“I like it. Beat Trump at his own game. Also appeals to the women voters.”
The women (and men) in our family were sooooooo relieved we all voted Trump when this Cruz PAC ad hit. This is backfiring against Cruz BIG TIME in my family. Oh, and we’re Mormons, the supposed target audience.
So you’re saying freedom of speech is not a right?
OT.....Heidi has gained weight, especially in her face and is now looking somewhat like THE BRIDE OF WIDENSTEIN, which is freaky!
I seem to be very much out of the loop.
You’re the idjit, dumbass. Citizens United made it illegal for SuperPacs and Candidates to coordinate how to spend MONEY. Get a couple brain cells and rub them together. You can’t so let me spoon feed you.
The Citizens United decision made it possible for super PACs to collect unlimited corporate, union and individual contributions as long as they did not coordinate with candidates to determine how to spend the money.
Candidates believe they can share information with super PACs or other outside groups if that information is relayed in a public setting.
Candidates and super PACs can also communicate through the press. The Cruz campaign did precisely this when anonymous Cruz advisors told Politico they were dismayed by the lack of advertising from the quartet of super PACs created to support him.
“I assume they’re waiting so their media buyers make the highest commission,” a Cruz advisor told Politico. The strategically placed complaint apparently came about because one pro-Cruz super PAC worried about coordinating with the campaign. According to CNN, Keep the Promise I super PAC was planning a series of biographical advertising spots in South Carolina using the b-roll from Cruz’ Senate account — until lawyers stepped in to say that using the footage could run afoul of the coordination statutes.
One of the Cruz super PACs, Keep the Promise III, heard the call. The group made a tiny ad buy of $3,700 for 14 spots on the local CBS station in Davenport, Iowa, from Nov. 16-25.

There’s so much more including the actual FEC findings but you’re probably too stupid to actually look it all up yourself. And yes, it addresses the FEC position on candidates attending FEC events.
Let's see. Cruz says his campaign had NOTHING TO DO with the ad, he didn't like it, and spouses/children should be left out of politics.
While I understand that liberals never need FACTS to push a meme......Republican's USED to look for proof before condemning ANOTHER Republican. Guess that's why "lib" Trump is so happy doing the "scorched earth" policy of personal insults and innuendos to take out his competition.
BTW, I have witnessed "first hand" Trump's "no class" tweet attacks against Cruz's wife....even after he said those type attacks were WRONG when used against HIS wife, Melania.
Looks like Trump has another Liberal disease...aka "HYPOCRISY"........
Yes I recall it. I’m not saying Trump was in the wrong for his tweet of spilling the beans or the Heidi/Melanie pic. I was LMFAO.
“My fascination lies in how this plays out. We’re past the opening rote tit-for-tat BS; boring. They key is how DT responds.”
My bet is that DT moves on, while TC flails about looking to fight. TC is off message while DT is talking policy and current events. Leaves Ted looking like the Black Knight again.
Ignorance is not bliss.
Trump married Melania Knauss in January of 2005, eleven years ago. That photo that Cruz put on Facebook (oh, I forgot—like Obama, Cruz doesn’t know about these things until he reads about them the next day/week in the newspaper) Cruz operatives—like lying to delegates, “Carson dropped out, so give us your delgates?”—pulled this sixteen (16) year old photo of her, when she was a single, smoking hot, soft-core porn model (yes, unlike Cruz, like us, Trump likes beautiful women) and tried to help their tube-necked boss `Squiggy’ with the Mormons.
It’s just more political chicanery that is becoming a Cruz hallmark.
Now Cruz has the brazen effrontery to feign outrage because Trump is pissed at the craven little illegal immigrant for rabbit-punching him by smearing his wife, then running away to his safe place and yelling “Nyah nyah nyah!”
There’s no way I could vote for this turd Rafael, another alien objecting to people using his real name.
Being married to Ted has to be a very stressful position.
Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase; you Cruzites are exactly what you claim that Trump supporters are, but aren’t.

Just replying to TK’s post in-regards to the term Lollipop now being a sexual reference. I believe it was something in reference to what DIamond and Silk had posted.
ooo...Levin says it was, “utterly inappropriate”.
“Completely”, Oh well that is a game changer.
Emory University might have a place for you.
What’s this “personal space” nonsense?
I’m not smitten with Cruz. In fact, I was so excited by the entire field this year but now I’m sick of all of them.
However, the idiocy of you trumpites is turning me off toward him.
********************************************
Yes, you are so sick of all of them you are on here standing up for Cruz, priceless. HA!
Listen, if you think it’s acceptable for Cruz to continually use his children for photo opts but the children has no say in the matter....then I am done trying to make you understand. Good day.
The point is that Cruz had nothing to do with the ad & knowing that, Trump still had to tweet Cruz more than once. Why? He likes this kind of publicity...it’s demeaning to both wives.
agreed but Cruz drew first blood.
Fine, but it’s off point. Trump didn’t tweet Cruz about what Beck said 8 mos. ago, he tweeted him about something about which Cruz had no involvement.
