Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign ads are provocative, thoughtful, visually engaging, and funny.
Unless you're Donald Trump and can count on the news media to breathlessly cover every one of your steps, you probably need television ads to help win a presidential caucus or primary. Ted Cruz has the best ad game of the bunch. Let's look at three recent ads to see their effectiveness.
'Invasion'
Last week, Cruz released a provocative ad about immigration ("Invasion"). It features a bunch of professionals in suits carrying computers and suitcases running across a border. They traverse a river and have difficulty navigating the difficult ground in their heels and nice shoes.
As the drum beats, Ted Cruz is heard saying, "I understand that when mainstream media covers immigration, it doesn't often see it as an economic issue. But I can tell you it is a very personal economic issue. And I will say the politics of it would be very, very different if a bunch of lawyers or bankers were crossing the Rio grande, or if a bunch of people with journalism degrees were coming over and driving down the wages in the press. Then we would see stories about the economic calamity that is befalling our nation."

Concern about immigration policies has turned out to be one of the biggest factors in voter choices. This has happened despite the best efforts of media and political elites to control the conversation (and I say this as someone not particularly animated by the topic, but it's just true). Here Cruz reinforces his bona fides on the matter, hits the media coverage of same, and makes a really good point about the debate....

Looking forward to the super PAC ads that will surely be coming.
Donald Trump just had a rally in the middle of a big snowstorm in NH. The facility was packed to the roof, a record turnout for the facility’s capacity.
This is proof that people are even putting their safety at risk just to go see him.
Nobody else is getting these followers. Not even Bernie.

CDS.
And your point is, eh?
We love our guy, gave him money, and here is the result. Enjoy! Join up! Promote Consistent Conservatism!
The money behind the ad buys are going to want their money back in legislation that benefits the money and hurts America.
yea!
Cronyism is already baked into the Don Trump cake. He’s been doing that since the 70’s.
I’ve read your post and have tremendous respect but...
What is your f’ing point?
Don’s working us over and there is a better candidate?
If so, who?
I love Cruz by the way.
The killer whales at SeaWorld get a larger audience than Trump. They’re not going to become president either.
Lots of people showing up to see the crass superstar of The Apprentice.
