The clumsy blows followed Cruz announcement.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) dropped out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday. Donald Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee.
But Cruz added injury to insult after his concession speech: He accidentally punched and elbowed his wife, Heidi Cruz, in the face after he finished speaking.
Watch:
Also Fiorina fell off stage the other day this week. Hmmm

It was soooo awkward and mostly his idiot father's fault. Cruz and wife were hugging and loony daddy came over and pulled Teddy aside for their own embrace, but kept Heidi in the loop. After Cruz elbowed her, she just grimaced and pulled away.
