Ted Cruz is launching a blistering attack on his rival Donald Trump, saying that if Indiana lets Trump win Tuesday’s presidential primary, America is “looking, potentially, at the Biff Tannen” presidency, a reference to the 1980’s film “Back to the Future.”
“We are not a proud, boastful, self-centered, mean spirited, hateful, bullying nation,” Cruz told reporters in Evansville, Indiana, before citing the film “Back to the Future II.” The film’s screenwriter said in an interview with The Daily Beast last year that the film’s character Biff Tannen was based on Trump.
“The screenwriter says that he based the character Biff Tannen on Donald Trump — a character of a braggadocios, arrogant buffoon who builds giant casinos with giant pictures of him everywhere he looks,” Cruz said. “We are looking, potentially, at the Biff Tannen presidency.”
Cruz also denounced accusations Trump made Tuesday about his father, Rafael Cruz, that he was acquainted with John F. Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, calling his dad “my hero.”

I believe all the labels Ted Cruz is accusing is wrong … I do think Trump is lacking social smartness but he has a good head on his shoulders and knows what he is saying …in reverse Obama has great social skills which he totally abused by catching his audience bribing them and do what he wants destroying America and no one would speak up because of his beriberi .. trump may not know the trick of bribery but he is clever sees it all in every direction and knows a lot he is not scared and does not need to use bribery ..
#2, and I believe that every word the Cruz said about Trump is true. Btw, Trump’s cousin Hitler also had a good head and was clever.
Sorry, for the typo — it is Trump who is the Donald.
Wow. #2/3. Stunned by your comparison there. I think it’s unfair to the 6 million yidden who died in the holocaust to compare a simple businessman turned politician like Trump to Evil Incarnate in Hitler Ym’s.
