(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?"
Pretty clear the only liar here is you pal...keep it up!
Of course we now know that moniker came from a liar himself!!!
#161 care to comment on the story at #158. Link?
Who lied, Corey or Donnie?
I don’t think he should apologize, he was just stating fact: Trumps wife IS hotter than the Canadians.
Facts only irritate them!!!
Let the harleys roll
And of course the Presidency should be based on who has the hottest wife......or in Trumps case who can buy the hottest wife!!!
161 posts about a Trump re-tweet. Well 162 now that I mockingly posted. :-)
That is how Ted stepped in it, taking responibility for what he did not do.
he wont do it again
Ironic isn't, family values Ted took a pass on the greatest threat ever to family values, Lawrence v. Texas sodomy case. Always ready with an excuse Ted claims his boss told him not to defend Texas.
Donnie says build a wall deport illegals
Carson says Donnie doesn’t believe what he says in public.
Who’s lieing?
Donnie said Cruz was involved in the Melaina ad.
His Campaign Manager said Cruz wasn’t.
Who’s lieing?
That pic reminds me of the Baltimore thug riot, the black guy who was walking towards the cops daring them and the cops sprayed him right in the face and BANG, wow, stopped him right in his tracks.
Yeah this video...LOL!

Want to see some of The Donald’s family values quotes???
How to say it: "This has been a difficult campaign season, and our family along with others have endured unfortunate campaign tactics. For myself and other families, I would hope these tactics will end."

Yeah Trump is known for his apologies. Heck it only took a few weeks for him to do it this time.
Will his supporters follow his example?
