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.”

So when a pro Trump PAC does the same thing Trump is wrong?
It wasn't Ted's call, no matter how vociferously you insist otherwise.
Trump is such a jackass.
As is often the case, Trump is wrong. He.. once again.. didn't check his facts.
Sorry the ONLY one’s believeing that are the worshippers at the altar of Pope Trump.
You guys swallow anything tis guy feeds you without question and without thought.
It’s sad. I thought that kind of blind idolatry had disappeared when Ron Paul retired.
So if I say I like E. Pluribus Unum. That means that something is wrong with you?
So Cruz uses the attack point that if you don’t disavow something you disagree with, you are tacitly endorsing it (KKK, David Duke non-endorsement, endorsement of Trump), but the same rules don’t apply to him? If he is a “man of character”, he should have disavowed the super-PAC ad attacking Trump’s wife.
“No he didn’t (start it).”
No, but he almost certainly signed-off on it. Liz Mair is NOT a novice, she knows FULL-WELL that you don’t launch into an attack of that magnitude without APPROVAL.
In other words, Trump is NOT going to put up with cute little stunts like that.
Try again.
In that tweeted reply to Trump's threat, yes he did.
No, but he almost certainly signed-off on it. Liz Mair is NOT a novice, she knows FULL-WELL that you don’t launch into an attack of that magnitude without APPROVAL.

The Branch Trumpidians never admit they are wrong. They are perfect...just like DJT. /sarc

There was MASSIVE voting fraud in Utah, voters were handed hand fulls of ballots and told to vote as many times as they wanted.
Then just before the polls closed boxes of ballots were brought in.
The GOPe is now no different than the DNC.

Not to mention the fact that Utah was the last of the caucus states. Cruz is toast because he’ll have to face actual voters in every remaining state, not the GOPe lackeys who pack caucuses.
Has Cruz disavowed the PAC that attacked Trumps wife?
It’s a bold face lie.
I know you're one of Trump's most devoted worshippers, but stop spreading bullsh*t, OK?
YOU try again.
Using "Cruz logic", failure to disavow an attack or support that you don't agree with is tacit approval of that attack or support.
He hasn't disavowed the super-PAC attack ad on Trump's wife yet.
Yes. He did.
