Republican presidential candidates made their way across Nevada on Tuesday, making their cases to supporters before tonight's caucuses — and getting in a few digs as well.
In Sparks, Donald Trump urged supporters to get out and caucus. He called rival Ted Cruz the "single biggest liar" he's ever known and a "soft, weak, little baby," and told backers to be on alert at the caucuses because Cruz's campaign engages in "dishonest stuff." "You just gotta be careful," he said. "They have paper ballots. They have the whole deal going. So just watch out." He didn't say anything negative about Marco Rubio, telling the crowd; "I've been very nice to Rubio, because he hasn't hit me. When he does, you will see what happens."
Both Rubio and Cruz spoke out against Trump at their own Nevada events, with Rubio telling supporters at a casino in Las Vegas that "being angry is not a plan," and voters shouldn't back someone just because they are "the loudest person in the room." Cruz has been saying for days that Trump is a liberal and not a conservative, and told supporters Trump's views "change every day."
