Barrage of Attack Ads Threatens to Undermine Donald Trump
New York Times ^ | April 11, 2016 | NICK CORASANITI and MAGGIE HABERMAN

Posted on 04/12/2016 8:30:16 AM PDT by CapitalistCrusader

More than half of the record spending on negative advertising during the 2016 presidential primary has been directed at a single candidate, Donald J. Trump, a barrage that threatens to undermine his candidacy even as he continues to march toward the Republican nomination.

Little do they know these are actually endorsements.

Trump has all the right enemies.

. . . record spending on negative advertising . . . directed at . Donald J. Trump . . . threatens to undermine his candidacy even as he continues to march toward the Republican nomination.

I have trouble seeing the damage "as he continues to march toward the Republican nomination". It looks to me more like Trump voters, a category that will include me, are attracted to Trump in part because he has all the right enemies.

And to all you Cruz syndicalists and the FOX Falagismo who say Cruz “does better against Hillary”: You are full of crap.

In the latest NBC News/SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking poll just released, 38 percent would vote for Clinton and 36 percent would vote for Trump. In the same poll, 37 percent would vote for Clinton and 32 percent would vote for Cruz.

So Trump does better against Hillary, Trump only 2 points behind Hillary, but Cruz 5 points behind Hillary. The more Americans look at Cruz, he drops further. And right now among Republicans, Donald Trump continues to lead the field by 16 points with 46 percent support, Ted Cruz with 30 percent support and Gov. John Kasich trailing behind with 16 percent support, down 2 points from last week.

So by a landslide, 16 points, the base wants Trump, NOT Cruz.

It is disgusting to watch Cruz and his Falangismo lieutenants orchestrating the corrupt GOPe Party Syndicate disenfranchisement of the vote and of the will of the people.

Cruz and his philosophy of rule by delegation and Party Syndicalism is foreign and un-American, he takes after his lunatic father, what Cruz actually is, and clearly demonstrates in his actions, is that he is a Falangist. He will try and hardwire rule by pre-selected delegation across all aspects of rule, power, and in government, he is a danger to Democracy and the Republic.

STOP CRUZ!
FREE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FROM PARTY SYNDICALISM!
LIBERTY FOR ALL!

Haven’t you noticed that no weapon formed against Donald Trump has prospered? Why would that be?

Isaiah 54
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,
And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD.

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 717). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

Every time Donald Trump says, “I love you!” to a crowd, I am reminded when Jesus said:
John 13
34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.
35 “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Nelson, Thomas (2009-02-18). Holy Bible, New King James Version (NKJV) (p. 1047). Thomas Nelson. Kindle Edition.

This amount of attack ads is a testament to Trumps strength when he is overcoming the obstacles. He is amazing.

It is actually having a negative effect. It has made people like me wave good-bye to the republican party. No way I would ever consider myself a republican again after the way these dirtbags have dissed the voters.

Exactly! They are full of crap! Cruz cannot win FL, OH, PA, MI, etc. He cannot win vs Hillary or Bernie.

"This is it, Pinky! I have created the ultimate Attack Ad! This is the one which will take down that accursed Trump!"

"This is the ad, after the previous 2,000 others have failed, Brain?"

Perhaps not with Trump supporters, but my guess it is working in other circles. These Super PAC’s have certainly not helped in the opposition to Democrats.

There is nothing the Cruz camp can say about “playing by established party rules” or the media can fabricate through Democrat lies that will change how I am going to vote this November if I’m still alive. Nothing.

Sorry, I’m late to the conversation on this one but I’m still struggling with how Not letting the people vote in the Colorado primary is a good thing. I don’t understand why anyone would even consider such a thing.
