MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews said that Ted Cruz fears Donald Trump in a similar fashion to how people feared Uday and Qusay on Monday.

After playing a clip of Cru saying he wouldn’t attack Trump, the Huffington Post’s Howard Fineman said that Cruz “is hoping that he avoids the gaze” of “the clown Terminator in Donald Trump. Matthews then quipped, “That’s exactly like Uday and Qusay at a restaurant, don’t let them look at you.”
