As soon as Ted Cruz took the stage at the CNN town hall, things got ugly. The Republican presidential candidate completely trashed Donald Trump for threatening to sue him.
Cruz was asked about his reaction to the cease and desist letter that Trump sent him.
Sen. Cruz said, “I’ll confess. I laughed out loud. This has not been a typical race by any sense, and I don’t think anybody’s surprised that Donald is threatening to sue people. He’s done that most of his adult life…This letter really pressed the bounds of the most frivolous and ridiculous letters I’ve ever seen.”

Cruz went on to describe the letter and trash Trump, “It is quite literally the most ridiculous theory that I’ve ever heard, that telling the voters what Donald Trump’s actual record is, is deceitful and lying.
Later Cruz trashed Trump’s pro-life stance and falsely accused Planned Parenthood of committing multiple felonies. Cruz said that he has four points of evidence against Trump. His own words, Trump’s appearance on the debate stage where he supported Planned Parenthood, Trump’s advocacy of his sister for the Supreme Court, and Trump’s past donations to Democrats.
Ted Cruz has found his line of attack on Donald Trump, and it is that Trump is a secret liberal who can’t be trusted by “real conservatives” to uphold conservative values. In other words, Sen. Cruz is trying to push the Republican contest further to the right.
Ted Cruz is making his move to take out Trump. He has obviously gotten under Trump’s skin, and just when you think that the Cruz and Trump can’t sink any lower, they take the Republican Party even deeper into the mud.
The 2016 Republican primary has turned into a dream come true for liberal and Democrats as Trump and Cruz are leading the GOP to a crushing defeat in 2016.
