Trump then followed that up with a retweet seemingly digging at Heidi Cruz’s physical appearance. The meme is captioned: “No need to ‘spill the beans.’ The images are worth a thousand words”. “Your wife is lovely, and Heidi is the love of my life”.
And Graham has implied that their colleagues feel the same, saying earlier this year that if “you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you”.
“Donald, you’re a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone”, Cruz said. Your next first lady. This is why I am supporting Ted Cruz.
“Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad”.
Trump said Cruz was behind the ad, which appeared on Tuesday, the day of nominating contests in Utah, where the heavily Mormon electorate favoured Cruz in its caucuses, and Arizona, which gave Trump a victory in its primary vote. “But you mess with my kids, you mess with my wife-that’ll do it every time”, Cruz told reporters on Thursday before touring a metal-fabrication plant in Dane, Wisconsin.

Cruz, on his Facebook page on Friday, accused Trump, who hasn’t held a public event since Monday, of “hiding in Trump Tower” and campaigning by Twitter instead of holding events with voters.

“It’s not surprising that the Democratic political henchmen of Mayor de Blasio are coming after me”, Mr Cruz said on CBS.
