Insults fly in GOP race as Cruz hits ‘amoral’ Trump, front-runner cites tabloid story

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Fox News:

Even by 2016 campaign standards, the war of words that broke out Tuesday between Ted Cruz and Donald Trump was a new level of nasty.

 

In a rapid-fire exchange of insults that escalated as voters went to the polls in Indiana’s presidential primary, Texas Sen. Cruz unleashed on the Republican front-runner, calling him “utterly amoral,” a narcissist and a “pathological liar” – after earlier suggesting Trump also harbors “contempt” for Christians.

 

The fusillade of put-downs was delivered after Trump, speaking on Fox News, invoked a tabloid report claiming his rival’s father, Rafael Cruz, showed up in a 1963 photograph with John F. Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.

 

By Tuesday afternoon, the Republican contest had reached levels of personal animus previously unseen – reflecting what’s at stake in Indiana and the remaining contests. Cruz desperately is seeking a win Tuesday, to assure donors and supporters he still has a path to depriving Trump of the delegates needed to clinch the nomination before the July convention.

 

Trump, for his part, is eyeing a victory Tuesday to effectively sideline both Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich – and potentially lock up the party nod by the final primaries in early June.

 

Speaking to reporters in Evansville, Ind., Cruz claimed that Trump is a “narcissist at a level this country has never seen.” As for the claims about his father, Cruz said: “Let’s be clear this is nuts, it’s not reasonable, it’s just kooky.”
