Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump didn’t rein in his attacks on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)’s wife, Heidi, on Sunday, saying that there were things about his rival’s wife that he “didn’t want to talk about.”

“Well, there are things about Heidi that I don’t want to talk about, but I’m not going to talk about them,” Trump said on ABC News’ “This Week.” “I mean, you know, you can look, but I wouldn’t talk about them.”

Trump tweeted about an anti-Trump ad that used a photo of Melania from a GQ photo shoot and threatened to “spill the beans” on Heidi. Cruz responded on Twitter that his camp didn’t have anything to do with the ad. The next day, Trump retweeted a meme with an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz side by side with a more flattering photo of his wife.

Cruz then told Trump to leave Heidi “the hell alone.”

Trump also said in the ABC interview that Cruz — or his campaign — purchased the rights to the photo in the photoshoot and provided it to the super PAC that created the ad.

“And from what I hear, somebody bought the — the rights to it and he was the one or his campaign bought the rights and they gave it to the super PAC,” Trump said.

    I’ve got guys on the payroll to do the bimbo-bashing these days.

    Very presidential. Statesmanlike, even.

  4. Should Bill Clinton stray again, I hope he does Melania.

  5. I’m not going to talk about the thing I’m not talking about because you guys will report that I’m not talking about the thing I’m not talking about and it will be the same as me talking about it.
