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.

So you believe Trump really does support Planned Parenthood.

Are you Dense, or do you just play one on Free Republic? :)

Sure hope Redstate is paying you for all the spam.

Another day, another untrue ad from Cruz.

Pro Abortion to sell body parts sickens me. That is the worst part of Plan Parenthood. Taxpayers should not have to subsidize this monstrosity no matter how you feel about it.

Well, your die Weisse Rose stance is certainly admirable. Ask the cowboy guys out in Nevada & Oregon how challenging Leviathan's gunthugs worked out.

Seems a bit of intentional confusion from either you or Trump or both. Perhaps you can clarify and make sense of the discussion.

>>Cruz is playing to South Carolina conservatives. Trump is campaigning in the general election. Planned Parenthood women services = “good” . Planed Parenthood abortion services = “bad”

— So, in your view, Trump is supporting Planned Parenthood just to win the general. He doesn’t really support PP..

>>No, it sounds like his real view about the matter.

-—So you believe Trump really does support Planned Parenthood.

>> Are you Dense..?

Which is it? Does he support PP or not? Does he think he can support part of PP and PP does “good work”?

Here's some Teddy Bares doing what they do! I think this what good Christian Conservatives call slinging the mud!. It sure looks like they like to play in it!

Vote TRUMP! He's a winner!

"Abortion will never be stopped."

No it won't. But we can stop giving PP tax dollars to fund it and Trump wants to do that.

Trump did no such thing. Another ridiculous Cruz lie. But more importantly, this ad shows how Cruz is totally unelectable. Cruz never prevails on any issue, because Democrats see him from a mile away and portray him as a zealot to even his own Republicans. But Trump is smart...he know millions of American women go to PP for dozens of services, usually cheap or for free. My own sister went to one against my wishes, and got terrific care, for pennies, for an ovarian cyst (she has 5 kids and never had an abortion). Trump knows you can’t just demonize the entire organization. but if you admit PP does some very good things, but “Let’s JUST defund the bad stuff” you will have an instant coalition to do just that. Of course the secret is that PP cannot financially survive without that “bad stuff.” So in the end they collapse. But Cruz won’t get a SINGLE penny cut, and his ham-fisted, preacher act won;t get him within 5% of Hillary in November.

Yes, Trump is quite accomplished in politics: helping democrats get elected to pass Obamacare and doing the crony capitalist thing.

He’s been successful in politics.

Don’t think we want his success to continue though.

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

In the 20s, taxpayer dollars weren't being used to keep abortion clinics open.

DT has nothing on his website about the pre-born genocide he supposedly abhors. No issue = no policy = doesn’t give a hoot except to win the election.

Are you a defender of killing unborn children, too, like Donald Trump has been for much of his life? Do you think Planned Parenthood does good work? YUCK, only Trump could think this way.

Cruz was campaigning in Iowa. He’s determined to have a greater impact by becoming President and naming the next 2-4 justices to the SCOTUS.

Sometimes it’s wise to keep your powder dry and wait for the right battles to win.

Only a rino would call Cruz a joke.
