This post however, has actual reporting on the subject.

According to Robert Costa at the Washington Post, it will air as part of a "coordinated six-figure" ad buy:

The 60-second spot is part of a coordinated six-figure buy by affiliated groups that call themselves Keep the Promise and are backed by Cruz's biggest donors.

It comes hours after tensions between Trump and Cruz escalated when Trump told ABC's "This Week" that Cruz is a "very nasty guy."

Trump is a liar, a miscreant, and everything else!

Except Ted Cruz. Thankfully.

Keep at it, Ted..

Do a guy a favor...

Very effective. I assume there will many more great ads like this.

The Cruzers remind me of the PUMA people from 2008.

It’s revealing that your response to actual video of Trump is a photo-shopped picture.

Cruz is the real deal as is the video and Trump is as phony as the photo-shopped picture.

Cruz is still trying to use Trump to get headlines, never could on his own. Hope Trump ignores him totally, refuses to discuss him.

Let’s see how well Cruz does when he’s not dragging Trump into his campaign on an hourly basis.

Clever ad.

[Berlin_Freeper]

The only credibility Trump has left is credibly insane.

Who owns Teddy?

Is it just me or has the Cruz bashing changed? Maybe I am worn out. There is not much logic. I don’t see facts.

[Norm Lenhart]

It’s just the Alynski coming out of them. You just see the liberals they always were now. They did the same thing trying to convince people they should vote for the Aborted Baby Chef.

Thanks and thanks for answering.

Some of the Trumpsters would rather argue ad hominem instead of rhetoric and actions.

It comes hours after tensions between Trump and Cruz escalated when Trump told ABC's "This Week" that Cruz is a "very nasty guy." "Nobody likes him. Nobody in Congress likes him. Nobody likes him anywhere once they get to know him. He's a very -- he's got an edge that's not good," Trump said.

Juvenile. This is just one more example of Trump not bothering to think before he opens his mouth. The day before yesterday, it was his good friend Ted Cruz. Today Cruz is a very nasty guy. Tomorrow, what? Ted Cruz kills puppies and wants forced baptisms of liberals, atheists, Jews, and Muslims? And no matter what random nastiness Trump blurts out, his supporters don't seem to care.
