"Donald Trump is a New York liberal who is pretending to be a conservative to fool Republican primary voters," Cruz told Mark Levin Thursday. "And he is afraid to go on your show for the same reason he is afraid to debate me, it has now been 43 days since the last debate."



Mark Levin, a Cruz supporter, preceded this interview with a ten-minute diatribe about Donald Trump.



"I actually have to give [Trump] some credit here," Cruz said. "He is being candid. He's telling us he is lying to us. Look at what his campaign manager says: This is just an act, this is just a show... When Donald talks about anything, it is all an act and a show."
