Trump, Cruz feud over wives as Republican race turns ugly

Trump was set off this week when a group that opposes him released an ad before the Utah presidential contest raising questions about the propriety of Melania Trump becoming first lady.

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!”.

Lyin’ Ted Cruz denied that he had anything to do with the G.Q. model photo post of Melania.

The GQ photo he’s referencing is from a photo shoot his wife did with the British version of the men’s magazine in 2000.

Cruz responded shortly after that, saying “Pic of your wife not from us.” and calls him a “coward” if he attacks Heidi Cruz and #classless.

Ted Cruz talks on March 22, 2016, in Washington, D.C. The Republican presidential candidate began campaigning in NY on March 23. “But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that’ll do it every time”, Texas Senator Cruz told reporters in Wisconsin as the Republican race to the White House entered a nasty phase.

“We have run our campaign with the principles that Ted and I believe in”, she said. So we are not anxious in the least. “We’re focusing on our campaign, and we’re going to continue to do that”. “President Obama, Hillary Clinton, they refuse to acknowledge, they refuse even to say the words radical Islamic terrorism”, Cruz said. There was a police report in Austin in 2005 about how she was sitting by a busy highway and the officer determined she “was a danger to herself”. “Leave Heidi the hell alone”, an angry Cruz said hours after the real estate tycoon launched a series of attacks against his wife. The Utah GOP caucuses, which voted Tuesday, are dominated by conservative Mormons.

Trump has a substantial lead in the delegate chase for the GOP nomination.

Cruz did take home 40 delegates in Utah Tuesday, but Trump still won the night with Arizona’s 58 delegates.
