Anti-Cruz group launches $1.5 million ad blitz in South Carolina

Ted Cruz's critics are wasting no time hitting him in South Carolina.

American Future Fund, a conservative group that spent heavily against Cruz in Iowa, will begin airing a TV commercial in South Carolina that labels Cruz as "weak" on national security -- a damaging label in military-heavy South Carolina. The spot ties Cruz to Bernie Sanders, the liberal insurgent who's gaining momentum in the Democratic primary, and President Barack Obama. "Ted Cruz talks tough on national security. But look at his record. Cruz voted with Bernie Sanders against defense spending," the ad says. "Cruz sided with Obama to weaken our ability to track terrorists."

The commercial also attempts to paint Cruz as soft on undocumented immigrants, an issue where he has painted himself as the GOP field's strongest candidate of border security -- as well as its strongest opponent of "amnesty" for people who entered the country illegally. The issue is a high priority for GOP voters, particularly in conservative South Carolina.

How specifically did the Donald J. Trump Foundation distribute the $6mm he took in? I repeat, specifically. Maybe someone has an answer...I hope. I want a list of the non profits that received the funds.

Hey, it's Happy Hour...go pour yourself some bourbon...you need it.

It's 8AM here in the Philippines. I am sitting down to a Spam, tomato, mushroom, and mozzarella omelet and a mug of fresh-brewed coffee. We are heading about 5 hours north later to retrieve a new female Dobie to go with my boy, Cadbury. Wife told me he needs a girl. Next year, we hope we will have more!!! ;>) Lots of friends want one already!

Tonight, I will have a glass of Scotch whiskey. Bourbon is too sweet for me.

No visuals needed. I believe you about your attire. Cadbury (so named for his chocolate color) will be joined with Hershey!

What a wonderfully patriotic post, bigbob! Spot Oon!!

And, Trump is the ONLY candidate NOT amnesty PAC owned, in addition to all of your listed attributes.

[Lagmeister]

The list was posted on his website and he has been giving out checks at his rallies as he goes along. Try doing a little research and reading. Your implication is that something is not open for all to know... when it clearly is. I guess you were expecting a personal letter on the subject.

[Lagmeister]

That was a hack leftest guy claiming a group that has no members. Geez! Some folks will repeat anything. You know, I always do a little research on something before I post it.

A sitting POTUS probably has many ways to keep things secret, that even big $ can’t break.

Once the halfrican is OUT, that could be a whole different story and we may find out lots of things we suspected were true.

[BreezyDog]

Post the list.

Go fish.

Very important points. I really can’t recall being overwhelmed with believing Ted was all in for our vets. Maybe I missed it.
