Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore] responded to being called a “pussy” by Donald Trump claiming, “You know, Donald does not handle losing very well.”
Tuesday in Manchester, New Hampshire, Cruz said Trump “didn’t like that he lost in Iowa and his response often is to simply yell and insult and engage in profanity.” (RELATED: Trump: Repeating Cruz Is A ‘P**sy’ Was ‘Like A Retweet’ [VIDEO])
Ted Cruz: “Oh listen, nothing Donald says surprises anyone. You know, Donald does not handle losing very well. He didn’t like that he lost in Iowa and his response often is to simply yell and insult and engage in profanity. You know, my approach is not to respond in kind. From the beginning of the campaign, when he and others have chosen to insult, chosen to go to the gutter chosen to go to the mud, I don’t respond in kind. I’m going to say focused on issues. I’m going to say focused on the substance.
