  4. The video is old.
    If Cruz really wants to hit Trump he needs to play the video of Trump saying he was cool with Pelosi and Reid that occurred YESTERDAY!

    Trump said he could work with them.
    NOT defeat them!
    NOT bury them!
    NOT take their lunch money!
    NOT bitch-slap them!
    He did NOT call them nasty!
    Even though I could NOT think of two NASTIER people in the country.

    Trump in the Hat
    He would not insult THEM in a box
    He would not insult THEM because he thinks the election is a lock
    He may rue the day
    But what the hay
    Because that is how that bastard plays…

  6. I’m not convinced. Not current enough (Fat Lions’s mane isn’t that color anymore). There are other ways (and better clips) to hit the Trumpster with. I doubt this changes anyone’s mind one way or the other.

    I like your ‘Dr. Suess’ there Loco!

  8. Best thing about Trump is that he is for the betterment of absolutely every single citizen. Except for Rosie O’Donnell. The haters simply need to take 30 minutes to listen to the man, just as we have wasted years on Hillary’s swill.

  9. Not that I am ever right but I think it is a more than fair ad. Trump’s beliefs seemed to have changed the minute he threw his hat in the Republican ring. I figure he is closer to Bloomberg than Giuliani. Trump’s petulance is seriously repugnant to all but his rock solid supporters. The question is are the Iowa voters smart enough to go with someone who can win as opposed to wasting their vote on likes of Bush and the other establishment also rans.

  10. A very focused, potentially effective ad I think. It’s Trump’s own words regardless of when he said some of them (the Iowans being dumb remark was only a few weeks ago). Politics is a contact sport as I’m sure all the candidates are aware, so I don’t see the ad as being “disingenuous” or “dirty politics” any more than Trump bashing Cruz lately. According to Trump, Cruz is a “nasty” guy, so he should expect much worse than this ad..

  11. An ad featuring NY politicians would have been more effective (Weiner, Clinton, Schumer, DeBlasio etc…) ending with Trump hanging with Clinton…with an text/voiceover overlay of all the stupid costly things that they have passed while in office…end it with NY Values.

    Anyhoo….

  12. Iowa is an ‘odd duck’ to start off the election cycle & is a poor harbinger of future results. Cruz seems to be putting all his eggs in that basket. That being said, if Trump comes in second (it doesn’t even have to be that close) & Trump wins in NH, NV, SC then Cruz must win Super Tuesday …. or else the nomination is Trumps … it could happen …. or not.
    …just the reality of the situation

  14. Maybe they’ll do one like that as well. I really don’t want the next president to be making any deals with leftists that hate America (aka democrats like Pelosi, Shumer, etc.). The GOPe has been doing that for the last several years and look where that got us. I thought for a 30 second ad, it summed up the point being made quite well.

  16. Yes, I think that is exactly what it was in context of. I heard the original speech in which he said it. It generated laughter in the crowd. And Trump’s voters know it.

    I’m glad I don’t live in IA. Their phones must be ringing off their hooks! And can you imagine EVERY tee vee commercial being a campaign ad??! I bet they watch lot of Netflix and DVDs every four years.

  17. Cruz’ ” NY values” had the exact same meaning to me if he had said, “Seattle values.” Yeah, far lefty with a whiff of socialism. I never bought into the whole indignation from that comment.

    (where’s the fainting couch! Oh dear me)

    …but Trump sure did batter him with it.

  21. Cruz just living up to his “nasty guy” persona. The clips are disingenuous because they are taken out of context from longer sentences and paragraphs.
    But that’s ok because Iowa DESPISES negative ad campaigns no matter what is in them.
    Where are the ads with Cruz’s policies?

  24. The Iowans being stupid remark was more of a joke when Trump made it. But the remarks on abortion were completely in context from when they were made. Now Trump says he is pro-life because he knows somebody who was going to abort but didn’t and the kid is a total superstar – not a very convincing “change of heart” story to me. Negative ads may work this time. Conventional thinking on this cycle my not apply as well to those in the past.

  25. So Trump supporters are writing it off as negative and from old footage, so it isn’t valid. Interesting.

    As for positive commercials, you mean like this;

    or this one,

    But no matter, I am curious to see if any of this is fact or backed up with evidence. If it does prove out it seems the fix was in and the manipulation of the voters was from the start with Trump;

  26. Maybe the ad with Cruz’ policies is hidden behind this negative ad from Trump against Cruz that was very heavily edited to make Cruz look bad. According to the article, this ad by Trump was the first negative ad of the campaign, so he apparently went negative first. Trump does play the media so well that he doesn’t need many ads of any kind though.

  28. I couldn’t easily find the audio/video of the original Trump remark about abortion, but today Trump was confronted by yet another reporter about the same comment. Here is what he said to the reporter and what he said in the full quote. I’ve seen the original.

    Stefan Molyneux, in talking about this persistent repetition by people, especially taking Trump’s words out of context or believing the chopped up sentences, is willful ignorance — either they are somehow predisposed to believing untruths about Trump, or they know the truth and have decided their preferred candidate cannot win the election without taking Trump out of the contest.

  29. says the guy that posts heavily edited out of context MSNBC clips of Ted Cruz.

    Admit it Pinko, you hate the idea of Cruz as President. We all know it, so just say it! I am not afraid to scream from the roof top about how much I detest Trump, so come clean for us, will ya?

  33. pic looks like one of barry o’frauds adobe photo shop jobs in central park .. while he attended columbia, that
    nobody remembers him being there. you all seem to want a guy who been an american citizen for 15 plus months or so .. vote him in . we won’t be here next
    year talkin’ about him .. don’t forget anchor bay-bee marco cubano . he’s on everyones payroll & is down with sausage eaters. so he got that gay thing goin’ for him. everyone from cooba down to brazillia & back up will be legal nuevo americanos . i hope my sons are alive so they can vote for one of a hundred of ‘el chapos’ anchor babies por el presidente ..

  34. It doesn’t sound like you’ve ever been in any kind of position where you needed to get something done despite having people who were not eager to help you.

    The best example I can give is one years ago when I was a consultant for Very Large Software, Inc. I was hired by the head of HR and quickly learned that there was a great deal of antipathy for the person who hired me by her direct reports. And a lot of infighting. It would have been easy enough for me to go in there, guns a’blazing with my executive mandate. And how much and how quickly I would have been able to accomplish anything would have been exactly squat. I had negative yardage before I sharpened a pencil or opened my mouth. Knowing this, the first meeting I had was with the two most trusted rabble rousers in the place. Needless to say it took a little more time to win their trust, but once I had they were willing to trust me and give me the benefit of the doubt — even run interference for me with the other disgruntleds. And on top of that I was able to repair the relationship between them and the boss they so hated.

    In the end, if people aren’t willing to grow up and figure out how to work together to accomplish the boss’s goals, they gotta go. But you can’t just fire everyone on the opposition’s team in the congress. Trump’s no dope. Why should he alienate everyone if he can bring them around. And bring them around he will, one way or another.

  35. Cruz started organizing for his presidential campaign in the Bible Belt shortly after being elected and has not slowed down there since, and his funding is taken care of clear past the end of the primary season as well.
    Those who think Ted Cruz is a shallow, slow-thinking, wing-and-a-prayer hip-shooter are in for a very big surprise. Attorneys who have more wins than loses in the Supreme Court against people like the president of the USA, Jorge Boosh, don’t just wing-it.
    Teddy ain’t going away Iowa or no Iowa. Sorry Charlie.

  36. Reagan became a “conservative” at 51, after years of lecturing across America for GE on as a motivational speaker on American values (NOT commie-lib Democratic values either!), and officially a Republican in ’64, so, no, he was not near as old as the NEW Donnie-boy, and lived as an obvious Christian his entire life.
    I would encourage those who were not of the Reagan era to learn more about him and his political odyssey:
