Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz lashed out at rival candidate Donald Trump on the day of Indiana's primary on Tuesday, calling him a pathological liar, narcissist and bully after the front-runner linked Cruz's father to John F. Kennedy's assassin."I'm going to tell you what I really think of Donald Trump. This man is a pathological liar. He doesn't know the difference between truth and lies," Cruz told reporters in a scathing indictment. "He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth. And...his response is to accuse everybody else of lying."In a television appearance earlier, Trump linked Cruz's father, Rafael Cruz, to Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, citing a report by National Enquirer, a supermarket tabloid known for celebrity gossip and alien sightings."You know, his father was with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to Oswald's being — you know, shot. I mean, the whole thing is ridiculous. What is this, right prior to his being shot, and nobody brings it up," Trump said on "Fox & Friends."Republicans in Indiana might give New York billionaire Trump an almost unstoppable advantage in his turbulent journey toward the party's presidential nomination. The real estate mogul holds a double-digit polling lead in the Midwestern state over Cruz, a U.S. Senator of Texas.Cruz denounced the Enquirer and its chief executive, David Pecker, who has endorsed Trump, for claiming his father, a Cuban immigrant to the United States, was pictured handing out pro-Fidel Castro literature with Oswald in New Orleans in 1963."Yes, my dad killed JFK, he is secretly Elvis and Jimmy Hoffa is buried in his back yard," Cruz said in a sarcastic retort. Cruz also unleashed fury over Trump's earlier comment about his wife, Heidi."Donald has a real problem with women. Donald is terrified by strong women - he lashes out at them," Cruz said. "The man is utterly amoral. Morality does not exist for him," Cruz said.
