his former rival as a “smart” and “tough guy” who had an “amazing future” ahead of him.

Trump then quickly turned his attention to his likely Democratic opponent in the general election.

Trump says, “We’re going after Hillary Clinton.”

The New York billionaire criticized Clinton’s recent comments about the coal industry. He says she wants to close mines and he promised to help coal miners get back to work.
