Here are all the terrible things Trump and Cruz said about each other

If @TedCruz doesn’t clean up his act, stop cheating, & doing negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen.

Cruz: "Unlike Donald, I didn't inherit millions of dollars. Instead, my dad came as an immigrant from Cuba with nothing, with $100 in his underwear. ... It is more than a little rich for Mr. Trump to make that accusation. You want to assess who stands with Wall Street? Then look at the actual records of the candidates."

Trump: "The State of Iowa should disqualify Ted Cruz from the most recent election on the basis that he cheated- a total fraud!"
Ted Cruz didn't win Iowa, he stole it. That is why all of the polls were so wrong and why he got far more votes than anticipated. Bad!
