3:35: Cruz slams Trump. He says he is scared of “strong women.” Cruz also claims that Trump doesn’t know how to bring jobs back to America. He says it is not acceptable for a “big, bad New York bully” to attack his wife. Cruz says “real men” don’t try to bully women. [Cruz is speaking about Trump but his comments also apply to nearly all of the GOP “Smart Set” and the career tacticians in the Beltway who cheered the Smart Set’s attacks on Melania Trump.]
Ted Cruz says Donald Trump is a "sniveling coward" and should leave his wife, Heidi, the "hell alone."
