The ad goes on to say that Trump bulldozed the home of an elderly widow in Atlantic City to build a limousine parking lot at his casino.
"Trump won't change the system. He's what's wrong with it," it says in the end.
Cruz tweeted his ad Friday morning saying "It's time we change the system and break the #WashingtonCartel -- together!"

Let’s face it, Trump got rich by paying off corrupt politicians and fat cats. He is all for using corrupt government power to seize other people’s property to make it his own. As Ted Cruz says, Donald Trump and people like him ARE THE PROBLEM...NOT THE SOLUTION.
This played out nightly on the Philadelphia news at the time and at least this listener felt that she was either being extremely greedy or else was getting terrible legal and financial advice.
That’s how I see it too. I wish Trump would offer me 4 times what my property is worth and a home in Florida. But, of course the story has to be ....Trump bad.
I believe it was the son was the greedy dumb a**. She went live with him and in the end...wound up with nothing.
Looks like the Cruz campaign has fallen to the level of “politics as usual.”
Let’s not must not forget that just a few weeks ago, Trump singularly upset the whole election apple cart!
Trump set the national agenda by opposing illegal immigration and bringing up other issues that the GOPe and their allies desperately wanted to avoid, and now they can’t.
The GOPe was not prepared for this, and as a consequence they don’t have a clue about what to do, hence their almost universal collapse into a pile of quivering jello, flip-flopping like a bag of Mexican jumping beans dumped on a hot griddle.
Trump has exposed those who pretend to be conservative but are really just fronts for big money establishment campaign donors who purchase their candidates with campaign “donations”.
Trump, by actually being a real man, has exposed the other candidates (Cruz excepting of course) and their allies for the weak little sniveling sellouts that they really are.
Trump’s vociferous truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media have been the catalyst that triggered a massive revolt amongst conservative voters who are infuriated at the GOPe Congress doing absolutely ZERO to stop Obama’s agenda, and suddenly the GOP RINO leadership is in full blown panic mode and in full blown retreat, and the SMALL conservative House contingent smelt blood in the water, took heart, and charged in against a weakened, frightened and paralyzed GOPe leadership, and Boehner was taken out as a sacrificial lamb.
Trump is absolutely correct when he says that without Trump in the race, everything would be same-ol’, same-ol. The Joyful Tippy-Toes Turtle would be creeping closer to the finish line, Boehner would still be safely ensconced as Speaker, and there would be no mention of illegal immigration are any of the issues surrounding it by any politician in either party, other than possibly how critical it would be to pass immigration “reform”.
The media are loath to make the connection, but it’s obvious that the Boehner resignation was yet another falling domino, toppling due to the Trump Effect, because Trump’s unabashed truth-telling and fearless neutering of the kommie media triggered a revolt amongst the great unwashed GOP masses which emboldened a few conservative Congress critters to grow a few pairs.
And our nation wouldn’t even be having ANY of these conversations about illegal immigration and the myriad of other Obammunist issues destroying our country if it wasn’t for Trump. Instead, we’d simply be debating which RINO, GOPe squish would be least likely to be stomped by Hillary, and the GOPe would once again be exhorting the “base” about how critical it is for us to once again vote for the “lesser of two evils”, that is, vote for the GOPe side of the Uniparty coin.
And do note that ALL of the oligarchs and plutocrats are frightened to death of Donald Trump because the billionaires and millionaires can’t buy him like all of the other politicians they routinely purchase, because Trump doesn’t need nor want their money, and the kommie media is frightened to death of him because he isn’t afraid of them either, the bottom line being that Donald Trump can not be controlled by the rich and powerful or the corrupt media, so for anyone who is truly for campaign finance reform and wants to take money out of politics, voting for Trump is the only reasonable choice.
President Trump is really the last hope for this country: if he can’t undo any of the damage wrought by the Obammunists, the U.S.A. is done.
So least we forget, the above, and much more, are called “The Trump Effect”.
The lawyer was probably going to take a big percentage from her too.
I think the term that applies here Danny is.. "Cruz is SINKING his own a$$" listening to his handlers.
So what does Cruz want? Sympathy points for being naive?
Now tell my why this guy should go up against the Democrats with the political sense of a person running for a local office? Because they aren’t going to be any nicer.
What isn’t true?
The house was never bought by Trump, or bulldozed by Trump. Oh, but that is just what you are supposed to THINK happened, not what really happened. And see, if you listen to the ad very carefully, and parse every word, we aren’t lying to you.
If this is how Cruz does business, what does he mean by this statement:
“I have never supported legalization, and I do not intend to support legalization.â€
That is not accurate in the least. She defeated Trump in court and continued to live there until she had to move into a retirement community. Here is the story on the outrageous behavior of Trump in this situation. In addition, Trump is an outspoken supporter of the outrageous Kelo v. New London Connecticut Supreme Court decision and eminent domain abuse - a long time, consistent supporter. It's not "lies, lies, lies" - it is absolutely accurate. Stop defending the indefensible and coming up with "facts" as a defense that have no basis in reality "he paid the lady for her home and she bought another one and had money left over" - completely, totally wrong.
There was an article recently with a pic of the lady standing on the porch of the house Trump supposedly kicked her out of. Its total fiction. He could not get her to sell for what he considered to be a fair price so he just dumped the deal and moved on.
She never sold it to him and she continued to live there until he had to move into a retirement home. The defense being offered by the Trump supporters is made up out of thin air - it is not true at all. Here is the story about Trump’s outrageous behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmM4ZBoppNQ&index=4&list=PLJcbhHQDR9da0H3-Qs-7WEEj6tam9vlh3
They are not dishonest ads - it is completely, totally accurate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmM4ZBoppNQ&index=4&list=PLJcbhHQDR9da0H3-Qs-7WEEj6tam9vlh3
15 years later, yes. How is that a defense? This is how it went down at the time:

This is what people OVERLOOK about Cruz.
I've watched him for 3 years in the Senate.
I liked the fact that he stood up for his convictions.. BUT, he had VERY LITTLE backing or support, and few successes.
He CONSTANTLY ended up being compromised and neutered, as well as flam-bayed.
I'm afraid, as president, we'd see the same ineffectiveness by the time the DEMS and the GOPe finished with him.
Trump is right in the sense that when says, "no one likes Cruz." If they did he would have found ways to win fellow politicians over and influence they system with his efforts.
He's more or less on course for being another Jim Kelly.. GOOD quarterback.. but NEVER able to WIN a Superbowl, and more than once. My intuition says, "take your chances with Trump."
WHY?.. because in order to accomplish what he's done in life he has had to find a way to interact with, and construct methods of negotiation, that moved him toward his goals of what he set out to accomplish.
Anyone who has read "The Art of the Deal" would KNOW that Trump is a negotiator of the highest degree.
That's EXACTLY what America needs in order to MOVE FORWARD and away from the Obozo CLOWN CIRCUS currently playing in the White House.

Wow - you just post one false thing after another, don’ t you? Do facts EVER matter to you? Here’s what Trump tried to do to this woman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmM4ZBoppNQ&index=4&list=PLJcbhHQDR9da0H3-Qs-7WEEj6tam9vlh3
“Oh, but that is just what you are supposed to THINK happened, not what really happened.”
I see, so you want to blame Cruz because you leapt to conclusions instead of you know, actually being informed about the candidate that you are supporting?

I think you are having a hard time dealing with the stages of grief that you need to go through to accept that Cruz is not going to be the GOP nominee or the next President.
I personally vigorously disagreed with the SCOTUS decision on eminent domain and I disagree with Trump on that issue. But that issue is about 20th in line on my priority for getting the country back. Trump is pushing my agenda especially on the Border. I’ll never agree 100% with anybody except God. Trump is not responsible for the SCOTUS decision on Eminent Domain. He had nothing to do with it. He tried it on that lady in Atlantic City and apparently it didn’t work out for him. I would happily sell my house to DJ right now for $250,000 so I could move to the mountains.
