Cruz loses porn star ad, but gains hip rap ad w/ Hillary wielding a baseball bat

[Torie]

Smashing you know what. Yes, I know,  it's not effective.

[Mike Thick]

well, that was... interesting

[Shadows]

This guy is a troll, Ted Cruz seriously? As much as I dislike Clinton, Cruz may well be downright nasty!

His ex-roomie hates him so that's saying something

[The Free North]

I mean....I thought it was kind of funny.

[The Other Castro]

This is hilarious.

It's an amazing ad, besides the fact that the woman doesn't look much like Hillary.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

This is better than every single Trump ad. I was actually also impressed with his "little kids playing with Trump action figure" ad even though the news anchors weren't. Great, great campaign he's running. It's a shame that he's so despicable.

[Trapsy]

Cruz has been strong with ads this season. HAHAHAHA dying.

[Maxwell]

The problem with Cruz's ads is they generally don't make an instant point.

Very true. Though they seemed to have worked on the lyrics for quite a while.

[Antonio the Sixth]

LOL

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the average Republican voter has probably never seen Office Space.

Edit: I'm also going to assume that Ted Cruz himself has probably never seen Office Space.

Airing during SNL.  This was my favorite scene in Office Space.

[MT Treasurer]

His best ad so far. It just keeps getting better and better!

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Oh wow. I wonder why Ted Cruz is attacking Hillary Clinton!?

well it is going to have to be a different version since this one doesn't have 'I'm Ted Cruz, blah blah'...I suspect they will have a shorter 30 second version for TV.

So, let me get this straight. Clinton is either "inevitable" and Sanders has no shot at winning the primary, or Republicans would gain just as much out of attacking Sanders, but choose not to so that he can win the primary? You just can't win with Hillary supporters.

[DrScholl]

That's what would happen to him if he faced Clinton in the general, he'd get beaten badly.

The Cruz campaign ordered 2 one minute ads to air during SNL in both Greenville-Spartanburg and Charleston, at least.  I'd be shocked if this ad isn't going to be shown during it.  It fits the show well.  It's also possible that Cruz could use his Trump SNL equal time request to get the ad on in places like Las Vegas - though that's not clear.

The YouTube video is 59 seconds.  The candidate approval statement takes 2 seconds or so.  Most 1:00 campaign ads are actually 1:01 on YouTube.  So it would be easy for the Cruz campaign to add the required approval statement and turn it into a TV ad.

[Adam Griffin]

Yeah, there is a certain demographic being targeted here with the ad (probably 25-45). I knew what it was playing off of within the first 2 seconds.

I've never said Sanders has no shot, and I'm sure if he becomes the nominee he will be decimated pretty quickly by the onslaught of GOP ads. Sanders does have a chance, albeit a smaller chance than Hillary, so Republicans are jumping at the opportunity to help him win. They want to help Sanders because they are more scared of Hillary.

Not sure what part of that is difficult to understand.

It's not you, it's that I've often seen many Hillary supporters make the former point one day, then the latter point the next. They need to make up their minds and stop contradicting themselves.

That's a very clever ad. Nicely done...

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Probably would have been better as a GE ad, but I think using it now helps establish the idea in Republican minds that Cruz is ready for the GE.

[Shadows]

No1 takes it seriously about Clinton being hard to beat, she has 0 appeal with independents & young voters.

The GOP hates Clinton though & the right wing media will probably hate Sanders soon. They thing he will be easy to beat like they thought with Obama because they can NOT understand this revolution & how such a left wing candidate could win. They are stuck in their far right mindset.

Or they know Clinton will be the nominee & hence wants to weaken as much as possible!
