Ted Cruz had strong words for Donald Trump this afternoon while speaking to reporters in Wisconsin, calling Donald Trump a “sniveling coward” for tweeting an unflattering picture of Cruz’s wife, Heidi, and comparing her to Melania.

TRANSCRIPT

Cruz: Donald does seem to have an issue with women.  Donald doesnt like strong women.  Strong women scare Donald. He ran away from the last debate that was scheduled because he was scared of Megyn Kelly.  You know I have to say, seeing him go deeper and deeper to the gutter– 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.

This is now the second time Trump has gone after another candidate’s wife, so Cruz makes a very valid point about Trump having an issue with women.  Cruz also just showed Jeb Bush how a real man stands up for his wife.
