Pro-Trump super-PAC slams Cruz ahead of Wisconsin primary (What? He has SuperPACs? No!)
The Hill's Ballot Box Blog ^ | March 31, 2016 | Mark Hensch

A super-PAC backing Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday released a new television ad bashing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) less than one week before Wisconsin’s GOP presidential primary.

Great America PAC’s ad, first reported by CNN, accuses Cruz of expanding amnesty for illegal immigrants and softness toward dangerous Syrian refugees.

“I want to protect my family,” a woman said in the spot, appearing in a kitchen with two children. “Paris, San Bernardino and now Brussels?” she asked, citing recent terrorist attacks. "I want a president that will keep us safe. We need to control our borders and stop letting in dangerous people. Trump will do that.

“And Ted Cruz? He wanted to let in more Syrian refugees and give more amnesty to illegal immigrants. That won’t protect my family. Donald Trump will.”

CNN on Thursday reported that the commercial will run both nationwide and across Wisconsin before its critical voting contest next week.

“We have seen such a huge groundswell of Americans that want to help grow the movement around the Trump campaign that we felt compelled to lay the groundwork for the outside effort Republicans will need to win the White House and lengthen Mr. Trump’s coattails to protect our majorities in Congress,” said Jesse Benton, a spokesman for the group.

Cruz leads Trump by 3 percentage points before Wisconsin’s voting contest next Tuesday, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of polls.

Trump remains the GOP front-runner nationwide, owning a nearly 11-point lead over Cruz and Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio).

I've been told here numerous times that he doesn't need and doesn't have PACs.

This is impossible because if Trump has super-Pacs, he’s totally bought and paid for by the Establishment.

I heard it on FReerepublic.

There are a lot of pro-trump people and it is not surprising that they would create a PAC.

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

Others have tried to set up Super PACs and he made them disband. Good heavens, the lies that get spewed on this forum. I have to pinch myself sometimes to make sure I’m not on DU or HuffPo.

Anyone can form a Super PAC, Cruz has several of them supporting him. It’s not surprising that someone has formed a pro-Trump Super PAC.

Candidates can’t “have” PACs. Trump “has” none. Neither do Cruz or Kasich, for that matter.

Proof is not a problem for Trump supporters criticizing Cruz so why the hypocrisy?

The Great America PAC is independent Political Action Committee formed by activist Amy Kremer and businessman Bill Doddridge to help grow the burgeoning Movement behind Donald Trump and merge the grassroots with the business community.

That’s not what the majority here says. They claim that a “Cruz” PAC slimed Mrs. Trump with a “nude photo” and therefore Mr. Trump was “justified” in siccing the National Enquirer and Twitter on the Cruz couple.

Since he does have a PAC, he must be involved in the advertisement.
It's illegal for a candidate to coordinate with a PAC, you say? Pshaw, you believe that will stop him? They do it all the time.
At least I read something basically saying that on FR.

Trump’s Campaign Manager, Corey Lewandowski told The Hill– “These guys are scam artists doing it for their own personal benefit and seeking to profiteer off Trump’s name. People should not give to this or any other super-PAC claiming to support Donald Trump for president.”

Tjos os a scam, and this entire post should be removed.

Please educate yourself. ‘Candidates’ cannot “have superpacs”. I’m TRUMP supporter and I could start a superpac!
