It’s a reference to “ratf*cker” — the nickname given Roger Stone because of his political tactics. Cruz didn’t make the term up.

Theo, the phrase indeed is “ratf*cker” but how stupid can Cruz be as to sublimate his beta maleness and use the word 'copulate' instead? REAL men are not afraid to use the F-word when it is appropriate and I can't think of a more appropriate situation to use it when responding to allegations of marital infidelity against one's wife.

If Cruz had said "look, I think Donald Trump is f--kin' with me, but I have no desire to f--k with him", 99 percent of the people reading or hearing that statement would understand it completely and probably agree with Cruz.

But good God man, Cruz must be politically tone deaf if he thought that it would be ok for him to say that he "doesn't have any desire to copulate with Trump"?!?

Cruz is afraid to man up, legally and literally.
