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):

Yes. He meant Ted was telling the truth about him.
It appeals to the electorate IQ.
Seriously? You see land seized under eminent domain for highways, airports, railways and pipelines (i.e. relatively unrestricted public use and benefit) as being the same as land seized to build a privately-owned, for-profit hotel?
.....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.
Whatever floats your boat. I see no reason to trust him or to think he intends on doing anything he says, other than he says so.
If you think he is not a politician,congratulations! He is a very gifted politician and as you graciously acknowledged is used to and very good at buying and pedaling influence.
Cruz actually fought at the highest level - the Supreme Court for conservative/American causes and won 5 of them - the one against the UN/Bush was most impressive to me,cheered back then, had never heard of Cruz at that time.
DT has changed his positions on amnesty, Syrian refugees,healthcare and more in the last six months than any candidate in recorded history and doesn’t know basic civics.
“Did you know that Kirk Gibson was drafted to play both Pro baseball AND football?”
Yes.
A talent for sure.
I like Cruz, but don't think that he has that crossover appeal that Trump has to get these states in play. In spite what a lot of Cruz supporters are saying, Trump's platform is fairly conservative. It is true that Cruz is more conservative, but in my mind, he is less electable.
Great ad.
Agree, “Conservative” is the branding Cruz should secure, not “Republican”. RINOs ruined “Republican” years ago.
Don’t forget Dewey beats Truman, 1948.
Oh, ok, you are a dishonest shill for Trump...I get it.
Good post.
Let’s not forget one of DT’s most important proposals - $100 million ballroom for the WH. Sums up DT’s campaign nicely.
Drat...
LOL
It had to laugh too.
Because it's also inconsequential, and irrelevant.
We need to be adult children to 'get' it.
“Trump is a person who has used the government to enrich himself.”
No offence, but you know nothing about Trump, or commercial real estate. I was in it 30 years, and did two transactions with the Trump Organization in the late 80’s in Los Angeles. The brightest, most professional people I ever worked with.
And if it weren’t for city, county, state and federal governments, Trump(and others) would have built many more projects.
Think that, if it makes you happy.
LOL!
“You know better than that, and so does The Don. He said so in September.”
Ted Cruz was born in Canada as a Canadian citizen, so what kinf of fairy tale are you trying to invent now?
“This is one of my problems with Touchback Trump. He changes his views based on political convenience.”
What view are you trying to imply? The topic was the evident ineligibility of Ted Cruz and the fact no Republican candidate with an ineligibility problem due to having a parent who was an alien citizen at the time of birth has ever won the general election, except Vice President Chester Arthur.
“Like Donkey Kong”
The old video game character?
Nobody's perfect, and "politic" has more than a single definition for educated adults.
