With the Republican primary in South Carolina just days away, Ted Cruz has stepped up his fight with Donald Trump, who is threatening to sue him unless he stops airing what the billionaire candidate calls "false ads" and retracts what he called a series of lies.
Cruz questioned both Trump's conservative credentials and whether he had the temperament to be president.
"The people of South Carolina want a consistent conservative they can trust," Cruz told reporters before his rally in Aiken.
Cruz, who is trying to weaken Trump's standing among South Carolina's social conservatives and evangelical Christians, also released a new television ad attacking Trump, showing footage of him praising Planned Parenthood and Hillary Clinton. It ends with the line, "South Carolina cannot trust Donald Trump."
Trump is challenging Cruz's eligibility to serve in the White House, calling him "the most dishonest guy I think I've ever met in politics."
"I think he's an unstable person," he said, later declaring: "He's nuts."
. . . Snip . . .
Cruz also blasted Trump's sister, a federal appellate judge, calling her a "radical pro-abortion extremist" who should not be considered for the Supreme Court vacancy.
Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, is a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. Trump has said she would make a good justice, but Cruz said she would not be a good choice, citing an opinion she wrote in 2000 that held a New Jersey law banning late-term abortions placed an "undue burden" on a woman's constitutional right to have the procedure.
Cruz then pointed at Trump's apparent confusion during a Republican debate last year over what constituted the nuclear triad as an example of how the real estate mogul is unprepared to be president.

Guess the point of my post flew over your head.
But thanks for proving it.
Look one post up, please.
Trump has more than handled Ted.
Please folks, take a moment to get back in touch with reality.
Riiiight. Which is why Donnie Boy looks like he is on the verge of losing it.
You may have some points. We’ll have to see how the voters feel.
Trump was joking.
One guy is at 35, and another is around 12%.
You tell me who is coming out on top of this exchange.
Trump is going to pop a vein before the general. The man is nuts. Unstable.
Looks like yet another day has passed where Cruz calls Trump’s (BLESSED IS HIS NAME) bluff and Trump doesn’t deliver on his empty & silly threats. Trump is filled with nothing but bluster.
I laugh at you folks hoping against hope that he will.
All the best to you guys too.
I am only concerned about his health.
Oh yes, I know...
“:^)
Border security and stopping Islam are THE top priorities this nation is facing. If Trump follows through on these two issues, that alone will stop the Left in its tracks and set up future victories on other issues.
It will be sorted out on Saturday. We will see who the voters want, Trump or Cruz.
So Cruz gets to decide who has the temperament to be President? And Cruz lying to his opponents face in the last debate about Trump’s position with respect to abortion and his conservative values and Cruz has the temperament to be President because he lied with a straight face? I don’t think so. Cruz is really sounding desperate and not at all confident about his chances in South Carolina.
Got it. The art of innuendo has reached new heights(?) in our time. Somthin’ to see.
Peace,
SR
Trump sued Univision and had a settlement.
You mean before Cruz started lying about Trump’s policy positions out of desperation.
Democraps will put him over the top in SC then promptly desert him in the general.
