Donald Trump has furiously reacted to a conservative super PAC backing Ted Cruz which used an advert slut-shaming his wife Melania. The ad, circulated on social media, shows the former model in a nude 2000 GQ photo shoot with the words: 'Meet Melania Trump, your next First Lady. Or you could vote for Ted Cruz on Tuesday.' But just before results started to trickle in, Mr Trump responded to the ad in characteristic bombastic fashion on Twitter. '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!', he wrote. Cruz for his part, was quick to respond, saying: 'Pic of your wife nor from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought. #classless.' The super PAC Make America Awesome, which describes itself as an independent group focused on 'unconventional and cost-effective tactics' created this ad attacking Donald Trump through his wife Melania (pictured, in a GQ photo shoot in 2000) Furious: Trump hit out at Ted Cruz for the advert, saying he would 'spill the beans' on his wife Heidi Cruz. It was unclear exactly what he meant although she has a history of depression Careful Donald: Cruz quickly responded, saying if he tried to attack Heidi, he would be 'more of a coward than I thought'. He also called it 'classless' Ted Cruz and wife Heidi wave to supporters during a campaign stop earlier this month in Concord, NC Founder of the PAC, Republican Liz Mair, told Buzzfeed the ads are expected to reach 10,000 Mormons a day. The religious group is known to dislike Trump (pictured with Melania) It was unclear what exactly he was refering to regarding Ted's wife Heidi Cruz, although it is well documented she suffered from depression 10 years ago, culminating in an incident in 2005 when cops found her with her heads in her hands beside a Texas expressway. A police report said she was a 'danger to herself'. Cruz, who has a precarious 50.1per cent polling average, needs to win a majority backing in order to take all 40 of Utah's delegates. Republican strategist Liz Mair, who founded the super PAC Make America Awesome, told Buzzfeed the ads have been targeting Mormons, who have been shown in previous election results to dislike the Donald. While Trump is already expected to lose the Utah caucuses with just 11.9per cent of the vote, the PAC is hoping to tip the majority in favor of Ted Cruz, whose backing is on a knife's edge with 50.1per cent polling average. If he fails to win the majority in Utah, the delegates will be split proportionally among the three candidates, diminishing Cruz's chances to top Trump, who is projected to take Arizona. The Make America Awesome campaign also includes an ad highlighting Romney, a devout Mormon, and his public condemnation of Trump. A third ad quotes the Donald on his previous pro-choice stance, although the candidate has now flip-flopped in the abortion debate and declared himself pro-life. Mair told Buzzfeed the online campaign, which is the group's first endorsement of a specific candidate, is expected to reach 10,000 Mormons a day. She also said the Melania ad will be promoted on Instagram specifically targeting LDS women. >Election results in Wyoming and Idaho, where there are significant Mormon populations, show the religious group favoring Cruz and Kasich over Trump. History professor Matt Bowman told ThinkProgress.com that Mormons, who have historically experienced religious persecution, dislike the Republican frontrunner for his Islamophobic comments. He added: 'Mormons place a high premium on being nice, and Trump is not nice.' Make America Awesome is described on its website as 'a SuperPAC dedicated to blocking and reversing Donald Trump’s political ascent. 'We are an independent group, and are not authorized by any presidential candidate or candidate committee. Our focus is on using unconventional and cost-effective tactics, as opposed to stereotypical high-cost, limited-yield methods with the objective of providing maximum donor value.' In reference to an anti-Trump ad they ran in January criticizing his business methods, the super PAC tweeted: '...If Trump’s opponents are serious about defeating him, they need to start running attacks that work with his voters now...' The Make America Awesome campaign also includes an ad highlighting Romney, a devout Mormon, and his public condemnation of Trump A third ad quotes the Donald on his previous pro-choice stance, although the candidate has now flip-flopped in the abortion debate and declared himself pro-life But the photo slut-shaming Melania has raised a number of eyebrows across the political spectrum. In an article on Mic.com, Anna Swartz wrote there were plenty of other reasons to attack the Republican frontrunner, from his 'racist tirades' to his 'extreme anti-immigration rhetoric'. Others defended Melania and pointed out the fact that she is fluent in five languages and studied architecture and design before working as a model and running her own businesses. Conservative news websites have also called the ad 'despicable' while others have pointed out the PAC's strategies could very well backfire. Both Democrats and Republicans are voting in the Utah caucus and Arizona primary tonight. The Democrats will be voting in the Idaho caucus. Commentators across the political s

Well, the media posted the photo for all to see so how lurid can it be? I've seen more skin at the beach. Plus, this was a tastefully done photo from 16 years ago, taken in a professional photo shoot for a men's fashion magazine. Perhaps Melania should stay at home, barefoot and pregnant? A low blow by Cruz, going after his opponent's wife.
But apparently effective as Cruz won all the delegates in Ut. I hope Trump makes good on his threat. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
Cruz says that Trump is responsible for riots in Chicago, but disclaims responsibility for the acts of supporters done in Cruz's name. Snake.
"I'm Ted Cruz and I didn't know about this ad."
It appears to be the work of Ted's bottom bitch, Rick Wilson.
He didn't need this ad to get Utah. I hope it bites him in the ass with the women's vote.
Yes it is. Some will try to say Cruz did not do it, or know about it. I call BS !! Melania will be about a 10,000 % improvement from the wookie !

If Trump can be blamed for the actions of the agitators at his rallies, then Cruz can be blamed for this.
I just brought up the picture of Melania on a photo quality screen. Not bad! Do you suppose the Mormons have anything like that?
A bottom bitch is actually at the top, according to the courts. Glenn Beck would be more like what the federal courts call a "wife-in-law."
5 dollars, 10 dollars, 20 dollars, 100 dollars...
Either way, Beck is his bitch!

I was watching the NBC evening news last night and they showed a pixilated photo of Melania (as though they were covering something) and in the segment the voice- over said Trump was going to "spill the beans" on Ted's wife, but we have no idea what he was referring to. I laughed out loud.
The eyes. The eyes are the same ...
