<h1><strong><span style="color:#4f0b0b;">Rafeal Cruz unleashes broadside on a day when Trump held back from using the term &#8216;Lyin&#8217; Ted&#8217; to mock his rival this new episode of family feud </span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color:#4f0b0b;">&#8216;&#8230; Trump had trounced his son in New York&#8217;s primary 60%-14%, Cruz Sr responded, saying his son&#8217;s nemesis &#8216;is more of a Democrat than a Republican.&#8217;<br />

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Rafael Cruz, the outspoken father of presidential candidate Ted Cruz, laced into his son&#8217;s rival by calling him worse Hillary Clinton. On a day when Trump trounced his son in New York&#8217;s primary, Cruz said his son&#8217;s nemesis &#8216;is more of a Democrat than a Republican.&#8217;<br />
Taking a page from his son, Rafael Cruz blasted Trump for making campaign contributions to liberal firebrand Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York and scandal-tarred ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Even as it is becoming nearly impossible for Cruz to secure the nomination by winning a majority of delegates in the remaining state elections, Cruz is optimistic about ultimately prying the nomination away from Trump.<br />
&#8216;We feel very good about Indiana and we feel very god about California and I think that this run is going to go to the convention,&#8217; he said, mentioning two upcoming states with big caches of delegates.<br />
&#8216;And if Donald Trump does not get 1,237 &#8212; and I don&#8217;t believe he will &#8212; he will lose at the convention. I believe that my son will get the nomination, if not by the second ballot, maybe by the third ballot.&#8217;<br />
To win the nomination outright, a candidate must win the support of 1,237 delegates – although many delegates are free to vote as they choose after the initial balloting.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;Donald Trump cannot beat Hillary Clinton. That would be the dream ticket for Hillary Clinton because all the polls show that Donald Trump would lose and would lose by a landslide,&#8217; Cruz said.<br />
The Dallas pastor is a regular surrogate for his son&#8217;s campaign.<br />
A Fox News poll last week had Clinton beating Cruz by 1 percentage point, while beating Trump by 7 points. But it was Ohio Gov. John Kasich led Clinton 49 to 40 percent.<br />
&#8216;I am convinced that he will get the nomination,&#8217; Cruz said.<br />
Cruz got his hat handed to him in Tuesday&#8217;s primary, coming in third place and failing to take home a single delegate in the state.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">In a low-point of the bare-knuckles campaign, the camps traded angry rhetoric about the candidates&#8217; spouses, after a pro-Cruz super PAC made an ad featuring a racy photo of Melania Trump.<br />
Trump subsequently retweeted an image with an unflattering photo of Heidi Cruz and blamed Cruz personally for the attack, which Cruz denied knowing anything about.</p>
