Super Awkward Cruz Ad

[user12345]

Well this has to be one of the worst ads I've seen for a presidential candidate. Cruz seems super awkward in it and Robertson seems even awkwarder. But the group they're pandering it too probably doesn't know how to tell a good ad from a horrible one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i-9D92bzu8

It was pretty awkward, but Cruz in hunting gear with the camo makeup on his face made it all worthwhile.

[Skye]

Okay that was pretty awkward.

This entire election cycle has had so many horrible ads, it's not even funny. Worst of all, I have yet to see a Mike Gravel style ad.

[Joe Republic]

This strategy worked great for David Vitter.

Phil Robertson did pretty good, but Cruz is "puppy nod! Puppy likey!"

There is a heck of a lot of difference between employing the Robertsons to help Cruz win a Republican caucus and to help a very flawed candidate win a general election.  The endorsement can't hurt with evangelicals in Iowa - which is who this ad is directed at.

Oh wow.
What a strange political ad.
How on Earth can that ad convince people to support Cruz (or any candidate, for that matter) ??
Now I'm starting to question if Iowans are human .... as that ad could only possibly be persuasive to aliens from Pluto.
(Is it actually airing in Iowa ? New Hampshire ? Both ?)

I doubt it is airing anywhere but on the Internet.  It is too long for your typical :30 TV ad and doesn't have the candidate formally approving the message.

You and most Atlas posters aren't the audience for this supposedly terrible ad, anyway.  I suspect very few Atlas posters are evangelicals or watch Duck Dynasty.

Exactly.  If it's not a TV ad, it's audience is pretty narrow.

Ads like this get talked about on TV.

[Stranger in a strange land]

None of you guys realize what's going on here. This is actually bait for SJWs who'll claim they're wearing blackface.

[Ljube]

This is his best ad this cycle, actually.

So Cruz put on face paint and pretended to go duck hunting in order to make an ad that few people will actually see? Doesn't seem worth it to me.

I was about to say... bruh can't run for president wearing blackface.

Cinyc is on a roll here.

[IceSpear]

Didn't the Duck Dynasty moron endorse Jindal, only to switch to Trump, and now he's switching to Cruz?

Also, I cringed so hard it hurt my soul during this ad. Though I did bust out laughing when it showed Harvard educated Rafael and his cute little doe eyes with makeup on. Dubya's act was a lot more believable.
