Notice how Cruz “lashes out” at Trump and Rubio by attacking their policy positions, while Trump attacks Cruz because his speech was “far too long, rambling, [and] overly flamboyant”?
It’s substance vs. bluster, folks.
Policy positions? Like the Cruz campaign poll tested “Trump is a NY Liberal” smear? Is that the policy positions you refer to? Sorry, Cruz is dishing out as much as he’s receiving.

Trump is a NY liberal, that is no smear, it is obvious fact.

The "New York Values" 'smear' (as you call it) was based on Trump's own words, and his own prior positions.
