New Ted Cruz Ad Super Glues Planned Parenthood To Donald Trump’s Butt

trump planned parenthood

In Saturday night’s debate, Ted Cruz took Donald Trump’s longstanding… and current… support for Planned Parenthood, hung it around Trump’s neck, set it on fire (metaphorically) and chased Trump through the streets. It was a horrific example of a blustering bully called out on his own record and being made to own it. If you haven’t seen it, you owe it to yourself to check it out:

WATCH HERE:

Now Cruz has followed this up with an attack directly linking Trump to Planned Parenthood and the Center for Medical Progress investigative videos.

WATCH HERE:

TRANSCRIPT

VO:Ted Cruz and I approve this message.

REPORTER: In between sips of wine and bite of salad a Planned Parenthood doctor discusses getting money for tissue from aborted fetuses.

MEGYN KELLY cLIP: Harvesting the organs of aborted fetuses for money…

VO: Planned Parenthood treat the unborn like another form of currency and yet some politicians still defend them.

DONALD TRUMP: Planned Parenthood serves a good function.

SEAN HANNITY CLIP: With the debt we have should we even give them a penny?

DONALD TRUMP: We have to look at the positive.

VO: Donald Trump is just plain wrong

Trump can’t run from this. He’s trying to bluster his way through it with the “women’s health” bullsh** but 86% of Planned Parenthood’s revenue comes directly from elective abortions. Abortions on demand. Abortions with no underlying medical reason other than inconvenience.

As the New York Times notes:

Takeaway

Starting the ad with newscasts on the videos gives the accusations a more authentic, trusting feel and grabs the viewers' attention more than using a narrator. It also builds the case against Planned Parenthood before linking Mr. Trump to it, while subtly pointing to a similarity with Mrs. Clinton, a pariah to many South Carolina Republican voters. But perhaps most effectively, the ad highlights Mr. Trump's position on a hot-button social issue that he has taken as a candidate, and not from his past, to attack him.

LOL...I don’t know which CRuz ad was a bigger waste of $$...this one, or the one with using the kiddos to play meanies.

UntrusTED could surely do better, with all of that amnesty PAC $$ he has to spend.

Trump might as well try to say he supports the mob except for their illegal activity, or he supports the KKK except for their prejudice against blacks, etc. Abortion is at their core.

Cruz is a Joke.

The GOP senate just passed a budget that fully funds planned parenthood, which includes funding for abortions, etc

Cruz was right there but didn’t fillibuster.

“Pro-life, except...” (Trump’s own words from Trump’s own website) is not “staunchly pro-life”. I don’t care how many times you copy/paste from his Facebook page.

Donald Trump Holds Press Conference in Charleston, SC (2-15-16)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTlNDrkdXHw

Trump is amazing - he’s got things so under control it’s stunning. I was surprised to hear Trump bring up the Jamie Gorelick wall between agencies in an after debate presser and in the one linked above. Press was asking about Trump’s assertion that Bush didn’t listen to his CIA about an upcoming attack.

Trump’s detractors here would never dream he would remember that, let alone know about it. They think he’s dumb and shoots from the hip without thinking things through. Instead he’s levels above and so far ahead.

So what? Abortion will never be stopped. Even in the 20s when it was illegal 1-2 million abortions were being performed.

Like apostle Paul said -> The law doesn’t contain the power to live it.

Wait until Trump neckties Rafael Edward Cruz with his immigration/naturalization file, which file Cruz has yet to release.

I don't think you get it.

Cruz is playing to South Carolina conservatives.

Trump is campaigning in the general election.

Planned Parenthood women services = "good"

Planed Parenthood abortion services = "bad"

First he states he is in support of Abortion for Rape, Incest and Life of the Mother.

Then Trump was asked about a abortion by a woman being pregnant, and not from rape or incest, and Trump answered that it depends on how far along the baby is.

"It depends when"

INTERVIEWER: "So say a woman is pregnant, and it is not in any of those exceptions [rape/incest]categories, and she chooses to have an abortion"

TRUMP: "it depends when, it depends when"
