The verbal scuffle between the two leading Republican presidential candidates over their wives took a turn for the worst on Wednesday, as Ted Cruz unleashed some of his harshest words for Donald Trump yet in the campaign. 

This is the second day of the campaign saga involving the candidates’ wives. Previously, Trump had threatened to “spill the beans” on Cruz’s wife, provoking Cruz to call Trump a “coward” in turn. 

Nationwide, Donald Trump leads Ted Cruz 43 to 30 in the polls, with John Kasich trailing at a distant third of 19, according to Real Clear Politics.
