Like Donkey Kong. Ted Cruz scored a surprising third-place finish in New Hampshire in yesterday's first-in-the-nation primary, and now it looks like he's going for a knockout before South Carolina. Cruz tweeted out the campaign's latest web ad after his victory, one that takes aim at the winner, Donald Trump. The ad depicts children playing with their new "Donald Trump action figure," and says what he does most is "pretend to be a Republican"...
It's a tour de force of counter-Trump arguments. The ad manages to mention Trump's friendship with Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid (and adds in a shot at Anthony Weiner, too). Bailouts and Too Big To Fail get mentioned, but it's Trump's support for eminent domain that gets most of the attention (video):

Its a good ad.
I’ve been on the fence between Cruz and Trump but I will say if I had to vote right now, today, it would be for Cruz.
Cruz would have more success with this line of attack if he replaced Conservative for Republican.
Because claiming someone is a fake Republican is not exactly a negative.
This is the funniest ad because it nails the donald. I am sick of debates but hopeful Cruz will take him out Saturday.
Good old Ted kicking Hornets nest. Hope he doesn’t complain too much when they swarm and he gets stung repeatedly.
Trump is right about eminent domain. There would be no interstate highways, airports or oil pipelines without it.

Cruz pretends to be a leader. Historically, I don’t see anyone following.
Some might say he pretends to have integrity. In fact, some staffers did say so.
I think these back and forth attacks are silly.
Trump or Cruz. Or both.
And it’s true.
Its childish, which might explain its appeal.
“Because claiming someone is a fake Republican is not exactly a negative.”
Well stated. It will be interesting to see where the chips fall....we must remember the voting public, largely, is fed up with establishment-fed politicians. New Hampshire and the national polls prove that.
I was just waiting for the national media to declare Ted the big winner of the night! Finishing THIRD and outperforming the polls and pundits. After all “Rubio”, “Rubio” is all we heard for days after the Iowa caucus results came in.
I guess I just don’t understand the media’s thinking. (Not!)

Even conservatives support eminent domain for legitimate public purposes. But that does not include expansion of private business nor expansion of the tax base.
In the present political climate, possibly the ultimate compliment anyone can give another citizen.
Cruz's handlers may have not thought that "attack" through.
That is precisely the main reason I support Trump.
No "party uber alles" crap!
America first!
Go Trump!
The most pitiful, childish, snarky add, I’ve ever seen.
Trump isn’t conservative enough to be a RINO.
Ted Cruz Might Be The REAL WINNER in New Hampshire
I have to admit...it made me laugh! One, because it is so well done. And two, because it is TRUE!!!
