Trump launches negative ad against Cruz in Indiana
The Hill ^ | 4/28/2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 04/28/2016 7:53:18 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday launched a new ad in Indiana attacking rival Ted Cruz for supporting "bad trade deals," CNN reported.

"Bad trade deals supported by Ted Cruz have hurt Indiana," the ad says at the beginning.

It calls Cruz out, saying he voted for Obama's "job-killing trade deals." It also says the Texas senator supported expanding visas for foreign workers by 500 percent.

"No surprise Cruz supported amnesty for 11 million illegals and would have welcomed more Syrian refugees," the ad says.

"Only Donald Trump will stand up to China, Japan and Mexico and renegotiate bad trade deals," the ad continues.

"Only Donald Trump will end the illegal immigration and keep us safe."

The spot launched in Indiana markets on Thursday, according to CNN, ahead of the state's primary next week.

Trump has a 6.3 point advantage over rival Ted Cruz in Indiana, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls.

He has 39.3 percent support, followed by Cruz with 33 percent and Kasich with 19.3 percent. Kasich and Cruz on Sunday night announced a joint effort to deny Trump the nomination, which included Kasich pulling out of the state to clear a path for Cruz.

It's always been that way.

“Dishonest Don is the only one ...”
Yeah, Trump has created and given jobs to a lot of people.

Cruz? Mmmm. No. Just a lot of talk.
Yeah, you’re right. Trump is the only one hiring.

But a Cruz lickspittle, calling Trump “dishonest”?
Gee ... you can get bent.

Honestly, Trump is the only candidate on either side to hire anybody with his own money.

“Cruz’s campaign manager hired illegal immigrants for his campaign staff.”

INCREDIBLE, I almost forgot that.

Jimpick, I supported Cruz and felt he would be the best President.

But the facts on the ground, and the people voting are showing something different.

Trump, despite his former ways, has expressed not only strong opinions and statements that have aroused the people, he has done it in a way that shows he is willing to go up against the establishment, the MSM, the DNC, etc.

And now, on his own site he has backed up his positions with good detail, which if implemented will help turn this country around.

After the wins last Tuesday, CNN is now showing Trump with 52 total delegates likely in PA (and it is likely that that number will go higher, probably over 60 before all is said and done and once they vote at the convention):

http://edition.cnn.com/election/primaries/states/pa/Rep

Current delegate count according to them, and I have found them to be fairly accurate is:

Trump: 991
Cruz: 568
Kasich: 154

http://edition.cnn.com/election/

I expect Trump will go well over the top (probably by 60 or more delegates at this point), on June 7th.

If Cruz is interested in the GOP nominee (without any “e”) winning in November, then, IMHO, he needs to concede next week after Trump (in all likelihood) takes Indiana.

I pray to God that is what he will do. He has the power to:

1) Unite the party by so doing.
2) Deliver a huge blow to the GOPe by so doing.
3) Set up for a big GOP November win.

I wrote this letter to Senator Cruz after the NY Primary results.

My Open Letter to Ted Cruz
http://www.jeffhead.com/Cruz-ltr.htm

Again, I say all of this as one who has diligently supported Cruz...but recognizes the truth of the situation and the absolute need to defeat the Dems in November.

Fact is...GOP disunity kept a couple f million of people home in 2012 and Romney lost as a result...and as a result of his not taking the fight to Obama. We simply CANNOT afford that to happen again.

What’s left of the Cruzers are pretty quiet lately...can it be they have finally started to see what a rat Lyin’ Ted really is? (Or have they all gotten zotted?)

They criticized Trump for not having “ground game”, until he cleaned Cruz’s clock and took almost all of the PA uncommitted delegates. They criticized Trump for being cheap and not spending money on ads. Well, now he is! Hope they are happy.

A subcontractor did that

Just how many people has Ted hired? He doesn’t sign the front of any check

It is overdue for this career government employee to go back to his senate day hob

It’s beyond embarassing for Cruz now. Abandon ship he is melting like Ted Stryker in Airplane. He needs some humility and maybe he will learn from this defeat and reboot himself into a better person

Yes it is.

There are ot(not) always two sides to a story

Actually there are as many sides as there are witnesses.

I would concede that there is a difference between debating and reasonless argument.

WGN gets halfway into Indiana and almost all the way up to our cabin in northern WI (it misses it by about 20 miles).

Plus, lots of folks from IN work in Chicago.
