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

Posted on 02/10/2016 8:37:25 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

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):

Ted Cruz has been one of the leading fighters AGAINST corporate welfare.

Donald Trump has been one of its beneficiaries.

Oil is a global market. The more we produce and the more we sell, the lower th price. the lower the price, the less dependent we are on hostile foreign regimes who want to harm us. That’s called national security.

How many years has Trump been a Republican? Longer than Ted has been a U.S. citizen?

unfortunately, a strict interpretation of the constitution gives the president and the federal government very little power.

Yes, that's the design. You think that's "unfortunate"? It's essential. And we need to get back to that. Sadly, the Federal government has arrogated unto itself many powers that it does not rightfully have.

Ted Cruz understands that. Barack 0bama and Donald Trump don't.

Trump attempted to throw a little old lady out on the street

By offering her far more than what the property was worth?

What other properties did Trump get condemned?

So we are supposed to vet banks and who they hire before we do business with them?

Honest question. Is it like buying things made in America or something?

We did not produce the oil.Canada produced the oil. . Canada got the dollars for it. Asia got the money for selling it.

I think it’s “unfortunate” that we have gotten to this point. But, here we are.

I am glad though that we both agree that Ted Cruz would accomplish nearly nothing, because a strict interpretation of the constitution (which he would certainly use), wouldn’t allow him too.

Thus the case for voting for Trump instead.

In the most recent polls, Cruz polls ahead of Hillary and Bernie; Trump doesn’t.

Just a quick point, Is that a nationwide poll or specific to a specific state. In the critical states which we must win: OH, FL, VA, NM, WI, etc. How does Cruz stack up against the dems compared the rats? Does Trump do better. I know that Trump has broader appeal and attracts more than just conservative voters.

I suggest you check Cruz's voting record in regards to corporate welfare for big pharma & its chemical companies, i.e. Monsanto, you know all that GMO (pesticide ridden corn) that the farmers in Iowa grow that goes into the food supply, be it fresh or processed?

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/mar/7/ted-cruz-dont-let-anti-science-zealotry-shutdown-g/

Do you realize that it is scientific fact that GMO’s cause cancer? So who benefits from GMO’s? Big pharma & it's chemical subsidiaries in which Congress subsidizes via research grants, etc.

1the UGLY truth ...

Ted Cruz is establishment, it is just that he and his pundits, such as Mark Levin, are really good at twisting the truth so that good is now bad and bad is good.

This from a fake American.

Someone should tell Trump that Cruz is a Canadian, because Trump says he is considering Cruz for VP.

Sen. Cruz Files Additional Amendments to Immigration Legislation

Cruz 1324: Green Card (LPR) reform to modernize, streamline and expand legal immigration Provisions of his amendment include:

Doubling the overall worldwide green card caps from 675,000 visas per year to 1.35 million per year (not including refugees and asylees):

Employment-based green cards: Consolidates the 5 existing employment-based visas into a single high-skilled employment-based visa.

Family-based green cards: Creates a single family-based visa category that treats all immigrant families equally by redefining "immediate relatives" as "spouses, minor children, and parents of citizens or LPRs."

Treating immigrants from all countries equally by eliminating the diversity visa program and the per-country visa caps: Currently, immigrants of identical skill may experience drastically different wait times and burdens based merely on their country of origin. Not only is this inequitable, it hurts our ability to attract the best and brightest.

Reducing bureaucracy: Creates a user-friendly online portal where visa applicants can apply and obtain updates on their application.

Cruz 1325: Increase high-skilled temporary worker visas (H-1B visas) five-fold

This amendment would improve our nation’s legal immigration system by increasing the H-1B cap from 65,000 to 325,000. It would also help America retain the people it educates by authorizing dual-intent student visas and address the need for high-skilled labor by creating a block grant to promote domestic high-skilled workers.

Cruz 1326: Combines Cruz 1324 and Cruz 1325. Implements Green Card reform to streamline and expand legal immigration and increases high-skilled temporary worker visas five fold.

“Trump isn’t conservative enough to be a RINO.”

But he makes a damned good progressive democrat.
