Flashback: Ted Cruz vs. Donald Trump, Biggest Debate Clash

‘I like Donald, he is an amazing entertainer’

On September 23, Sen. Ted Cruz announced his intention to vote for Donald Trump. In this debate back-and-forth from February 13, Cruz and Trump engaged in their most heated battle of the campaign (RealClearPolitics)

Here is an excerpt:

CRUZ: "For most of his life his policies have been very very liberal. For most of his life, he has described himself as very pro- choice and as a supporter of partial birth abortion. Right now today as a candidate, he supports federal tax payer funding for Planned Parenthood. I disagree with him on that. That's a matter of principle and I'll tell you..."
TRUMP: "You probably are worse than Jeb Bush. You are single biggest liar. This guys lied - let me just tell you, this guy lied about Ben Carson when he took votes away from Ben Carson in Iowa and he just continues. Today, we had robo-calls saying. 'Donald Trump is not going to run in South Carolina,' -- where I'm leading by a lot.' I'm not going to vote for Ted Cruz. This is the same thing he did to Ben Carson. This guy will say anything, nasty guy. Now I know why he doesn't have one endorsement from any of his colleagues."
CRUZ: "Don, I need to go on..."
TRUMP: "He's a nasty guy."
