The New Ted Cruz “War Room” Web Ad Is One Of The Best Things You’ll Ever See
The Louisiana Hayride ^ | April 20, 2016 | Scott McKay, publisher

No, really. This is one of the best political commercials ever made.

It won’t be on TV unless it gets recut, because it’s two and a half minutes long, but to recut this would be a shame. It packs in many of the reasons why Cruz is a better nominee than Trump, gets across the key point that if Trump is the nominee the media which has been fawning over him will turn on him the same way they turned on John McCain and Hillary’s opposition research feeding into the media coverage will turn the entire general election race into an implosion, and points out that Cruz can make the case for himself as the embodiment of what the American people say they’re looking for in a president.

But even if you don’t buy the substance of the ad, you have to appreciate the showbiz of it. It’s one of the best-produced pieces you’ll see in a campaign spot. This woman they’ve got playing Hillary Clinton is perfect. Looks just like her and does a great impersonation without saying a thing. The actress playing Huma Abedin also looks just like her, and does just enough to scare the crap out of anybody not already scared by the prospect of Huma Abedin being Valerie Jarrett Version 2.0. There’s even a John Podesta lookalike.

You couldn’t knock this down to a :60 spot, I don’t think, but if you could it ought to run over and over and over and over again in every remaining state. Clearly the campaign hopes releasing it will cause the cable news networks to run it in their news packages and give it earned media exposure, plus have it go viral on social media and the blogosphere. For a spot this good that could well work. It’s worth watching as entertainment, not just a political ad.

Consider this love. Consider this our puppy-faced adoration for the Cruz campaign a la Sean Hannity’s nauseating sycophantic treatment of Trump. Consider it whatever you want; we’re fine with it. An ad this good speaks for itself.

Pathetic! Why would Hillary ask about stopping Ted Cruz when Cruz can’t beat Trump!

Heck, he hasn't even been able to decently knock a lightweight like Kasich out of the race...!

Huma looks to have more junk in the trunk here than on the real deal.

Cruz has become a joke. 73% of Republican primary voters reject him as the nominee.

Didn't you read Jim's thread today?

Besides which, there is absolutely NO possible way for Cruz to win 1237 delegates, nor stop Trump now; NONE!

And from what I've seen of and about Cruz, this primary season, he'd be one of THE worst EVER presidents of this nation, IF he was eligible to run for the office, which he is NOT!

She sat there, taking it all in and the strategy had only just begun

The ad is not an ad but a trailer

Pretty weak effort. Many of the things said about Trump could be said for Cruz. I do like the Hillary and Huma characters though. Trump can use them in the future.

If you happen to agree with the title of the article, “Web Ad Is One Of The Best Things You’ll Ever See”, that would go a long way towards explaining why you are as delusional as the advertisement defeaTED Cruz, the illegal Canadian citizen candidate.

Is Cruz trying to help Trump? Some of the things he attack Trump with in this piece actually make Trump look good.

I believe that Cruz's blind ambition, underhandedness, dishonesty, and lack of character has elevated Trump even more.

Trump now appears even more as the Warrior, fighting not only for America but also battling dirty dealing, party corruption, and all that it is wrong with politics.

Cruz, through his tunnel vision and lust for personal power, has managed to do raise esteem for Trump even higher among the voters.

I look forward to that epic moment with far more fiendishly slavering anticipation than is really proper.
