Aconservative super PAC is trying to swing Utah voters against Donald Trump in tonight's caucus by slut-shaming his wife Melania Trump.
The ad, circulated on social media, shows the former model in a nude 2000 GQ photo shoot with the words: 'Meet Melania Trump, your next First Lady. Or you could vote for Ted Cruz on Tuesday.'
Cruz, who has a precarious 50.1per cent polling average, needs to win a majority backing in order to take all 40 of Utah's delegates. Republican strategist Liz Mair, who founded the super PAC Make America Awesome, said that the ads have been targeting Mormons, who have been shown in previous election results to dislike the Donald.
While Trump is already expected to lose the Utah caucuses with just 11.9per cent of the vote, the PAC is hoping to tip the majority in favor of Ted Cruz, whose backing is on a knife's edge with 50.1per cent polling average. If he fails to win the majority in Utah, the delegates will be split proportionally among the three candidates, diminishing Cruz's chances to top Trump, who is projected to take Arizona.
Make America Awesome is described on its website as 'a SuperPAC dedicated to blocking and reversing Donald Trumps political ascent. 'We are an independent group, and are not authorized by any presidential candidate or candidate committee. Our focus is on using unconventional and cost-effective tactics, as opposed to stereotypical high-cost, limited-yield methods with the objective of providing maximum donor value.' In reference to an anti-Trump ad they ran in January criticizing his business methods, the super PAC tweeted: '...If Trumps opponents are serious about defeating him, they need to start running attacks that work with his voters now...'

I know what you mean. I thought he was a standup guy when I first saw the video “machine gun bacon”, but my wife started to point out some things about him before Iowa and it’s been downhill ever since.She mutes the TV when he is on.
A long time ago I really liked Cruz.
His mother does not seem comfortable with the “staging” of herself during the video. IMO, Ted got her con-man genes from his daddy.
“Do those of you who think Cruz should renounce this ad even though he had nothing to do with it as far as we know are doing the same thing the media has been doing to Republican candidates forever?
And are these some of the same people who complain about the media telling Trump he should have to renounce support from David Duke and everything else thats done by people who support him even though he has nothing to do with it or can really control it ?”
I would never expect him to renounce anything....he’s a scumbag politician with a scumbag campaign manager.
This has Jeff Roes (Cruzs campaign manager) fingerprints all over it.
I can understand you sticking up for your candidate, but dont ask us to suspend reality. Ted Cruz set the tone and boundaries of his campaign when he hired him; he knew what he was getting.
That’s what I’m talking about.
The Haughty or the Hottie.
The choice is YOURS, America!
Donald is beaming.
Yeah, he was my original first pick, then my VP pick. Now, I just want him to pick his sorry arse up and take it back to Canada.
hes a scumbag politician with a scumbag campaign manager.
Here comes the “ but not as bad as Cruz” claims
From day one he might just be ahead on Putin on something.
Yes he is
Make America awesome! Vote for Trump and get your own Melania clone! :^D
You can read that as a promotion of Melania as America’s first lady who will make America awesome.
We’re confused...what’s the step above “Not Guilty?”
Unconditional and full pardon.
“Here comes the but not as bad as Cruz claims”
wow ...I’m speechless
You're right... it's creepy Cruz fell in with Romney and Beck.
Cruz PAC GOPe war on women!
I am with you! This is the left’s war on women!
Let’s not forget that Neil “Silverado S&L” Bush is on board with Team Cruz now too!
