"I’m going to do something I haven’t done the entire campaign. I’m going to tell you what I really think of Donald Trump. This man is a pathological liar. He doesn't know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. And in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology text book, his response is to accuse everybody else of lying."
He went on to accuse Mr. Trump of bragging about infidelity, lacking in morals, harboring negative sentiments towards women in public life and being a bigger narcissist that President Barack Obama.
"Donald Trump is such a narcissist that Barack Obama looks at him and says, 'Dude, what's your problem?'" Cruz said. "The man is utterlly amoral," he added.
"Donald is cynically exploiting that anger and Donald is lying to his supporters," he continued. He went on to insist Trump would betray his supporters by not doing what he promises, including on building a wall on the Mexican border.
Cruz also slammed Trump for going after his wife, and saying she wasn't good-looking enough for him. "Donald has a real problem with women," said Cruz, accusing the frontrunner of being "terrified" of strong women.
He dug into Trump’s past as a Manhattan playboy, savaging Trump for bragging about his infidelities. "Donald Trump is a serial philanderer and he boasts about it,” Cruz said. "This is not a secret, he’s proud of being a serial philander. I want everyone to think about your teenage kids. The president of the United States talks about how great it is to commit adultery. How proud he is, describes his battle with venereal disease as his own personal Vietnam. That’s a quote from the Howard Stern show. Do you want to spend the next five years with your kids bragging about infidelity?"
Cruz's surprising blow up came the same day that Trump made a likewise strange media statement when he went on Fox News and suggested that Mr. Cruz's father Rafael Cruz was involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Mr. Trump offered little evidence for his assertions. The National Enquirer supermarket tabloid published a story last month alleging a photograph showed Mr. Cruz's father in a photograph with assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
"His father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous," Mr. Trump told Fox. "What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody even brings it up. They don't even talk about that. That was reported, and nobody talks about it."
It did not end there. Cruz continued: "Let's be clear: this is nuts. This is not a reasonable position. This is just kooky. And while I'm at it, I guess I should go ahead and admit that my dad killed JFK, he is secretly Elvis and Jimmy Hoffa is buried in his backyard."
