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

If Trump builds the wall, and deals with $505 BILLION annual trade deficit with China, I am will be OK.
No other career politicians knows how to do either.
Must have been what got trump’s 9 page “manifesto” on Cruz today.
DONEald. Everyone hasn’t lost their minds.
You mean those Iowa ads. Yeah, they were sure a waste of money.
Facts are a beyotch to Cruzers! Great FACTUAL post.
Why do Trumpeteers fail to do basic research?
What if he builds a wall and walks illegal immigrants out it and then right back in. Would that be... amnesty?
I am sorry I did not read it at first. I saw Hitler and stopped. The White Rose was and is a courageous group. I like them.
The Donald 'felt' those Cruz hits....took them in the gut and when down....never got back up til the next day....
The joke is on you. When trump s finished he’ll leave astro-turf contractor trumpbots holding a worthless checks.
Does Trump think one can fund a part of PP and not another? That’s what the government supposedly does now.
He’s for the same scam PP has been running.
Oh, the IA voter shame sham? Where you get to see the voting stats of your NEIGHBOR??? Or, the broadcast calls saying that Carson was out and to vote for untrusTED?
Yeah, those were amnesty PAC paid efforts, too.
What did all that $$ get CRuz? One extra delegate and the LIAR/CHEAT label.
When my kids were in college, many of their friends benefited from PP services for various female health issues. None were for abortion that I know about. Because college students are hard up for money, and PP is the only place they can afford.
When word gets around young people that Trump supports PP for everything except abortions, he is going to get lot of votes.
Really.
Go perform a "citizen's arrest" of all the personnel at your local Planned Parent branch.
Let me know how that turns out.
"I'm sure they do some things properly and good and that are good for women, and I would look at that, and I would look at other aspects also," Trump said. "But we have to take care of women." You forgot to add the last sentence: "The abortion aspect of Planned Parenthood should not be funded."
You were probably busy reading your bible and feeling oh so swell about how spiritually superior you and your fellow cruz servers are... so I thought I'd clear that up for you. Cruz lied and the 9th commandment died...
Trump felt CRuz hits? Seriously....what land of lollipops and skittles do you live in?
CRuz has been his own worst enemy by choosing to saddle up with the likes of lying Jeff Roe, who has a habit of telling nasty lies that candidates are dropping out of the race, and issuing ShamWow voting records and BFF Batshart CRazy Glenn Beck.
CRuz gives himself so many hits that he’s on par with Jebber’s campaign brilliance level.
I do not UNDERSTAND now that we have OBBAMMIES CARE why do we NEED PP?????
Believe me, my kids are recent college graduates, and college kids are not stupid. They all know about PP.
Easy questions.
Most college kids are on their parents insurance whether private or Obamacare.
However the deductibles are very high, even more so with Obamacare. PP provides much cheaper option.
