Donald Trump unleashed a personal attack on "This Week" this morning against Ted Cruz and Keep the Promise super PACs are releasing a counterattack. Trump may think the ad is all about him - after all, it's his words throughout the spot - but really, voters need to know how amazing Donald Trump thinks Ted Cruz really is.
"Primary contests can turn ugly, especially when frontrunners realize their lead is shrinking and that voters might prefer a solid record to snarky rhetoric. Mr Trump launched a personal, uninitiated attack against Senator Ted Cruz by suggesting 'no one likes him.' But guess who likes Cruz? Donald Trump. He calls him 'brave' and 'a special guy' in our new ad. Voters agree. They know who has been there and who they can trust: Ted Cruz," said Kellyanne Conway, president of Keep the Promise I.
"It is becoming increasingly obvious that Donald Trump's main concern is and always has been about protecting Donald Trump. By contrast, Ted Cruz' main concern has always been protecting the Constitution. Before Ted Cruz began beating him in polls, Donald Trump said it himself, "what [Ted Cruz] is doing is right...it's common sense, it's good government." In this election, we need a candidate we can trust to consistently support the Constitution no matter what the polls say. That's why we support Ted Cruz," said Jon Francis, president of Keep the Promise III.
"Say anything, do anything politicians are what upsets Republican voters the most," said David Barton, chair of the affiliated Keep The Promise PAC. "Donald Trump's about-face, negative attacks on Ted Cruz are proof he has neither the temperament nor judgement to lead our country. It proves Trump is the ultimate political opportunist."
VIDEO at link.
People’s actions reveal themselves.
That’s cool.
Trump can release one with similar Praise from Cruz.
As if no one knows they were allies for months.
Just emphasizing point that Cruz used Trump, pretended to respect him and work with him then did that donor thing, now 100% nasty.
Little Trumpie drew first blood.
No he didn’t. Cruz’s closed door donor meeting was first blood.
Nope, Teddy drew first blood with his backroom donor deal where he said his strategy was just to hug ‘em til the end. Also said that Trump is, “ facing a “challenging question†about whether he has the “judgment†to be president.”
Up until then, not a peep out of Trump.
Trumpsters don’t care their guy has no core values. Anything to win. Alienate Conservatives they’ll do it to win.
Darn, just realized its how jeb! planned to win also.

No Trump had set up for the phony birther attack months ago.
