Trump seems cool as a cucumber so far.

If Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz's dig at arch-nemesis Donald Trump sounded good, that's because it was cribbed from an Oscar-winning screenwriter.
The Texas Senator used a line from the 1995 movie "The American President" to warn Trump to stop threatening his wife — only Cruz neglected to attribute the source.
"If Donald wants to get into a character fight, he's better off sticking with me, because Heidi is way out of his league," Cruz told CNN Wednesday morning.
That's nearly verbatim from the Aaron Sorkin-penned scene in which Michael Douglas' Commander in Chief slams a rival by saying, "If you want a character debate Bob, you better stick with me because Sydney Ellen Waid is way out of your league."

So what. Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” was stolen from Reagan’s 1980 campaign.
Did I miss the part where Cruz disavowed the ad?
Time for George T Bush III to withdraw for the good of the Party.
Pray America wakes
Amazing that folks think this line is stolen from some movie. The response is pretty much what anyone would say. These media tools are just that.....tools. The problem is folks actually pay money to read what these turd think.
I had forgotten this movie even existed. Libturds like the writer watch it ever weekend, masturbating thinking about having both a tough and liberal president.
Her membership in the CFR is enough for me.
Thanks for posting this.
Why didn’t Cruz credit the line?
Real men don’t twitter.
Except in this case his campaign went after Melania Trumps character first. Cruz is no movie start.
Losing a tight race yes. Imploding? A little grandiose there Trumpeteer.
On another thread, I showed you that was a fake Trump tweet.
Please ask the moderator to remove the post.
“it’s a left wing movie with a left wing president.”
I hated that homage to Bill Clinton. And isn’t it just like the GOP-e’s current tool to quote it?
Cruz started this shameful exchange through `Make America (Totally) Awesome’ (fer sure dude) and now he fakes umbrage.
“Oh no!” protest his enablers. “That’s illegal!”
No. It’s a phone call from Liz Nair: “Don’t worry about it Ted. We’re going to fix his wagon with the Mormons.”
Cruz reminds me of a New England witch-hunter examining a suspect, a nubile young woman, for “marks of Satan” by looking between her toes, behind her knees, on her belly—all the while licking his lips. Maybe because his own wife looks as hard as a piece of flint?
It’s just more hardball, unethical chicanery from the Cruz camp.
Yup, "show me the money" is cruz's main slogan.
What thread is that? Are you saying that Trump did not threaten Ted Cruz’s wife on Twitter?
“DONALD TRUMP STEALS LINE FROM THIRD GRADER”
Ted is such a brain trust.
Trump’s wife has already been disrespected, and yet Ted spins it that his wife is the one who was attacked.
This is a brain trust we need on the SCOTUS?
Seldom have I seen a guy with less common sense.
WOW!! Howabout THAT!! Thank you Governor!
GO TRUMP!!!
Trump seems cool as a cucumber so far.
exit82 is saying that he showed you that was a fake Trump tweet.
Quit parsing like a Cruz.
Geez - is THIS what we have to look forward to from The MasterDebater?
