In recent days, Trump and his supporters have pushed a string of attacks on Cruz and his family, starting with a tweet Tuesday by the billionaire threatening to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife, Heidi. The comparison with Heidi Cruz was accompanied by the caption, “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Cruz reamed Trump for that tweet Thursday and urged Trump to “leave Heidi the hell alone”. “It is not acceptable for a big loud NY bully to attack my wife”.

The kerfuffle capped off a week marked by savage exchanges between the campaigns over a PAC-funded ad featuring a sultry photo of Trump’s wife, Melania. Those women are probably not persuadable, and may even be motivated to go to the polls just to vote against Trump.
In the Monmouth poll, Clinton leads Trump 48 to 38 percent in a hypothetical, head-to-head match-up. “Nobody knows who the real Carlos Curbelo is anymore, but voters will remember that they can’t count on him to take a stand”.
These are damning finds, especially when women outnumber men at the ballot box. She married Trump in 2005.
But it didn’t end there. “Would anyone vote for that?” “He’s thrown conventional playbooks out the window”, said Tracy Sefl, a Democratic consultant who advised the now-defunct group Ready for Hillary.
Do you know how hard it is to make Ted Cruz, a human spittoon, look classy?
Trump, in a statement released by his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, said he had no involvement with the story.
Given the ratio of supermodels to non-supermodels in the female population, this seems a great way to lose more women’s votes.
Trump’s likeliest path to the White House hinges on winning Rust Belt states with high concentrations of white working-class voters, according to strategists and pollsters. He said that had been planted by his rival, Donald Trump, or his “his henchmen”. The ad showed a provocative, decade-old magazine photo of her when she was a model and before she married Trump.
“Donald, you’re a sniveling coward”, Cruz said. Those delegates are now once again free agents, and Louisiana Republicans told the Wall Street Journal they are expected to swing behind Cruz.
Cruz, meanwhile, worked to send a distinctly different signal Friday on a campaign trip ahead of Wisconsin’s April 5 primary. Trump needs about 59 percent of these to win.
Mr Trump denied having anything to do with the story.
“Nobody respects women more than I do”, he said.
It is not surprising that the Republican Party has come out against Trump despite his popularity, as there isn’t a whole lot that ties Trump to traditional conservative values, which usually center around family issues and reducing the size of the federal government. But he’s so far behind in the hunt for delegates that he can’t win the nomination in the primary season.

In Missouri and MA, he got 46 percent of women’s votes, and 45 percent of the female vote in Nevada.
