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).
This SuperPac has collected a enormous $75,000.00 in under 200 dollar contributions. Why will Cruznadians never research things (like for example Opensecrets.org-—they avoid it like the plague, because it reveals who owns Lyin’ Ted.)
Thanks. Good info.
I don’t hear him asking for money, but I stay out of all that. I’ve come close to donating to various candidates and opted not to. I just have no interest getting on their lists. I think once you donate they have your info forever and I get plenty of junk mail already.
I bought one of Trump’s hats from his site. I’ve never received a single letter asking me for money, but I did receive a nice Christmas card. Trump is a mensch!
Where on that online form you cited does it show where Trump will negotiate with the donor about what the donor wants???
I didn't cite a form. Perhaps you meant that post for somebody else.
So I’m confused. I went to this open secrets site and it said this pac took in 75k in donations but they hadn’t updated their info since February. Then I clicked on their independent expenditures and it looks like they are planning to spend over $3 million in ads.

Then I just ran a Google search on their name and it showed articles like this one where us news said they spent over a million on ads in several midatlantic states.

Maybe I’m looking at this all wrong.
Great America is an Independent PAC This is untruthful as usual.
It is not associated with Trump.
Is that a Cruz pack?
4 gals and a putz.
No you didn’t but it was the form I was referring to that someone else sent me with his comment below.

There’s a donate section on his website. Asks for credit card info and all that.
Oh, Hey there 2ndDiv, so glad you posted this...I have never said he does not need a a PAC...In fact, I have thought about sending a PAC that will back TRUMP “serious money” like you have said you send to Ted—all year
GREAT IDEA!
GOOD NEWS!!!
THANKS for posting :)
I have never donated nor directed money to a PAC. All my efforts have been for campaigns.
This is impossible because if Trump has super-Pacs, he’s totally bought and paid for by the Establishment.
I heard it on FReerepublic.
But you are wrong...totally wrong.
It took less than a minute to google...
This PAC is headed by Amy Kremer and Bill Doddridge...Who are TEA PARTY EXPRESS and The Jewelry Exchange...They are tired of the Uniparty...
Unlike PACs supporting Cruz and Kasich, They are NOT a PAC headed by Soros, Wall Street Bankers and Gay Hedge Funds managers and Hoteliers, or GOPE...
So please, just stop with the erroneous implication....
Maybe you do a little bit of googling before spouting off about something...and you can say you heard this on Free Republic!

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.
Americans are frustrated with the direction of our country and will fight to make our country great again.
The Great America PAC is committed to bringing people together and uniting them behind Donald Trump and the movement he represents.
The movement wants proven leadership who will restore respect in the world, fix our economy, secure our border and throw out the elites from BOTH parties who have caused the mess we are in.

Your reply:

OH heavens, I didn’t say you donated “serious money to a Cruz PAC”...For the past year you have often noted that you gave “serious money” to Ted...and that is what I repeated...Forgive me if I was not clear.
Regardless, I am excited to learn about and want to donate serious money to a PAC like this:

As I said, thanks for posting this because I had no idea there actually was a Tea Party Inspired PAC devoted to smaller government and supporting Trump.
Seriously, very excited!
Thanks again.
Haha, that was before he bit her head off. Remember, the police report said he battered her with teeth.
