Ted Cruz runs an ad depicting Team Hillary Clinton discussing Donald Trump
Blasting News ^ | April 21, 2016 | Mark R. Whittington

It’s very rare that a campaign commercial is memorable enough to be talked about as a work of art as it is an attempt at propaganda. In 1964, the “Daisy Ad” which depicted a little girl at ground zero before being obliterated by a nuclear blast only ran once, but it helped Lyndon Johnson drive home the message that Barry Goldwater was too dangerous to be president. The “Bear in the Woods” ad that President Reagan ran against Walter Mondale was subtle but effective in imparting the message that the former vice president would be weak against the Soviets. Now, Ted Cruz has run an anti-Trump ad called “War Room.

Here’s the ad all 3 of them should be running.

“There are 5 people in the entire country running for President of the United States. It’s kind of an important job. 1 of the 5 is under criminal investigation by the FBI. Would you vote for that person?”

Paid for by the GOP

I’d be assuming Trump to be my inevitable opponent, too, if I were her. Cruz is a non-factor.

“The minions run through all of Trump’s shortcomings before revealing that the one candidate they fear is, of course, Ted Cruz.”

This is beyond ridiculous — this is in Cruz’ dream..

The reality is that the only R candidate they are afraid of, is Trump.

“America wants a leader who isn’t a liar.”

Trump has effectively attached that label to Cruz.

Great ad, very effective and certainly made the correlation of the two. Funny as heck as well.

Bill Clinton had a private meeting with Trump just before he threw his ball cap into the ring.

“Trump has effectively attached that label to Cruz.”
___________________________________________________

Only in the minds of Trump supporters is this projection (that’s a word from psychology) working! Obi-Wan Kenobi would be proud of The Donald!

When I listen to Trump, every other comment oozing from his fast-moving mouth is either untrue or contradicts something he’s said in the past! But, Ted is the liar!, right?

The only way Trump has won is by beating down the other candidates with personal attack labels...”Low-energy” Jeb, “Little” Marco, more recently “Lyin” Ted...he just tried out “Corrupt Hillary”...(not his best effort)

Trump’s candidacy is a reality TV show...”Hey Vern, let’s watch the Trump debate show tonight to see how The Donald can slime Carly...yeah Bobbi Jo, I’ll bet you he’ll say she’s as ugly as his old dog...woohoo!” Well...I guess he held back on the dog part!

Trump’s policy positions (build the Wall, deport all the illegals, 45% tariff on China, etc.) are all fantasies (Congress will block him at every turn), but these bravado statements sure make the Trump storm troopers feel good!

Trump: “We’re gonna make America great again! You need to buy one of my hats.”

Storm Trooper: “Oh yeah, Donald Trump will make America great again...gotta get me one of those red hats...”

Trump’s candidacy is an entertaining charade that will become more apparent as time goes on...
