Ted Cruz attacked Donald Trump’s character for threatening his wife on Tuesday and blamed his opponent's attack on “a very bad night” in Utah.
“If Donald wants to get in a character fight he's better off sticking with me, because Heidi is way out of his league,” Cruz said on CNN’s “New Day,” responding to a late-night tweet from Trump warning, "Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!”
The attack reveals a lot about Trump's character, Cruz said. "That should be beneath Donald," he said. "The reason he's doing that is because he had a very bad night last night. He got clobbered in Utah."
Trump’s tweet — which began with “Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad" — is an apparent reference to an online ad by anti-Trump super PAC Make America Awesome, which used a photo of Trump’s wife Melania posing nude in British GQ in 2000 in an attempt to sway conservative Mormon voters.
Cruz responded via Twitter shortly after: "Pic of your wife not from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought. #classless.”
On CNN, host Chris Cuomo asked the Texas senator if engaging with Trump was a good idea.
"The tweet he was unhappy about was not even a super PAC supporting me. It is an independent group. I don’t know them,” Cruz said. "When Donald gets scared, when he gets angry, when he gets threatened ... So last night Donald threatened my wife, he went directly after my wife."
Cruz also ratcheted up his pressure on John Kasich, who fared poorly in Tuesday's contests, to get out of the race, repeatedly calling the Ohio governor a “spoiler.”

Cruz is being a jerk.
“still stands.”
Works for me skippy. Reaffirming your violation of the TOS and standing by it makes it that much easier for the Viking Kitties to Zot you as the troll you are when the time comes.
“Disavow “ Make America Awesome’ , Ted
They used sleaze to promote your campaign
So disavow them”
Either this is a flat out lie, or it is a continued state of purposeful ignorance. “Make America Awesome” is a PAC with one single purpose, they have targeted Trump. They are NOT supporting ANY candidate. Besides, they are so small as to be insignificant.
It took me about 60 seconds to find facts. You should give it a shot some time.
Riiiight because defending his wife from an unwarranted and unprovoked attack is something a jerk would do.
They voted online...Soros was involved. I’m not saying Trump would have won Utah, probably not, but it would have been much closer.
Cruz: Responsibility in campaigns 'starts at the top'.
So, Cruz is responsible for this vicious assault on Melania Trump.
Where does the buck stop?
Cruz - he is responsible for each tweet of each staffer, every comment made by any organization that doesn’t like DT, and every time some one misquotes him and lies about what he said.
Trump - not even responsible for the things he says, because we know he means well.
That was easy.
Of course, not true. But sometimes it feels like it when I talk to DT fans/supporters.
About a week ago, I posted a comment about something Cruz had said...I didn’t like it at all...I don’t remember exactly what it was, but I had to agree with the DT fans. They don’t make it easy, but this once I thought they were right.
No tingle up my leg.
Amazing what the trolls are left with when they can’t spin and spew their Trump approved talking points and cut and paste propaganda.
Like their Idol..they are terrified of a substantive debate on the issues.
They’d rather fling poop, pick their butt and sniff their finger like so many monkeys at the zoo.
If there were an alternative to Cruz that person’s name would have been in the ad.
Cruz: Responsibility in campaigns ‘starts at the top’.
“he Cruz campaign is responsible for the actions of the pro Cruz PACs.”
Another lie. This is not a PRO Cruz PAC. It is an ANTI Trump PAC. What was I reading a moment ago about understand the meaning of words?
I never considered the Swift Boat vets to be “PRO” GWB, instead they were clearly “ANTI” JFKerry (who served in Vietnam.) This PAC is much the same, but much less known and a bunch of nobodies.
We seem to have the measure of what we loosely call a "man".
More like a jerk POS. :)
"Ted Cruz endorsement fails as Ted Cruz fails to win more than 50% of the vote in Texas"
Ya ya ya ya ya yawn.
Fool or wink somebody else. Lyin’Ted and his wife both are in bed with Liz Super PAC.
Both are sick to core.
still stands, skippy.
Cruz’s attack on Trump’s wife????
What to air freely available Nude’s of Trumps wife that all over the internet?
Sound’s more to me that Trumps wife attacked herself with demonstrating that she has a complete lack of modesty!
When you show me anybody officially tied to Trump or working for him that has called for “blacklists, gulags, hunting down of Cruz supporters” then you will have an argument. The fact is this is an official registered PAC doing in Cruz’s name and he has an obligation if for no other reason then his so-called Christian morals to disavow such unethical behavior done in his name.
Instead he ratified it after the fact if not before hand. Thus he owns it.
Trump’s wife is a slut!!
If she allows Slutty Photos than why deny it!
Why is this an attack to call a woman slutty who allows slutty pictures of herself???
“So, Cruz is responsible for this vicious assault on Melania Trump.”
Once again for the obtuse...ummm...that’s you.
“...the ad was from a new Super PAC, Make America Awesome, run by Liz Mair, a Republican social media strategist, whose other news item this cycle was resigning from Scott Walker’s campaign after an ill-advised tweet. This was not from Ted Cruz’s campaign, and this is not a Super PAC that has been affiliated with Ted Cruz. Its stated purpose is to fight Donald Trump.”

Now I know you’ll ignore the reality of that to continue bleating out your meme...but the facts are the facts whether you’re blind to them or not.
