“Donald, you’re a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone”, Cruz told reporters after a factory tour in Dane, Wisconsin, pointing his finger at the cameras for emphasis.

Adding a new twist to an already unpredictable campaign, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz on Friday accused rival Donald Trump of planting a “smear” story about his alleged infidelity in the National Enquirer.
Trump wrongly attributed the ad to the Cruz campaign and warned on Twitter: “Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!”
Trump’s initial tweet also included an unspecified threat to Cruz in which Trump threatened to “spill the beans on your wife!”
It all started late Tuesday night when Republican front runner Donald Trump responded to an ad put out by an anti-Trump super PAC known as “Make America Awesome”.
Late Wednesday night, Trump tweeted out someone else’s photo that depicted Heidi Cruz with an unflattering scowl.
“Shocking claims: Pervy Ted Cruz caught cheating – with 5 secret mistress!”
“You know, Donald is fond of giving people nicknames, with this pattern he should not be surprised to see people calling him “Sleazy Donald” because that is his first and last redoubt, to turn to sleaze”, said Cruz.
The suggestive ad featuring Trump’s wife was apparently part of an effort to sway voters in predominantly Mormon Utah by appealing to the morality of the state’s socially conservative population, according to The New York Times.
Again, Cruz issued a quick response telling Trump that real men do not attack women. Hillary Rodham Clinton debuted with a call for community involvement in raising the young with “It Takes A Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us”.
“Lyin’ Ted Cruz denied that he had anything to do with the G.Q. model photo post of Melania”. “It is not acceptable for a big loud NY bully to attack my wife”.
Donald Trump has a substantial lead in the delegate chase for the Republican nomination. Cruz is accusing Trump and “his henchmen” of spreading false rumors that Cruz has cheated on his wife, Heidi.

“And I would note that Mr. Stone is a man who has 50 years of dirty tricks behind him”.
