(CBSDFW.COM) - New political drama Tuesday night even before the first election results came in.
You could call it a Twitter war between Republican frontrunner Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
It centered on their wives.
Trump sent a tweet saying, "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!"
Cruz responded quickly, tweeting, "Pic of your wife not from us. Donald, if you try to attack Heidi, you're more of a coward than I thought." He then wrote "#classless."

The anti-Trump group Make America Awesome had run the ad.
Trump ultimately won Tuesday night's biggest prize in Arizona, while Cruz claimed his party's caucuses in Utah. Click here for more details about the results.
