On Tuesday, Donald J. Trump's campaign started running a negative ad in South Carolina against Senator Ted Cruz that was searing, describing the winner of the Iowa Republican caucuses as a fake and a "Washington insider."
The spot also scolded Mr. Cruz for his campaign's role in spreading claims that Ben Carson had suspended his campaign while the caucuses were taking place; Mr. Carson, in fact, had not ended his candidacy, and Mr. Cruz later apologized to him.
But on Wednesday the spot was abruptly pulled down by the campaign.

Lol.
Rubio probably moved into second or Cruz is too far behind.
They replaced the negative ads with positive ads about Trump. Cruz is not viewed as a threat.
You’ve got to be kidding me. You can’t actually say Trump and standards in the same sentence with a straight face, can you? Less than a week ago he was calling Cruz a Pu**y. Trump standards, lol.
Ad wasn’t effective so he pulls the ad what is the big deal?
Could it be South Carolina
does not have
New York City values?
Rubio was supposed to be a strong candidate in SC. Social issues take a back seat to national security there.
They elected Lindsey Graham.
The article at least aknowleges that Cruz did NOT dictate the Carson FLAPEX/ Melt down
Cruz deserved it. He is a tough guy when Trump is not around but cowers in his presence.
Cruz will slaughter them with their own words.
Cruz should be thanking Trump for not rubbing it in.
You are so off the mark
Let me list the reasons for the thinking that Rubio is ahead of Cruz:
“Less than a week ago he was calling Cruz a Pu**y.”
Trump likes to tell the truth.
Trump never called the Canadian pussy a pussy. It was a voter in the audience. Can Trump help it if the American voter does not have a high opinion of Teddy?
DING DING DING!! We have a winner! Your exactly right.
South Carolina is traditionally the home to dirty campaign tactics...you might want to revise your rhetoric accordingly.
More like a obnoxious blowhard, whose campaign stump is nothing but simple one-liners. yeah....real presidential. /s
LOL OMG! you are a hoot!
How freekin magnanimous!
May I kiss Trumps royal toe?
No, you are. They focus group test the ads before they release it. They would only pull it down after the release for tactical reasons.
Not for president they didn’t.
They elected Linny to bring pork home.
Only if you brush your tooth first.
