"Cruz … got pummeled last night. Actually, I'm glad I wasn't there," Trump told his supporters in Nashua, New Hampshire.

He added: "He got pummeled. Wow."

Trump boycotted the Fox News debate on Thursday after repeatedly complaining about Fox host Megyn Kelly, one of the debate moderators.

After a back and forth between Trump and the network, the Republican presidential front-runner suddenly announced he would instead host a fundraiser for veterans at the same time as the debate.

On Friday morning, Trump also returned to his favorite attack line against Cruz: his birth in Canada.

"And they didn't even mention that he was born in Canada, right?" Trump said of the Fox News debate. "When you're born in Canada, you're not supposed to be running for president of the United States. Prime minister of Canada, no problem. No, no, he can run for Canada. Prime minister of Canada, no problem."

He later referred to Cruz as an "anchor baby in Canada," using a derogatory term for a child born to a noncitizen mother in a country that provides birthright citizenship.

Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother, and most legal experts believe he meets the Constitution's requirement that presidents are "natural-born" citizens. But Trump raises doubt about Cruz's eligibility almost daily.

When Trump is attacking Cruz, I find him very entertaining.
