Washington (CNN)

A group of Republicans pushing for delegates to be able to vote for and nominate someone other than Donald Trump at the convention this July is going up with a television ad nationally this weekend, the first such foray into TV.

The ad from Delegates Unbound, shared first with CNN, splices together clips of Republican icon President Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. In one such juxtaposition, Reagan says, "Use of force is always and only a last resort," while Trump says "I would bomb the s--- out of them," a statement he made referring to ISIS.

Anyone swayed by a political ad is too dumb to have the right to vote.

*** Anyone swayed by a political ad is too dumb to have the right to vote. ***

The ad, the book, the effort to change the convention rules to vote your Conscience is just beyond reason. These people are anathema to me because they are hell bent on disenfranchising the votes of the majority at any cost.

Some of them identify as Libertarian, some GOP, some committed Christians. I think they’re just a bunch of traitors funded by the big bucks of some cheap labor, no borders Globalist Cabal.

TED CRUZ is totally destroying any political future he may have had...

NEVER WILL I SUPPORT HIM, IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM...

AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL DIE..INSTANTLY AT THE CONVENTION IN CLEVELAND IF THEY TRY THIS...

AND WILL NEVER RECOVER.

These “enlightened” twits apparently don’t realize that by their own logic, we should negotiate with ISIS. Even Hillary does not publicly advocate such nonsense.

(I wonder what the “middle ground” is with ISIS? Instead of burning us in cages, maybe they’ll just cleanly lop off our heads?)

[It does smell like Cruz]

It smells like every GOPe pundit plus MSM. FOX NEWS is nonstop trying to get the ball rolling. Unamerican.

I’m sure Ted Cruz is helping them. Anything to defeat Trump so he can run again in 2020.

Yeah and Reagan also quipped about Russia, “the bombing begins in 5 minutes”

A dishonest ad

I think if they pull this stuff—advertising to release delegates, petitioning before judge to change rules to release delegates, etc. and Trump is denied nomination, I will not vote—not for any Republican down ballot.

IN fact, a couple months ago, there was a postcard campaign sending them weekly to Rience Priebus and Paul Ryan...Not sure if it is still in force, but I think perhaps we should send post cards stating won’t vote for any of them if they pull this stuff and Trump is denied what he RIGHTFULLY WON.

Have these people forgotten that Ronald Reagan did bomb Libya? Have they forgotten the result of that bombing?

I THINK WE NEED TO ‘RE INSTATE THE POST CARD BLITZ’

I still have a stack of cards from the post office, that needs to be used...

PAUL RYAN AND THE REST OF THE PUSSIES NEED TO HEAR US ‘ROAR’. THAT WE MEAN BUSINESS...

If they pull this I will vote, down ticket against every Republican running. I will not allow them to take away my vote with no consequences.

The Courageous Conservatives PAC gets much of its money from Christopher Ekstrom. Ekstrom has given the maximum donation to Cruz https://www.facebook.com/tedcruzpage/posts/10151301772907464
