Cruz on Trump campaign: 'They're acting like union boss thugs'

Washington (CNN) Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday accusedDonald Trump supporters of "acting like union boss thugs" in pursuit of the Republican Party nomination, saying during CNN's town hall that they are intimidating potential Republican National Convention delegates.

"Donald and his team, it's almost like they're subjects in a course in clinical psychology. The conduct they do, literally, they accuse others of doing," Cruz told moderator Anderson Cooper during the event, which took place in New York ahead of Tuesday's primary.

Citing threats Indiana police have reported against delegates, Cruz said, "We shouldn't be intimidating delegates."

"What Donald doesn't like is losing elections," the Texas senator said.
