That's the tactical challenge she sees facing Cruz on Super Tuesday as his campaign struggles to address charges it's used unethical tactics on the campaign trail and that its candidate is a "liar." Less than a month after Cruz’s impressive Iowa Republican caucus victory, the Texas senator has lost his momentum, placing a disappointing third in South Carolina and now Nevada, where he got 21 percent of the vote on Tuesday.
