During a Sunday interview with Fox’s Chris Wallace, Republican front-runner Donald Trump compared [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore] and John Kasich to the last bits of Easter ham sitting in your basement icebox.

“Through all of these controversies, do you have any plans to change your campaign?” Wallace asked the real estate mogul. “Any plans to lay off the personal attacks? Any plans to study some of these issues more?”

“Originally when I came out, there were seventeen people,” Trump responded. “We’re down now to three.”

“I have two leftovers, OK,” he continued. “I call them leftovers. They haven’t been nice to me.”

“I will beat them. After I beat them, I’m going to be so presidential you’ll be bored. You’re going to be saying this is the most boring person I’ve ever interviewed.”
