New Cruz ad: Damn, it feels good to be a Clinton
Hot Air ^ | February 12, 2016 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 02/12/2016 8:15:00 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

As Matthew Continetti remarked on Twitter, whoever handles Team Cruz' campaign ads deserves a raise - assuming this comes directly from the campaign, as MSNBC reported today. While Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders argued over the record of Henry Kissinger and the foreign policy of the Nixon administration, the Cruz campaign launched a pitch-perfect shot at Hillary in this Office Space spoof. Rather than destroying a printer, however, "Hillary" and two aides destroy an e-mail server while the soundtrack raps out, "Damn, it feels good to be a Clinton": ...

This ad isn’t just good for Cruz, it’s good for Conservatives in general.

I can see several great opportunities for this going viral between now and November, regardless of who the nominee is.

For anyone in their mid 30s to late 40s, they will recognize that scene from Office Space and it is a pretty biting ad going against Hillary.

One of the better attack ads this cycle. Reinforces the idea that Hillary is never held accountable, and never will be by the media.

Not bad. My only minor quibble is that they used the wrong song. But I guess “damn” is more acceptable than “die mothaf***a die mothaf***a die”, which are the real lyrics in that part of the movie.

Doesn't matter, Cruz will wipe the floor with him.

It has got to feel good to be a Clinton!

Tens of millions skimmed from charities, hundreds of thousands for giving banal speeches, unlimited get out of jail free cards! Unlimited bimbos and bimbettes!

What a country!

Probably not among your typical very religious Cruz voter. Personally the swearing doesn’t bother me, and I’m guessing this ad won’t run on TV, but will probably be targeted to a male 30 - 50 demo online.

It’s bashing Hilldog, so I’ll give praise where it’s due. :)

Why not MF and Ho, since this is just pandering to the millenial crowd?

The new Cruz strategy may be to do something outrageous, then pull it and get more publicity from the ensuing shaming than they ever would have from the thing itself...porn models, gansta rappers...

I think it’s funny that his gangsta appeal is based upon a 17 year old movie.

He’d be better off with Malibu’s Most Wanted.

What a dork.

Yeah, that movie and that scene are absolutely iconic for a heck of a lot of people in a prime voting demographic.

I’ve worked for two companies that allowed employees to reenact that scene on office equipment that was being put out to salvage. One of them used it as a fundraising tool. Taking out an HP5300 with an 8lb sledgehammer is incredibly satisfying, and well worth the $10 to do so.

Now that is the way you campaign for President

You attack the other party candidates.

Not like Big Mouth New Yawk Value Man always trashing your party (like he has one) candidates.

Giving the enemy ammo for the general to run against the nominee.

GO CRUZ GO.

The principled Conservative in the race

I wonder what fault will be found about this latest?

The actress that portrayed what is obviously supposed to be the Hildabeast ---is a lesbian, or something?

Oh, the shame. Cruz supporters -- hypocritical church ladies.

Right?

Am I the only one who has noticed that recently there has emerged on this site a cadre of Trump supporters (not uniformity all Trump supporters, mind you) who attack Cruz (and Cruz supporters) using Alinskyite tactics, trying to make it out that Cruz is unfaithful to his own principles, while of course their own do not share in with those same principles ----but are apparently seeking to TEAR THEM DOWN???

It's no wonder Alinsky quite literally gave acknowledgment to/dedicated one of his books to Satan.

"I heard one of the actors was a gay porn star. True?"

Not true! When Ted Cruz found out that one of the actresses in one commercial was a porn star that campaign add was pulled. Has nothing to do with this one.

My bad. Too many distasteful ads to keep track of.

using Alinskyite tactics

No you aren't alone in noticing that and Alinsky is what progressives do.

Uh, that is a naughty word there, Ted...

Yup. Clinton is as bad a curse word as you can get in my book.

It’s not appealing to the Millienials who have probably never seen the movie. It’s a shot straight at the Gen-Xers who are very familiar with the movie, and are a demographic that Cruz needs to increase his popularity with.
