(CBS11) - The war of words between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz is heating up.

They're not arguing over ideas but their wives.

It started with an ad using an old, racy photo of Trump's wife which Cruz said he had nothing to do with.  Trump tweeted:

Cruz is now fighting back after Trump's campaign posted an unflattering photo of Cruz's wife next to Trump's wife.

"It's not easy to tick me off," Cruz told reporters Thursday.  "I don't get angry often, but you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that'll do it every time.  Donald, you're a sniveling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone."

Cruz called Trump a small and petty man who is intimidated by strong women.
