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.

Some, and you know who I am referring to, will continue to post anti-Trump garbage here...even when he is elected president; sadly.

You know, I agree with you, but I don’t care anymore. Just do it and get it done. That will be a game changer and will get the attention of every oil producing nation. The result is no more vacuum.

You’re not the first one on this thread to mock Cruz for the raw campaign footage CNN promoted. But I’m confused about the outrage. Is it the retakes of prayer, hugging, breakfast, the request for campaign donations?

Cruz could join the Supremes, .
The only Supremes he's suited for is the one with Diana Ross.

Trump could close his eyes and point to any one of his executives that would be far superior to Ted Cruz as a Justice or VP.

So what does he do?
Get a big tent and go on the road. He's more like Elmer Gantry than Ronald Reagan.

Sorry, I like Senator Cruz - but that imagery is irritating to the point of making me nauseous.

HEY, I just discovered that Senator Ted Cruz was originally a country western singer! And this clever song explains this ad perfectly!

We are not supposed to be a nation of plunderers.

I think the American Indians would disagree. Nations are founded by the most efficient plunderers.

Wonder how the family felt after this, esp his girls and mom.

Bet they felt probed by aliens.
