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.

somebody’s just spamming the threads...somebody didn’t watch the video.

those trumpeters...they’re just so darn cute with their cluelessness.

[ripnbang]

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

[Cincinatus' Wife]

You’re doing yoeman’s work bumping the thread.

More FReepers will see Cruz’s presser due to your hard work.

Thanks guys.

Carry on!

[ripnbang]

That’s an awesome reason to vote for someone...good on you.

[pilgrim]

'Gotta keep' feeding the anger!!

[ripnbang]

Mitchell used to be a Cruz supporter.

Cruz LIES again:

"If Trump is elected the Second Amendment could be 'written out of the Constitution.'"

The irony here is Cruz didn't need to lie. If he had remained honest, he would still be competitive. Liars lie, they can't help it.— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) February 17, 2016

What about the cone of shame? That would be better, IMO

[Lucky9teen]

When you're a jet, you're a jet all the way!!!

[dynoman]

Ted's a liar. And doubling down on lies. Why watch it??

[Axeslinger]

spoken like a true koolaid drinking fool. bottoms up, bud.

“...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 “bully” label. : )

As Teddy would say, "Bully for you!"

(Label away, CW. Works abysmally in both directions.)

[dynoman]

So transparent - can’t reconcile Cruz’s lies so default to ad hominem. Doesn’t take rocket science to see it.

[Logical me]

When Trump becomes President you sick little shi!s will crap a brick.

Trump for President. Destroy liberals, the sickness is all around us and look what it has done to America.

[Lucky9teen]

No one has ever suggested Cruz’s shame mailers were illegal, except for Trump, when he claimed Ted Cruz stole it and committed fraud....
