The voting was overshadowed most of the day by bitter sparring between the two top Republicans. Mr. Trump accused Ted Cruz's father of associating with President Kennedy's assassin. Mr. Cruz called Mr. Trump a "pathological liar," and a "narcissist at a level I don't think this country has ever seen." | | 2.
