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.”

The Trump supporters I hang out with here in Ohio would all support Cruz if he were the nominee. I don’t know any who would not.
Oddly, not one of us likes Kasich for the presidency but think he’s fine as a governor.
Such hypocracy. And you're in denial about your hypocracy.
You aren't scoring too well on the mental and emotional stability scale.
To make you feel better, here is another video of the guy you love long time, even though it will make you look creepy to ted's daughter.
Boy, talk about another Jim Jones, Cruz people hang over every lie.
“The system was created by the likes of all the other candidates in the race with the exception of Trump, Fiorina and Carson.
They create a system of influence peddling as the “way of the world” and then criticize a businessman who uses their “master plan” to build a business.”
You do realize that whores wouldn’t be on the streets selling their wares, if Johns weren’t buying from them, right? Those John’s are at least as culpable for the whorish behaviour as the whores are.....
Trump is as much of the problem as the DC beltway whores...

Whatever floats your boat troll.
You sure like that word ‘slutty’. Seems you have a sexual obsession with it.
lol ...
"or, you could support Ted Cruz ..."
lol ...
Words fail me ...
I’m asking the mind numbed robots who blindly worship DJT to use their brain for a change...instead of just blindly bleating out what they read on Trump’s website and twitter feed.
You and your ilk would rather troll Conservative websites spreading the Trump feces over every wall you can find. Like Cruz you won’t engage in importation issues like the debt...healthcare...immigration etc...because like your Dear Leader...you’re scared to get into those kind of topics with someone one on one.
It’s easier to demagogue and smear and act like with your childish nyah nyah taunts. a bunch of 5th graders on the playground.
Grow up.
For what feels like the millionith time there was no Cruz dirty trick. He and his campaign did not...could not by law...have anything to do with the PAC that ran the ad.
still stands.
Quit projecting.
It's that simple.
He doesn't even have to apologize for it.
Apparently, the Canadian yellow streak in him won't allow him to "man up"...
If I never ever HEAR of Ted Cruz again it will be TOO SOOn.
I and several of my friends have pledged we will NOT vote for him under ANY circumstances.
He'll NEVER be elected simply because he CANNOT carry NY, FL, or OHIO.. not to mention the entire tier of Southern States.
By the way.. the threat to "spill the beans" on Cruz's wife was NOT a threat.. but rather a WARNING that Trump will divulge the "behind the scenes" political connections in play be Heidi Cruz, a managing director at Goldman-Sachs.
>> I agree with Trump defending his wife <<
Why defend her? Did she do something wrong?
*********************
Haha, that’s the line you focus on in my post? Jeesh. OK, I suppose that Trump and his wife consider it to be tasteful, so yes you are correct Trump doesn’t really need to “defend her” in that specific regards. However, any real MAN is going to step up to defend his wife in general.
You know, the Luzer couldn't even get 50% of the vote in his home state. Maybe some Texans are smarter than other Texans... LOL! :)
Yes, it does still stand. :)
On this site, Cruznadian stands for anyone supporting Cruz.
The dirty trick included a caption in support of sewer-rat Cruz.
Thus, it was a dirty trick by someone who supported Cruz.
Anyway, to make you feel better about yourself because you must feel lonesome in support of your slimebag idol, here's a picture of one your beloved teammates to get you through your obvious depression:
“All Cruz has to do is denounce the ad.”
He already did that. How many times do you have to be told this?
?? No clue what you're talking about.
