POLITICS – Cruz has words for Trump: “Leave Heidi the hell alone”

On a factory tour in Dane, Wisconsin, Ted Cruz attacked Donald Trump for insulting his wife Heidi. “Donald, you’re a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone,” Cruz told reporters after the tour. When Cruz was asked repeatedly if he would still support Trump in November as the Republican nominee, Cruz said “I’m going to beat Donald for the nomination.” Cruz added, “Donald Trump will not be the nominee.” Trump targeted Heidi with a tweet on Tuesday saying, “Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!” The tweet came after a Facebook advertisement targeting Mormons showed Trump’s wife, Melania, posing nude. Cruz’s campaign reportedly is not connected to the ad.
