Donald Trump defends his position on the constitution as "set in stone" and hits Ted Cruz for claiming to be a "constitutionalist" but being unwilling to practice the way the constitution was set up and "supposed to work." From Trump's interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper that aired Wednesday night:





TRUMP: It's just words. Look, its just words. Ted, it's just words with Ted. Ted is a guy who's somebody he's a very inflexible guy who never -- he'll never make a deal. You talk about gridlock now. If Ted Cruz became president you wouldn't have anything done and Washington would be a total piece of stone. You wouldn't make any -- just I understand you know, he talks about he's a constitutionalist. OK, the constitution was set up with senators and congressmen and you are supposed to work and make deals.



COOPER: Do you see the constitution ...



TRUMP: And two parties. And it could be more than two parties but two parties.



COOPER: Do you see the constitution as a living breathing document that -- or do you see that something set in stone from long ago? Those are sort of ...



TRUMP: I see the constitution as set in stone. I see it as one of the great documents of all time. I also see it as something that says you're going to sit down and make deals. I mean look, if Ted wants something, health care and he won't negotiate, the other side is not going to negotiate either. There is going to be a little bit of movement. And that's wrong.
