Watch Ted Cruz rant about Donald Trump's venereal diseases


With a decisive primary looming in Indiana, Ted Cruz didn't mince words when going after Donald Trump on Tuesday, slamming the Republican frontrunner for being a "serial philanderer."
"[He] describes his battles with venereal disease as his own personal Vietnam," Cruz said. "That's a quote, by the way, on The Howard Stern Show."
While Cruz's attack might be too little, too late, it's still hilarious (or depressing?) that we've reached this point in the race. Watch the whole uncomfortable rant, below. Jeva Lange
