Ted Cruz has edged out Donald Trump in the second national GOP poll of 2016 released by NBC News/Wall Street Journal last Wednesday. Cruz got 28 percent of the votes while Trump trailed him with 26 percent.

Marco Rubio came in at third with 17 percent, John Kasich with 11 percent, Ben Carson with 10 percent and Jeb Bush came in last with only 4 percent. The 69-year-old billionaire was leading the Texas senator by 13 percent in last month's poll with 33 percent votes against Cruz's 20 percent.

"I have never done well in the Wall Street Journal poll. I think somebody at Wall Street Journal doesn't like me but I never do well with the Wall Street Journal poll. So I don't know. They do these small samples and I don't know exactly what it represents," Trump reacted.

"Sue Me"

Trump has been threatening to file a lawsuit against Cruz due to an advertisement running in South Carolina that features footage of the billionaire back in 1999, telling his stance on abortion. Cruz has dared Trump's camp to sue him for the ad.

"Donald, I would encourage you if you want to file a lawsuit challenging this ad, claiming it is defamation, file the lawsuit. It is a remarkable contention that an ad that plays video of Donald Trump speaking on national television is somehow defamation," Cruz insisted.

Cruz also took a shot on Marco Rubio by denying allegations by the Florida senator about a fake Facebook page involving Representative Trey Gowdy.

First Hispanic President

Ted Cruz has the chance to become the first U.S. President of Hispanic heritage, but he does not want to be known for that fact. He admitted that his very "lousy" in speaking Spanish because his parents only talked to him in English while growing up.

His father Rafael Cruz is a Cuban immigrant who fled the Caribbean nation before Fidel Castro came into power. However, the Texas senator has been accused of being ignorant of his heritage and appeals more to conservatives because of his take on immigration issues.

"In the Democratic Party, you're the Hispanic guy, you're the African-American guy, you're whatever your little bloc is, you're pigeonholed and simply a quota representative," Cruz said.

He added that one of the reasons he became a Republican is because of how they treat people individuals and is proud that he did not use the "Vote for the Hispanic guy" during his senatorial campaign in Texas.
