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.

Cruz copied Trump again. Trump thought of running ads first.

Trump thought of everything first. Trump was there at the beginning. Trump is Gilgamesh.

Good night, EV.

If you have trouble falling asleep, just count up Trump’s amazing poll numbers...all across the fruited plains.

Sweet dreams.

Watch this 2 min video of Cruz trying explain the McConnell deal. I don’t think even Beck believed him.

I’m not a fan of Urban Dictionary but they have several good definitions and examples. As a subculture, it is a self conscious, self pitying, excessively emotional and depressed group with whiffs of hipster.

Look it up on Urban Dictionary for more examples.

Sounds more like a nightmare.

A little advice for you: Don’t put too much faith in pollsters. Their accuracy is getting worse, not better.

Re:”I don’t believe Cruz would work/carry water for an unprincipled guy with no core values and lack of basic knowledge of things like the constitution, policy, religion and basic manners. It just is not who Cruz is.
I expect Cruz to win but if not he has way to many options to play Biden to Trump.”

You are on to something sister.
The trumphole mantra of “Cruz for VP” is wearing thin.
That these impetulant morons insist that Ted Cruz subjugate himself to a second tier position which only serves to advance their god’s agenda is just as narcissistic as any of the tripe that spews forth from his mouth.
Pathetic.

He is accepting small private donations already.

When the general election comes, candidates can opt to accept federal funds which (naturally enough) come with strings. Obama opted out. I don’t know any other candidate who did.

That video was very uncomfortable to watch.

I could only make it half way through.
