Ted Cruz held an unscheduled press conference today, the main purpose of which seems to have been to highlight the fact that the Trump campaign has threatened to sue him over ads his campaign is running in South Carolina, highlighting his pro-choice record. Cruz opened the press conference by reading portions of the letter, and declaring that if Trump filed the lawsuit, he would respond with a motion for sanctions. Take a look:

It's going both ways hot and heavy.
BIG difference is, Cruz is going after Trump's policies and where he stands on issues, and pointing out where they differ, as any candidate competing for an election would do.
whereas Trump goes after Cruz for the way he's running his campaign and making up empty baseless attacks against his character. Not once have I heard Trump attack Cruz on any of his policies or stances, nor have I heard Trump defend his, other than call someone a liar.
It is interesting to note, that Ted uses clips of Trumps own words in his ads. It does make it kind of hard to defend against that, so I can understand why the trumpertantrums have commenced.

Well, this is about winning a primary, isn’t it? The outcome is everything...all else is politics.

To: All
“...Cruz: By threatening that if we will not pull down the ad, Mr. Trump will seek immediate legal action to prevent the continued broadcast of this ad and to hold me jointly and severally liable to the fullest extent of the law for any damages resulting therefrom. You know, I have to say to Mr. Trump, you have been threatening frivolous lawsuits for your entire adult life. Even in the annals of frivolous lawsuits, this takes the cake. So Donald, I want to encourage you that if you want to file a lawsuit challenging this ad, claiming it is defamation, file the lawsuit.
It is a remarkable contention that an ad that plays video of Donald Trump speaking on national television is somehow defamation. The operative words in that ad come from Donald Trump’s own mouth.
Cruz went on in this vein for quite some time, outlining what a ridiculous legal threat Trump is making here. Consider the gauntlet thrown down on this one.
UPDATE: Here is the letter itself, if anyone wants to see it.

Triple cute! That's the highest cute I can award you. Next you get the âbullyâ label. : )
As Teddy would say, "Bully for you!"
(Label away, CW. Works abysmally in both directions.)
To: Axeslinger
So transparent - can’t reconcile Cruz’s lies so default to ad hominem. Doesn’t take rocket science to see it.

Trump for President. Destroy liberals, the sickness is all around us and look what it has done to America.
To: 20yearsofinternet
No one has ever suggested Cruzâs shame mailers were illegal, except for Trump, when he claimed Ted Cruz stole it and committed fraud....
