Trump vs. Cruz: Round II

Donald Trump and Ted Cruz used to be the best of friends. Cruz failed to criticize the Donald under almost any circumstances. Then, Trump began to call into question Cruz's citizenship, relying on the flimsy interpretation of Originalist thought on the mattermade by anti Originalist Laurence Tribe. Despite that, Cruz remained civil.

From there, it's been all downhill. Questionable, dishonest tactics implemented by the Cruz campaign spurred Trump to start calling him "Lying Ted." Cruz has defended himself while trying to keep it civil., Now, for both men, it appears the gloves have come off. Trump is now blaming Cruz for an ad put out by Make America Awesome, an Anti Trump PAC that's not affiliated with any one candidate. As the Washington Examiner notes:

Donald Trump on Wednesday kept up his attack against Ted Cruz by claiming the Texas senator is behind a recent ad showing Trump's wife Melania in the nude.

Trump first accused Cruz on Tuesday of circulating a provocative image of Melania from a January 2000 photoshoot with GQ Magazine. In the accusation posted to Trump's Twitter account, the brash businessman also said he would "spill the beans" on Cruz's wife, Heidi.

But the Texas senator said he had "nothing to do" with the ad after the anti-Trump Make America Awesome PAC took credit for it.

On Wednesday, Trump slammed "Lyin' Ted Cruz" over his repeated assurance that he took no part in the development or circulation of the ad.

Will this get worse, or with both candidates realize that defeating Hillary Clinton means raising the bar?
