Not surprisingly, Donald Trump has a nickname for Ted Cruz, and it's not very nice.
During a campaign rally in Kansas on Saturday, Trump shared that he calls Cruz "Lyin' Ted Cruz," although he takes liberty with the letters he uses. "How would you spell that?" he asked the crowd with a grin. "L-Y-E-N, with a big apostrophe?" (He may have said "apostrophe," but as the video below shows, he pantomimed quotation marks.) It's entirely possible that the Republican frontrunner is poking fun at himself and his series of unfortunate misspellings, or this is hard evidence he studied English at Trump University.
