Ted Cruz Fires Back at Donald Trump's 'Maniac' Swipe With...a Blast-From-the-Past Music Video

"In honor of my friend ..."

On the heels of Donald Trump's comment during a "Fox News Sunday" interview that fellow Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is "a little bit of a maniac," Cruz took to Twitter Sunday afternoon and delivered his rebuttal.

"In honor of my friend @realDonaldTrump and good-hearted #Maniacs everywhere," Cruz wrote before adding a music video.

He chose, of course, "Maniac" from the iconic '80s flick "Flashdance" — an MTV staple back in the day that may just see a few additional clicks this evening.

During the interview that aired Sunday, Trump said he didn't believe Cruz is qualified for the presidency.

“I don’t think he has the right temperament," Trump said. "I don’t think he’s got the right judgment. You look at the way he’s dealt with the Senate where he goes in there, frankly, you know, like a little bit of a maniac. You’re never going to get things done that way.”
