Trump, Cruz Trade Barbs Over National Enquirer Report

Mar 28, 2016, 17:28

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is paying for ads - which were first shared with BuzzFeed News - on Twitter and Facebook that say "The GOP wants Trump to pick the next Supreme Court nominee?!" The Wall Street Journal article detailed the Cruz campaign's efforts at seating his supporters on crucial convention committees, potentially denying Trump the GOP nomination.

With the nominating primary and caucus season now past its halfway point, a CNN survey average of six recent polls found Trump holding a 12-point lead over Texas Senator Cruz, 43 percent to 31 percent. Ted Cruz took another bizarre turn on Friday, with the candidates verbally clashing over a National Enquirer story. Cruz's wife is a former Goldman Sachs investment manager and White House aide, who served as economic policy adviser to President George W. Bush.

"Likewise, I have nothing to do with the National Enquirer and unlike Lyin' Ted Cruz I do not surround myself with political hacks and henchman and then pretend total innocence".

"Donald did what he always does - he tried to find a way to change the subject", said Cruz.

"I didn't start the fight with Lyin'Ted Cruz over the GQ cover pic of Melania, he did".

Responding originally on Twitter, Cruz said: "Your wife is lovely, and Heidi is the love of my life".

"I don't care. The National Enquirer did a story".

He said: "You know, seeing him go deeper and deeper into the gutter...it's not easy to tick me off. I don't get angry often but you mess with my wife and that'll do it every time".
