Wednesday night Trump Tweeted: "@Don_Vito_08: "A picture is worth a thousand words" @realDonaldTrump #LyingTed #NeverCruz @MELANIATRUMP pic.twitter.com/5bvVEwMVF8" — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 24, 2016 Cruz quickly responded with a Tweet of his own: Donald, real men don't attack women. Your wife is lovely, and Heidi is the love of my life. https://t.co/pprXhIMzUT — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) March 24, 2016 Cruz also responded Thursday, as shown on CNN: Cruz told reporters, “It’s not easy to tick me off. I don’t get angry often, but you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that’ll do it every time. Donald you’re a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone.” The senator from Texas went on to say that he will beat Trump for the Republican presidential nomination. He accused Trump of being scared of strong women, scared to debate, scared of Megyn Kelly, and scared to defend his policies. Cruz accused Trump of lashing out against his wife because of Cruz’s strong win in Utah last Tuesday. “Let me be absolutely clear, our spouses and our children are off bounds. It is not acceptable for a big, loud New York bully to attack my wife.” He went on to laud Heidi as the daughter of Christian missionaries and an “unbelievable mom,” his best friend, and the love of his life. Cruz called on Trump to stick to attacking him and not wife Heidi. The Trump camp quickly responded, according to CNBC: “Ted Cruz is desperate right now to stay relevant in this campaign cycle… (Trump) has a long history of working very closely with women and has a great relationship with them.” Leading up to the Utah Republican presidential caucus, the anti-Trump Super PAC Make America Awesome founded by Liz Mair ran Facebook ads with a partially nude modeling photo of Trump’s wife Melania with the words, “Meet Melania Trump, your next First Lady. Or you could vote for Ted Cruz on Tuesday.” Mair said the group was targeting conservative Mormon women. The ad became national news when Trump Tweeted on Tuesday, the day of the Utah and Arizona presidential primary contests, accusing Cruz of sponsoring the ad and threatening to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife Heidi: 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! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 23, 2016 Cruz responded: Pic of your wife not from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought. #classless https://t.co/0QpKSnjgnE — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) March 23, 2016 Mair chimed in on Tuesday, confirming the ad was not from Cruz: .@realDonaldTrump Hi Donald, I know you're really upset about that ad, but it was Make America Awesome's, not Ted Cruz's. — Liz Mair (@LizMair) March 23, 2016 She went on to warn Trump supporters to stop coming after her and her family with a series of Tweets. Trump doubled down on the accusation against Cruz, Tweeting on Wednesday: Lyin' Ted Cruz denied that he had anything to do with the G.Q. model photo post of Melania. That's why we call him Lyin' Ted! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 23, 2016 Heidi Cruz offered her own response on Wednesday to Trump’s “spill the beans” comment saying, “Well, as you probably know by now, most of the things that Donald Trump says have no basis in reality.” She continued, “So we are not worried in the least and [we are] focusing on our campaign, and we are going to continue to do that.” Cruz Communications Director Alice Stewart clarified to CNN that the Make America Awesome PAC is anti-Trump and not pro-Cruz. She further stated that Cruz has denounced the ad with his comments that “spouses are completely off limits and family members are completely off limits when it comes to the presidential race and the discourse and he has made that quite clear.” 
In the continuing wife battle between top two 2016 Republican presidential contenders Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Donald Trump, Cruz is slamming Trump for a late night Tweet aimed at Heidi Cruz.

"Sniveling" - nobody cares about such words. What does "sniveling" even mean? "Coward" Trump? A coward? Not hardly. See, Ted, the thing is that you and the Republican Establishment are so desperate to win, so desperate to defeat Trump, that you and they have resorted to literally anything. You blamed various dirt on others. "Not my campaign" you said. But did you demand that the Super-PACS stop putting out stuff like that? Of course not. You want to profit from it while at the same time denying it. It's a feeble little game, and it's not going to work. YOU are the candidate they are aiding. YOU are held responsible for it. You started a fight with Trump. You hit him on his wife. The Super-PAC guys supporting you decided to put things out there to trash the Trumps in the eyes of the Mormons. And congratulations, you got the creepy cult vote. Trump always hits back. You hit him by hitting his wife. Now Trump is hitting you by hitting your wife. People don't like you. They don't like her because of the Goldman Sachs tie. When you live in glass houses, do not throw stones.
And you discerned that based on what? His service record? In my neck of the woods, a big mouth, backed up by lawyers, is not mistaken for courage. In fact, it is conclusive evidence of the opposite. I suspect Trump has never punched or been punched, let alone been in a fistfight, in his entire spoiled, privileged life.

So youse votin' for Rocky Balboa for President instead?
Perhaps not, but that is the sort of power that matters in the big, wide, real world. Trump does that better than anybody. Look at Cruz and the cranky GOP Establishment. They run pictures of Trump's wife. He's every bit as pissed off as Cruz now is. Those Super-+PACS are favoring Cruz now - #NeverTrump - and Cruz knows that. Did Cruz denounce them? Of course not! He hoped to benefit from it. Trump hit back, harder, and Cruz melted and mewled. Jeb came after Trump with words - Trump melted him. Rubio came after Trump. Bye bye Rubio. Paul came after Trump. Trump's ridicule ended the debate. Trump is a bully. The only person I've seen TRUMP go out and attack, though, is Obama. In each of these other cases, some little petty asshole popped off at Trump, and Trump's reply ended the man's political career. Trump is a bully with power. And because I despise the men he is bullying, and despise their party, I love it. I said all along that one of the key reasons I supported Trump from the beginning is that he fights. He takes absolutely no shit from anyone, and once somebody starts a fight, there is no limit below which Trump will not go to crush it. Trump fights to win every fight, and he makes every fight a war to the death. Good. Republicans are effeminate weenies. That's why they melt under Trump's onslaught. They expect he will keep the rules of decorum where they can play their arch parlor games. Trump throws over the tea table and hits them in the face - with lawyers and words. And he wins. I am tired of losing. I want to win. Trump has won every fight so far, and advanced. So, in your part, fistfights are the key? Hey, that's great, if you're a working class stiff who can only fight with fists. Trump is a billionaire who fights with law and media and money power. And that is how national leaders fight. We're not voting for the tough guy on th block. We're voting for the Caesar of the World Empire. For Caesar to actually get into the arena would be stupid. You send gladiators in to do the fighting for you. George Patton was not wielding a bayonet in the trenches of Italy. He exposed himself to danger, but he did go fight hand-to-hand. Neither did George Washington. You don[t like Trump. Well, I thought the Bushes, all of them, were pukes and hated them. They were the leaders nevertheless. We rarely get what we want in politics. I'm sorry you're so down on Trump, because I know the misery you're going to feel for the next 8 years, when a guy who, to you, is obviously a jerk is running the show. But he's going to be running the show, because he's smarter, better, stronger than all of the other contestants. And I happen to agree with him on all of his major policies, so I'm positively delighted to see him become President. Now the only question is "Who will be Veep?" I hope he picks somebody who can succeed him.
