Ted Cruz claims he can quote every line from “The Princess Bride“, but that might not be the only movie he has memorized. Because yesterday he attacked Donald Trump with a line from the Michael Douglas movie “The American President“.
It all started when a Super PAC used an old nude photo of Melania Trump from the British edition of “GQ” in an ad for Ted Cruz. Trump blamed Cruz and threatened to “spill the beans” on his wife Heidi, whatever that means.
Lyin’ Ted Cruz just used a picture of Melania from a G.Q. shoot in his ad. Be careful, Lyin’ Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife!

So yesterday, Ted said, “If Donald wants to get in a character fight, he’s better off sticking with me, because Heidi is way out of his league.” That’s almost word-for-word what Michael Douglas says in the movie. He plays the president, and he’s saying it to a political rival who starts a smear campaign against his girlfriend.
