Cruz is the only Republican presidential candidate who has declined to publicly criticize Trump, who leads the field for the GOP nomination. But on Saturday, Trump said that won’t last.

“We have had a very good relationship, but I’m sure it’ll end,” Trump said on Fox News. “Because, you know, he’s got to come after me at some point. I’m leading by a lot, as you know, so at some point he’s going to come after me.”
Trump also said that he thinks he has the advantage on “temperament,” compared to Cruz.
For now, however, he said that the two candidates like each other and that they have “had some fun” throughout the campaign.
It was reported this week that at a private fundraiser, Cruz questioned Trump’s “judgement.” Though he went on Twitter after to call Trump “terrific,” Trump gave a subtle counter-punch at a campaign rally in Iowa on Friday.
“Not a lot of evangelicals come out of Cuba, in all fairness,” Trump told the audience, taking aim at Cruz’s support in the state from evangelical voters. “It’s true, but I like him nevertheless.”
