Yet another feud has erupted between the Republican presidential candidates. Ted Cruz openly called Donald Trump a ‘snivelling coward’ after Trump attacked at Heidi Cruz, the Texas senator’s wife.

Donald Trump went all ‘I told you so’ on Cruz in response to Cruz’ anger.

Previously, Trump vaguely threatened to ‘spill the beans’ about Heidi after which, he retweeted a spilt image of Heidi Cruz and Melania Trump. That got Cruz’ blood boiling.

Cruz responded on Twitter.

Ted Cruz, campaigning in Wisconsin currently, was livid and hit back at Trump saying:

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 – leave Heidi the hell alone. 

He also added:

Donald does seem to have an issue with women. Donald doesn’t like strong women. Strong women scare Donald.

Trump was set-off after a group against him released a provocative advertisement raising questions about Melania Trump becoming the first lady. The ad showed a decade-old magazine photo of Melania before she married Trump.

Trump had then blamed Cruz for the ad warning him on Twitter.

Cruz had responded saying it wasn’t his campaign that used the image.
