Aconservative super PAC is trying to swing Utah voters against Donald Trump in tonight's caucus by slut-shaming his wife Melania Trump.
The ad, circulated on social media, shows the former model in a nude 2000 GQ photo shoot with the words: 'Meet Melania Trump, your next First Lady. Or you could vote for Ted Cruz on Tuesday.'
Cruz, who has a precarious 50.1per cent polling average, needs to win a majority backing in order to take all 40 of Utah's delegates. Republican strategist Liz Mair, who founded the super PAC Make America Awesome, said that the ads have been targeting Mormons, who have been shown in previous election results to dislike the Donald.
While Trump is already expected to lose the Utah caucuses with just 11.9per cent of the vote, the PAC is hoping to tip the majority in favor of Ted Cruz, whose backing is on a knife's edge with 50.1per cent polling average. If he fails to win the majority in Utah, the delegates will be split proportionally among the three candidates, diminishing Cruz's chances to top Trump, who is projected to take Arizona.
Make America Awesome is described on its website as 'a SuperPAC dedicated to blocking and reversing Donald Trump’s political ascent. 'We are an independent group, and are not authorized by any presidential candidate or candidate committee. Our focus is on using unconventional and cost-effective tactics, as opposed to stereotypical high-cost, limited-yield methods with the objective of providing maximum donor value.' In reference to an anti-Trump ad they ran in January criticizing his business methods, the super PAC tweeted: '...If Trump’s opponents are serious about defeating him, they need to start running attacks that work with his voters now...'

Cruz, Romney and Beck are pretty scummy guys.
Yeah. That might take a few votes away in Utah. It just got him elected just about everywhere else.
What a crappy thing to do.

The Cheap Labor Express operative that Walker had to ditch when she was outed as such.
They are getting desperate to stop us from keeping our country.
It is a shame that Ted Cruz has joined them.
What, not enoughave material on Trump anymore?
Might as well try to slut-shame the Venus DeMilo.
They’re totally missing the dynamic.
Unless the Utah Mormons have taken on a different view that I was living around, they don’t like this sort of thing, to them it’s disgusting and they don’t want anything to do with this...
They could have changed, but I doubt it, I do think however this is something that Beck, Romney and Cruz would do and include Harry Reid into that group also...they are what they call ‘fair haired’ Mormons...
Just disgusting!
Melania is not running for public office and she’s not involved in the campaign in any official capacity.
TDS is making the #NeverTrump movement truly desperate.
With Trump, we can stand firm.
This tactic is a dumb idea that’s doomed to fail but it steers into something else
Look at pics of Trump and his wife together verses Mr and Mrs Bill
Who looks more young and vibrant ?
If I looked that good, you’d have a hard time keeping my clothes ON in public.
First one to post photos from Cruz’s nude 2000 GQ photo shoot should get a permanent ban from Free Republic. /humor
But, I thought sluts were the in thing these days.
Yes, I had always thought better of Mormons until now.
I think a *excellent* caption for that photo ought to be, “Stand Up for America.”
With Trump, we can stand firm.
It was already posted and removed but it’s not that bad. She’s nude but posed where none of the forbidden zones are really exposed.
The Cruzlims are going to regret opening that door.
She’s the reason I would vote for him.
If Cruz did this,then I’m done.
Hypocrisy anyone?
It was a great photo. She is doing her part in Making America Great Again!
