It’s on: New Cruz ad ridicules Trump as fake Republican
Hot Air ^ | February 10, 2016 | ED MORRISSEY

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):

Quit Assuming! We’re not blind at all. We know Donald’s past. We also know he’s not a politician, not an attorney, and has run an actual business - three simple traits that cannot be ascribed to Ted Cruz.

"Because claiming someone is a fake Republican is not exactly a negative."

A common assumption is that it would be during Republican primaries. But who knows in the current situation? It is a creative, fun ad to watch though.

Look at the first two words of the title: “It’s on”

“like donkey kong” just completes a phrase.

{I don’t think we have many chances left to save our Constitution. Cruz will definitely give it more time.

Once we move past following the Constitution (and we have in many ways); our nation will change very quickly}

And most importantly, Trump will drive a stake through it.

So who is the real Republican? The ones we voted in to correct the problem we were told was because they didn’t have the House, or the Senate and then got on their collective knees to kiss Obama’s a$$. I for one do not identify with any Republican. Lie to me once shame on you, lie to me again and I agree, shame on me.

In terms of clearing out excessive costs and regulations, yes, most of us side with the property owners. If a developer can legitimately acquire a piece of property and wants to develop it, the government should not get in his way, except perhaps in the rarest of circumstances.

But the government should not be in the business of using force to acquire the property for the developer.

You know better than that, and so does The Don. He said so in September.

This is one of my problems with Touchback Trump. He changes his views based on political convenience.

PACs get to do the heavy lifting and ‘dirty tricks’ and no one likes to give them ‘credit’ for that.

Trump’s appeal is the proposition that he stands for us. If Cruz can show that Trump doesn’t but he does, he gains votes.

Trump will try to use executive powers to do things like that. He said he’ll revoke 0bama’s executive orders, but “I’ll do good ones.”

IOW, he plans to give us executive rule just like 0bama.

The GOPe aren’t real Republicans either. Most people think of real Republicans to be Reagan Republicans, as opposed to Country Club Republicans, or Establishment Republicans, Liberal Republicans like Donald Trump.

Did you know that Kirk Gibson was drafted to play both Pro baseball AND football?

Yeah, he really was that good.

“Early life and collegiate career[edit]

Gibson was born in Pontiac, Michigan on May 28, 1957,[3] grew up in Waterford, Michigan (attending Waterford Kettering High School), and attended Michigan State University where he was an All-American wide receiver in football. Gibson’s college football career was distinguished by leading the Spartans to a tie for the Big Ten title, setting school and conference receiving records, starring in the Hula Bowl and Senior Bowl and making several All-America teams. It was at the suggestion of Spartan football coach Darryl Rogers that Gibson played collegiate baseball.[4] Gibson played only one year of college baseball, but managed to hit .390 with 16 homers and 52 RBIs in 48 games.[5] He was drafted by both the Detroit Tigers baseball team (1st round) and the St. Louis Cardinals (now the Arizona Cardinals) football team (7th round). He chose baseball.”

They know. Like other liberals, they don’t care. As I said, to them, if the facts contradict the narrative, the facts are wrong.

Ted is a person who has fought our battles, sometimes by himself. Trump is a person who has used the government to enrich himself.
