Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) did not fare well in Donald Trump’s absence at the Fox News Republican presidential debate on Thursday night, according to prominent Iowa newspaper the Des Moines Register.

During the debate, Cruz attempted to mock Trump by imitating the real estate mogul’s attack style, calling his rivals on the stage “stupid, fat, and ugly.”

The Texas senator also complained that the Fox moderators were asking “mean questions” and not giving him enough opportunity to respond to the other candidates.
