The ad goes on to say that Trump bulldozed the home of an elderly widow in Atlantic City to build a limousine parking lot at his casino.
"Trump won't change the system. He's what's wrong with it," it says in the end.
Cruz tweeted his ad Friday morning saying "It's time we change the system and break the #WashingtonCartel -- together!"

That then gets passed down to the consumer. Of course Trump would say that because it is and always has been about what is in the best interest of Trump and to hell with everyone else.
I say believe the Canadian born half Cuban Cruz.
Abdul Mohammad also planning to run. See my tag line.
Why does Cruz tell so many lies?
Exactly. Trump only tried to use eminent domain twice and both times courts rejected it. In the case of the Elderly widow’s property, Trump had offered her more than twice what it was appraised at, and the widow refused.
And it’s not like Trump can even initiate eminent domain at all. A city council has to do that. All Trump can do is present a development plan to the city.
I followed the story (not via wiki) and it looks like Wiki has it right.
I'm sure I can find "originals" if I went back.
That lady was not rational. Why was she so attached to bricks and wood? She was offered FOUR times market value.
If some developer offers me just 50% over market value, I will run to the phone and call Mayflower Movers. I am not attached to bricks and wood of my house structure. Only thing I care is what is inside the house, not the house structure.
Kind of sounds like what the Democrats use on Republicans every election - seniors in wheelchairs being pushed over the cliff and the ole noose trick commercials. Cruz is really getting desperate. He must be losing BIG!
So many Americans, but so few choices for a conservative POTUS.
Just damn.
I actually find it rather dishonest of Cruz to be attacking in this manner.
Ted was a far second choice because of his lack of economic understanding relative to Trump and his support of Corker and TPP.
But if he continues to show dishonesty, he is quickly becoming unacceptable as a candidate. I think he has surrounded himself with people known for attack style campaigns because being Mr. nice guy wasn’t working. But those people are leading Crus to dishonest ads and if they can do that in a campaign, wait until he is in office.
Well made ad, too.
Coking had moved to California to be with relatives, and her once-coveted home had to be put up for auction because she couldn't find a buyer.
why didn’t TRUMP run as a DEMOCRAT ...???????
HE SAYS HE CAN BEAT HILLARY.... wouldn’t that have been the SHORTEST ROUTE and the quickest real test...
certainly with 50% of the country (up from 47% when Mitt was running) on some form of government check there is a bigger base to start from....
Trump says his art of he deal is all it takes... perhaps in the business world..
But the whole idea of the Constitution and the checks and balances and three branches is that things move slowly...
CONGRESS ABANDONED ITS RESPONSIBILITY AND CEDED MASSIVE POWER TO THE EXEC BRANCH....THE JUDICIAY THINKS IT IS THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES DO AS THEY WISH....
hey i like Trump’s non PC message about the BORDERS, TRADE DEALS. NO-MUSLIMS WITHOUT PROPER VETTING... SUPPORT THE VETS AND THE MILITARY and MAKE AMNERICA GREAT AGAIN....
but the root cause of the problem.... CONGRESS remains the same....
why is it that with either TRUMP or CRUZ the congressional repubs dont like either... BECAUSE THE TWO PARTY CHARADE IS OVER.... THERE IS ONE RANCID PARTY...THE PARTY OF SCREW WE THE PEOPLE AND STEAL AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN.... MOUTHING PLATITUDES AND MOCKING THE PEOPLE.... SO WOULD EITHER BE ABLE TO SUCCEED...
in that respect i think TRUMP WOULD BE MORE ABLE.... WHY- BEAUCSE HE HAS THE LOUDEST VOICE AND WILLL GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS TO THE PEOPLE BYPASSING CONGRESS AND FORCING THEM TO ACT.......
So how is trump going to get CONGRESS to do what he widhes them to do.... and what deal will it take...when they are already entering congress as paupers and LEAVING AS MILLIONAIRES...??????? by communicating directly with the PEOPLE....AS HE HAS DONE THROUGHOUT HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN....LOOK AT THE NUMBERS ATTENDING HIS RALLIES.... forget the polls..... people went out and waited hours in freezing inclement weather, people waited out side arenas across the country for hours.... the entusiasm was genuine and the crowds were huge.... or yuuuuuuge....
PEOPLE ARE FED UP AND HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF ANY AND ALL POLITICIANS
granted Cruz is a principled man... and fit for the job, no doubt... BUT HE IS A POLITICIAN AND THE MESSAGE THE PEOPLE ARE GIVING IS ....NO MAS... NO MORE ... WE ARE FED UP....WE ARE FINISHED WITH POLS AND THE CESSPOOOL IN DC...
any one who doesn’t believe it ....just watch
TRUMP WILL WIN ALL 50 (57) STATES IN A LANDSLIDE VICTORY AND CONGRESS WILL TREMBLE IN THEIR POSH OFFICES....WITH THEIR INTERNS AND CONCUBINE SECRETARIES AND ASSISTANTS... AND THE LOBBYISTS WILL START LOOKING FOR NEW JOBS AND STOP BEING GLORIFIED BAGMEN.....PIMPS AND DRUG COURRIERS FOR CONGRESS AND THEIR STAFF...
Obama will crap his pants and Hillary too... because Trump and a new DOJ will go after them and nail them for all their crimes that holder and lynch were willing to cover up... I THINK TI WILL BE GREAT FUN AND A CATHARSIS FOR PENT UP FRUSTRATION.... EITHER THAT OR THE LID WILL BLOW...
If that is true then, while I will vote for Cruz if nominated, it is a strike against him imo.
A lot of these homeowners could move to a nicer house, paid in full, but just want to be shake down artists. Much like the folks who sue big businesses for riches.
At the same time, same woman, if she did’t have enough money to pay her taxes, even if the house was paid for, the govt. could kick her out in the cold. I sure don’t hear the squawking about that on this thread.
It looks like Trump was out-strategized.
You need to be a good strategist to close deals and be an effective leader.
Poor Ted.
She couldn’t find a buyer because she was asking too much.
Same as what happened when Trump tried to buy it.
It's funny that you think Trump, the biggest developer in Atlantic City at the time, couldn't get his cronies on the CRDA to do whatever he wanted them to do.
Ted, I’m sorry, but this is not going to end well.
I suggest you rid yourself of the baggage around you, ie Glenn Beck, Levin...and move on.
YOu just crapped in your nest.
The ad is petty, and chicken bleep and the kinda thing you’d expect from Glenn Beck.
I predict you’ll be probably 3rd place in Iowa, and as you know you’ve given everyone the notion that you are the favorite to win.
