Trump crashes Glenn Beck's caucus speech

Donald Trump crashed the Nevada caucus location at which conservative talk show host Glenn Beck was speaking Tuesday night on behalf of Ted Cruz.

MSNBC was broadcasting a live look at the caucus site, Palo Verde High School in Summerlin, when Trump suddenly showed up and made an impromptu speech of his own.

“We are going to have hopefully a historic night,” Trump said. “I appreciate everybody being here. I wanted to be here myself and say a few words.”

The billionaire informed his Twitter followers he would be “at various caucus sites” throughout Nevada on Tuesday, but didn’t specify where.

Afterward, MSNBC asked Trump about his allegation that Cruz is a liar.

“Ted is gonna start telling the truth … people have gotten wise to him,” Trump said, pointing to Cruz’s third-place finish in South Carolina on Saturday as a problem for the Texas senator. “When he lifts his hands up high, I think he’s going to be very happy."

But less than an hour before, Trump had less kind things to say: “Make sure you get on the Trump line and are not mislead [sic] by the Cruz people. They are bad! BE CAREFUL,” he tweeted.
