(NBC) - Donald Trump says he regrets retweeting an unflattering photo of the wife of rival Ted Cruz, a rare move for the Republican front-runner more known for his boasts than backtracking.

"Yeah, it was a mistake," Trump told New York Times.

"If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have sent it."

The retweet set off a war of words between the two candidates, and gave fresh fuel to Democratic candidates and other critics who marveled at a Republican presidential race that had descended into a fight over the candidates' wives.

Trump retweeted the photo compilation showing an unflattering picture of Heidi Cruz and his own wife, Melania, after he accused Cruz of being behind or at least knowing about an ad that featured an old picture of Melania Trump posing nude for GQ magazine.

Cruz has denied any involvement in the ad, which was shared online. Cruz scolded Trump after the retweet, admonishing the businessman: "Donald, real men don't attack women."

told Dowd, according to the column. "So what's your next question?"

Now name calling as an evasion. Nice one! So Trump-like.

You understand how PACs work?

I could form a PAC for Clinton and run ads that undermine her while appearing to support her.

Ccandidates have no control over pacs

What a crock...Melania has said the same in different words....it’s called supporting your husband....any intelligent person knows when someone runs for president their whole family is involved.....you just want an excuse for Trumps crassness!!!

How does it feel to be an establishment stooge in bed with Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Gram, Paul Ryan, Carly Fiorina, Nicky Haley, Golden Sachs, The Club for Growth and the entire globalist GOPe mega donor class against those of us fighting with Trump to preserve the USA?

How does it feel to be siding with 3rd world illegals, Islamics and anti-American globalists?

By God he made an admission..... doom, he’s doomed I say!

You know, Meir was hardly a paragon of political virtue. Read how she and others in their early government worked to keep out of Israel the poor shetl Jews of Europe.

I actually do judge women on their appearances. A woman who cares about her appearance (unlike Hillary and most Dem women) makes me proud of my sex. Heidi is fine, btw. It’s her husband I can’t bear.

right....the guy who benefited, the guy who sent out voter violation notices in Iowa, the guy who told caucus voters that Carson had quit when he had not...a coordination with Amanda Carpenter apparently...yeah, he had NOTHING to do with the photo of Melania saying “Vote Cruz”.

Still telling the lie....Cruz’s Campaign had nothing to do with that picture!!!

Reporters could ask Ted if it was true ... but then Carly would just step in and say the question was irrelevant, then try to change the subject

Ted Cruz, the oh-so-honest Christian candidate

BS... prove your accusation. I showed my proof... Heidi is the one who wrote her husband's VAT tax policy... Talk about crassness. Ted and Heidi are reenacting old b j and Hillry Clinton... 'sex' trollops and smartest people in North America.

Any one can say anything....if your going claim some one is guilty of something you have to show proof...there is absolutely no proof...and it’s been weeks!!!

[mom.mom]

The Cruz ad asked the question: Is this who you want for first lady?

The Trump retweet answered: As opposed to this?

[jpsb]

Sure just like Romney had nothing to do with his super PACs attacking Newt last cycle. Ted is Romney all over again, the politics of Personal Destruction is Romneys’ invention and Cruz is adopting it.

what attack?

That she sold her body for money?

Here is a funny thing about southern language:

darlene is naked, meains Darlene aintgot no clothes on.

Show your proof that Trump's wife ever used the words " Donald and I are running..." You made the accusation so show proof...

[ontap]

Oh! That’s rich....one of Trumps campaign workers agrees with Trump!!!!!I’m shocked!!!

Dude, you've picked a self-insulting screen name. You can pump out defensive ink like a demented squid but it won't change that fact. The obvious question is, if you erred in your screen name selection, have you erred in your preferred candidate selection too?

Watch me. Study my cool reflective insightful posting style. Don't talk. Don't post. Just watch and learn. If you can exercise the self restraint needed and the ability to listen and study I think you could be ready for the big time in maybe, three or four years. Hoping that's helpful, By

so you as an adult has never done anything wrong, yea OK.

hypocrisy and double standards comes to mind.

[grania]

What I’m saying is the Heidi had a chance to be gracious and it apparently isn’t in her DNA. The picture that stays in my mind is Melania tending for the Cruz daughters at a debate. Heidi trusted Melania with her children in that super-charged environment. Shouldn’t she acknowledge that?

nekkid LOL
