Donald Trump’s provocative first TV ad raises the temperature of GOP race
Washington Post ^

Posted on 01/03/2016 7:09:05 PM PST by springwater13

Donald Trump's ad begins with a shot of President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then comes a U.S. battleship launching a cruise-missile strike. From there it moves swiftly through an explosive montage: The suspects in the recent California terrorist attack. Shadowy figures racing across the U.S.-Mexico border. Islamic State militants.

The narrator, a deep-voiced man, speaks ominously: "That's why he's calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, until we can figure out what's going on. He'll quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. And he'll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for."

The spot closes with the image of Trump thundering at one of his rallies, "We will make America great again!"

The Republican presidential candidate’s long-awaited and hotly anticipated first ad, which was shared exclusively with The Washington Post, is set to launch Monday as part of a series that will air in the final month before the Iowa caucuses. Trump has vowed to spend at least $2 million a week on the ads — an amount that will be amplified by the countless times they are likely to be played on cable news and across social media.

I like the Trumpster. fellow NYCer. beautiful buildings.

but had very big reservations about him digging into his pockets.

this is a guy who get engagement ring for free as part of promotion.

he has proven me wrong, at least for the primaries.

will he put up half a BILLION dollars for the generals. I wouldn’t want to.

I don’t see the harm in taking in 10s of millions in under 100 dollar donations. you’re not beholden to anyone for that little amount.

I wish him the best of luck, and since I am a Cruz firster, I hope he picks Ted as his vp should he get the nod.

the pair are already polling over 50 percent in hypotheticals

Because there WAS NO LINK!, I clicked on the WaPo sight and was met with an ad bandwidth attack few supercomputers could digest.

Thanks for that.

Guess I’ll look for a friendly link that doesn’t want my SSN, home address and back account routing information.

As I said elsewhere really want persons area of expertise matched with job. IMO Cruz expertise is law and constitution. He has proven himself at the SCOTUS and I’m greedy I want him to serve for life not just 4-8 years

We have to launch a Cruz counter attack immediately! They need more money.

Sounds like an add for the general election. Interesting how he’s not focusing on the other R candidates and yet they’re all hitting each other.

I also wouldn’t mind if his billionaire friends like Carl Icahn pitched in for the general. Not directly or super pacs but venues, ground game, signs, that kind of thing.

It’s almost not fair that Hillary’s nearly as rich as Trump with foreign money and he’s so hamstrung (though by choice) in the general.
