Ted Cruz on Monday faced off against Donald Trump supporters who crashed an event in Indiana, where the GOP hopeful is desperately working to upset the front-runner and keep his White House dreams alive.
Protestors started chanting "Do the math" during Cruz's stop in Marion, Ind., prompting the Texas senator to walk up to to a demonstrator holding a Trump campaign sign. The man, who refused to give his name to reporters but said he had come from Ohio, interrupted Cruz and repeatedly called him "Lyin' Ted," Trump's favorite nickname for his rival.
"With all respect, Donald Trump is deceiving you, playing you for a chump," Cruz said.
"Ask yourself two questions: One, why is it that the mainstream media so desperately wants Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee? And why is it John Boehner supports Donald Trump?" Cruz asked, referring to the former GOP Speaker from Ohio.
The men stood just a few feet from each other, and were enveloped in a throng of reporters and Cruz supporters.
Cruz repeatedly attempted to make his pitch while the man interrupted him.
The protester chided Cruz for calling on John Kasich to get out of the presidential race, telling him to take his own advice. The man told Cruz that Trump is certain to win the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination.
"You'll find out tomorrow," the man said, "Indiana don't want you."
The attacks also got personal at times, with the man jabbing him about rumors of infidelity and panning his Canadian birth. Cruz was also criticized for having ties to Goldman Sachs. Cruz's wife Heidi worked for the investment bank.
"Where's your Goldman Sachs jacket? We know your wife works there," the man said.

LOL
Was the author of this piece the protester?
Ouch!
Ted, folks aren’t buying your snake oil remedies...
Better watch out for the storm a buildin.
You’ll be in the land of Oz before you know it.
(he’s already there, and doesn’t know it)
“Ask yourself two questions: One, why is it that the mainstream media so desperately wants Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee?”
Question #2 is how can someone live this far out of reality and still be considered sane after asking that?!?
Those two are just about the oddest couple in politics......he’s a misfit and she’s got ugly ‘pits.
Do the math!!
LOL.
Since cRuz is such a big Bush fan...I wonder if he prefers W style fuzzy math or Jebito’s fave, CommieCore math. Maybe both.
Could be why he’s such a hanger onner.
Trump Chumps!
I’m glad people are getting in his face about this.
Cruz is such a major league asshole they might have to create an entire new league just for him.
The Trump supporter looks like a Ted Cruz plant==so that Ted can look reasonable talking to him—while the Trump supporter is made out to be some imbecilic ogre. This is just like the 10 year old at the rally yesterday who needed a “spanking”
I'm sure that went over well with Teddy!
Cruz confronts Trump supporter:
“Mom, you’re not making this any easier”
CC
Good question.
I prefer Trumpeteers.
Like they can...
What a lying sack of Cruz.
First-anybody with a single synapse can recognize that the media has been not stop negative on Trump.
Second, Boehner isn't SUPPORTING Trump
He, like almost everybody else HATES CRUZ.
Cruz isn’t fit to be president: he is mathematically challenged. Idiot.
real class around here.
People are just tired of their faces being put in our faces, especially since it’s over. Someone overstays at your house by a few months.. I can’t wait to see how much class you display.
