Cruz answers Trump insult with a song
He posts on Twitter a link to the 1983 hit "Maniac."

Ted Cruz is a maniac, and he’s also a fan of Flashdance, apparently.
Responding to comments Donald Trump made earlier on Sunday calling the Texas senator “a maniac,” Cruz opted for sharing a link on Twitter to the song “Maniac” from the 1983 movie Flashdance rather than criticize his fellow contender.
In Flashdance, the Michael Sembello song plays over footage of Jennifer Beals’ character dancing, one of a number of such scenes in the unlikely story of a Pittsburgh welder trying to live her dream as an artistic dancer. "Maniac" topped the pop charts for two weeks in 1983 and was the ninth-biggest selling song of the year.
The indirect exchange between the two top-tier candidates came after Trump told “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace that Cruz is “a little bit of a maniac.”
“Look at the way he’s dealt with the Senate, where he goes in there like a – you know, frankly like a little bit of a maniac. You’re never going to get things done that way," Trump said.
