Well it looks like we’ve moved on to the “let’s threaten each other’s wives” phase of the election.
Donald Trump tweeted a threat to "spill the beans" on Ted Cruz' wife. Tweet has been deleted. pic.twitter.com/tkdUwSdkyI

He then reposted it:
Lyin' Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!

But what the toupee’d totalitarian doesn’t know is that it wasn’t Ted Cruz who made that ad, it was Liz Mair, of #NeverTrump fame.
This was from yesterday:
I see I pissed off Trump by running an ad that rightly acknowledges that Mormon women don't want a nude model as First Lady. Tee hee.

Also hilarious that Trumpkins are filling my inbox with claims that I'm a "bully." Compared to their precious, I'm a saint.

Now, I guess I'll be in for another round of paid astroturf Twitter eggs complaining about what an evil, mean lesbian/tranny Jewess I am.

…or kept his name out of contention in states where it was bound to be an issue with significant chunks of the population…

…or at least, maybe he would benefit from not putting her front and center as he so frequently does. Or he could man up and recognize…

…this is such a moderate attack relative to crap he pulls on opponents daily, and the BS that those of us who oppose him put up w daily.

Here’s the ad – it’s very simple, just run on Facebook for Mormon women in Utah:
UPDATE TRS: Ted Cruz responds to The Donald, calling him a coward if he attacks Heidi:
Pic of your wife not from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought. #classless https://t.co/0QpKSnjgnE
