Ted Cruz Already Looking Ahead to Nevada With Latest Ad
Charisma News ^ | February 19, 2016 | BOB ESCHLIMAN

Posted on 02/19/2016 8:13:51 AM PST by GodGunsGuts

After Saturday's very important South Carolina Republican Primary, the presidential nomination process kicks into a whole new gear.

Three days later, on Tuesday, Republicans in Nevada will gather for their caucus. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) isn't waiting for Saturday night's results from the Palmetto State to launch his efforts in the Silver State. He unveiled his first Nevada-specific ad on Thursday afternoon.

The 30-second spot, titled "Nevada Land," continues the Cruz campaign's attacks on Republican front-runner Donald Trump over the issue of eminent domain and federal ownership of land. It features Cruz speaking directly to the voters:

"Eighty five percent of Nevada is owned and regulated by the federal government. And Donald Trump wants to keep big government in charge. That's ridiculous.

"You, the people of Nevada, not Washington bureaucrats, should be in charge of your own land. If you trust me with your vote, I will fight day and night to return full control of Nevada's lands to its rightful owners—its citizens. Count on it."

Trump currently holds a 22-point lead over Cruz in recent polls, according to Real Clear Politics. But unlike in Iowa, Nevada delegates aren't bound to the results of the caucus popular vote, making the Silver State a test of organizational strength rather than get-out-the-vote efforts.

Cruz got a boost in that regard, as well, on Thursday. Carl Bunce, who was Rand Paul's senior advisor in Nevada, announced his endorsement and encouraged "libertarian-leaning conservatives" to caucus for the Texas senator.

Bunce joins former Huckabee state leaders Assemblyman John Ellison and former Nevada Republican Party National Committeeman James Smack, who also endorsed Cruz.

"In Nevada and throughout the country, a growing coalition of courageous conservatives continue to unite around us, and I'm thrilled to have Carl joining our team," Cruz said. "Carl has been a staunch advocate for the liberty movement in Nevada and throughout our nation. He brings great experience to our campaign in uniting and turning out libertarian-leaning Republicans, and ensuring they stay engaged in the political process and have their voices heard in the upcoming election."

Make sure you guys bring up Trump supporting casinos, strippers and hookers. That will definitely sink him in Nevada.

I heard Ted Cruz was headed back to Texas today. Very unusual. Maybe you should vote for Ben Carson instead South Carolinians.

I doubt bringing all of that up, or Trump’s profligate use of illegal & H1B labor, will make much difference to his supporters. They are true believers.

It’s a good strategy by Cruz but the hooker vote will sink him.

Sounds pretty freaking Byzantine to me.

So the people vote, but the smoke-filled-back-rooms decide.

Great.

Cruz "character":

1. Phony summonses mailed out, scaring people to vote for Cruz.

2. Claiming Carson quit, presinc captains told voters "vote for Cruz"

3. Campaigning in the 800 churches, showing video "vote for me" with his preacher/father stomping for him.

4. "Brilliant" lawyer, did not know he was Canadian citizen and that he is not Natural Born Citizen, not eligible for office of P or VP.

Just enough to beat Trump in IA, apologize, rinse and repeat?

In 3 days, Cruz can put out as many commercials as he wants, but a 22-point lead MIGHT evaporate to a 10 point-lead if Cruz is lucky.

I’d keep they eyes on Rubio in Nevada. After Trump, he may just get 2nd.

Trump's Honesty....

Trump’s bin Laden ‘Prediction’ , Fact check: Did Donald Trump predict the 9/11 attacks?

Donald Trump is wrong about Ford and Mexico, FactCheck: Trump’s bogus boast about Ford

Trump Off-Base on Cruz Loan Rates

Trump Overstates Cruz Challenges

Trump said he got to know Putin “very well” while the two were on CBS’ “60 Minutes.” Nope. The two men were interviewed separately, in different countries thousands of miles apart.

Trump claimed his campaign is “100 percent” self-funded. Nope. At the time, more than 50 percent of his campaign’s funds had come from outside contributors.
