Hmm...in the Trump-Cruz cage match, Trump is the first to go up with a negative TV attack ad! If the Donald is such a strong leader and winner, then why is putting out a highly edited attack ad 10 days out from the Hawkeye Cauci?

In a word, DESPERATION! Bonus word, INSECURE!

Cruz just seriously misrepresented Trump’s stance on the amnesty bill from 2013. He chose one Tweet where Trump said securing the border should be done before amnesty. Amnesty at the time looked as if it were going to pass. That is what Trump was referencing. He was not saying he was supporting amnesty.

As Ann Coulter proved on her Twitter stream on Jan. 18, Trump had more than a dozen tweets attacking the amnesty bill (and I’ve checked and she’s even missed some of his best anti-amnesty bill tweets). Any precursory look at his total Twitter feed from that time makes it clear that Trump thought the bill was in his words a “monstrosity.” So, Cruz and not Trump started on this selectively using his opponent’s words against him strategy in regard to illegal immigration. Trump is hitting back, as he always does when unfairly attacked.
