Like Donkey Kong. Ted Cruz scored a surprising third-place finish in New Hampshire in yesterday's first-in-the-nation primary, and now it looks like he's going for a knockout before South Carolina. Cruz tweeted out the campaign's latest web ad after his victory, one that takes aim at the winner, Donald Trump. The ad depicts children playing with their new "Donald Trump action figure," and says what he does most is "pretend to be a Republican"...

Donkey Kong. What in Hades does that have to do with Cruz getting 3rd. To me it's surprising that he almost got beat by !Jeb! and lost to Kasich. Wow, how delusional can Ed be. He truly is full of Hot Air. A commercial is going to knock out Trump. Pure idiocy from a desperate writer trying to salvage something from yesterdays humiliation:

Nwe Hampshire is a pretty liberal state. It didn’t used to be, but it got invaded by refugees from The People’s Republic of Taxachusetts (and some from Vermont.)

It’s surprising that an unabashed conservative like Ted Cruz did as well as he did. Especially with the media (even the “conservative” media) trying to make sure he didn’t.

CNN panned the ad last night. All except Amanda Carpenter (Cruz supporter), who thought it would be effective. The criticism was that it lacked "documentation" like a recording of Trump saying something, or a narrator repeating what Trump said. It's just some kids making claims.

I don't think the ad will be up for long. There are services that test the efficacy of ads, and I think this one will not work for Cruz. He'll commission another one.
