After Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) tore into Donald Trump on Thursday for attacking his wife, Heidi Cruz, Trump responded with a tweet arguing that Cruz instigated the tiff.

Trump has been going after Ted and Heidi Cruz since a super PAC ran an anti-Trump ad featuring an image of Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, in a GQ photo shoot. Trump escalated the fight on Wednesday by retweeting a meme with an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz.

Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, also responded to Cruz on Thursday, according to ABC News reporter John Santucci.

    FFS. The world would be well and truly screwed.

  2. Heidi and Melania should have, like, a Sangria Summit, followed by a presser at which they tell the boys to grow up. And endorse Hillary.

  3. This junior high behavior disqualifies both Trump and Cruz from ever being POTUS.

  4. That’s what Trump’s entire campaign amounts to. Everything that comes out of his mouth is a slightly different version of the childish taunt… I know you are,but what am I… The type of stuff you would expect from an eleven year old.

  5. I’m glad I’m a Democrat, because both of these assholes have COOTIES!
    I cannot even imagine how hilarious people in Europe and the rest of the world find this, and how frightening they must feel that either of these clowns is considered a serious candidate for leader of the free world. Oh, well. “Dr. Strangelove” made fun of nuclear war, and “The Producers” parodied Hitler and the Nazi Party, so I guess anything is possible in both life and art.
