Donald Trump was so unhappy about the Cruz Campaign’s “Supreme Trust” ad that he sent a “cease and desist” letter demanding that the Cruz campaign immediately stop running the ad featuring Trump currently running in South Carolina. During an epic press conference Sen. Ted Cruz rejected Trump’s frivolous demands. In its response the Cruz campaign said the ad is not an attempt to mislead the public:
The objective of the ad is precisely the opposite – to provide the voters of South Carolina with important and accurate information so that they can make an informed decision when they go to the polls.
The Cruz response goes on to say that every statement in the ad concerning Mr. Trump's pro-abortion views comes from Mr. Trump's own mouth. According to the Cruz campaign, the point of the ad is that they do not believe Mr. Trump's recent campaign claim that he is pro-life and the voters should not believe Mr. Trump either:
“Mr. Trump's implausible claim that he is pro-life doesn't meet a reality test,” said Rick Tyler, a campaign spokesman. “His words and actions simply cannot be reconciled. Mr. Trump last week said that Planned Parenthood does do wonderful things, but supporting Planned Parenthood is incompatible with holding the pro-life position Mr. Trump is now claiming.”
It’s good to see Cruz to respond to the Donald’s constant threats to sue.
If Trump didn’t care for “Supreme Trust” ad, he will have another melt down like those he had during the CBS South Carolina Republican Debate over the “Donald’s Choice” ad released Wednesday by the Cruz-supporting Courageous Conservatives PAC. The ad goes on to reference three names Trump has floated as possible replacements for Justice Scalia. Watch the ad:
Justice Scalia's death reminds us the next President will pick as many as four Supreme Court Justices and hundreds of other federal judges.
Just who would Donald Trump pick?
One person Trump suggested took Roy Moore off the Alabama Supreme Court for displaying the Ten Commandments.
Another forced Indiana to fund Planned Parenthood.
And one more who threw out New Jersey's Partial Birth Abortion Ban.
Everything is on the line now: our rights.
Our freedoms. Our America. And the courts are the battleground.
So who do you trust? Who do you trust to fill our federal courts?
Donald Trump with his New York values?
Or Ted Cruz, who won cases before the Supreme Court protecting gun rights, religious freedom and against the World Court.
Saturday's our last chance South Carolina!
Don't blow it.
Ted Cruz. For President.
Let's take our country back. Now. Before It's Too Late.
The three judges are Alabama's former Attorney General Bill Pryor, who in 2003 backed a decision to oust Chief Justice Roy Moore from his position for refusing to follow a federal court order that he remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the front of the state's judicial building. Seventh Circuit Judge Diane Sykes, who authored an opinion striking down an Indiana law that would have defunded Planned Parenthood, and Trump's older sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, who in her first year as an appellate judge for the Third Circuit wrote a decision that overturned a New Jersey law banning late-term abortions.
“the Cruz campaign said the ad is not an attempt to mislead the public”
Sure it is.
The actions of Cruz’s people since Iowa, the push polls and agenda polls: “Comrades! Attention comrades! Have you heard ...” all the lies evidence that Cruz has nothing but contempt for the acumen of the American voting public.
It’s just another parallel with another arrogant Harvard lawyer. We’ll see if he’s right about Palmetto voters in a couple days.
Well it’s better to have a someone else do that for you though. Maybe we can get Jeb to do that :-) But then Jeb can just be dismissed as a joke too.
Unfortunately whoever gets in the mud with Donald will lose along with Donald.
What part of the ad is a lie or misleading?
This is politics. If Trump disagrees that his sister is NOT a viable choice for the supreme court let him go on TV and say that and correct the record from what he has said in the past.
“It seems like a week later, Cruz still hasn’t come up with or doesn’t feel comfortable sharing any suggestions of his own, unless he has and I missed it.”
Because he doesn’t want anyone to dig through their records and find some “impure” rulings, and thus sully the narrative of him guarantying perfect SCOTUS picks.
We need principled Conservatives, not fly by night flipflopping big mouth Manhattanittes.

Lame, try again Sport (err, ‘spurt’ that is)
We need a leader... that is not Cruz...nice guy in a lot of ways but a Senator, Lawyer, not much of track record outside of Government paychecks... I’d rather have a rough and experienced leader that knows how to create jobs, develop and hold on to wealth and knows what is wrong with Government... having had to “deal” with it for the last 34-40 years vs a Senator who has been part of Government... Cruz should be on the Supreme court...
Lets not mention the loans and where Rafael’s wife works.....and the status of his Dad’s US Citizenship at the time of Rafaels’ birth in Canada... Dad was not a natural borne citizen and the issuance of his green card was not completed till later... slight issue..
Besides... I am angry... I want an Angry leader that will hurt some feelings... cue Barry Manillow please
If you put your trust in yourself, and not in your fellow man, you will know that Donald Trump is not to be trusted, and will no doubt come to embarrass each and every one of you.
Can’t refute the truthful charges in the ad, eh?
Reagan worked for a Union and was a democrat...failed marriages too..
I’ll over look some bankruptcies, fail personal life issues to get a leader... That is part of being in business... been there myself.. No risk, no reward.. Cruz never created a job in his life...safe positions in Government..
If Reagan could be come a Conservative, I believe Trump can too...
I have several friends that know and have done business with Trump.. what you see is what you get and he works 12-18 hours a day... not a slacker and remembers people and their stories with what my friends tell me with a tremendous memory for details.
If Cruz has some track record outside of Government...I’d support him more.. he just doesn’t have it..
Cruz worries me being part of the Uni-Party as already made member of the Washington DC cartel with no money so he will dance the tune demanded by those super pacs... I m tired of the Uni-Party...
Trump is like Craig Benson, former Governor in NH... Pissing off the party.. Uni Party that is and making some changes.. Difference is Trump knows this as does his wife... Mr. Benson and his wife got hammered by the Republican Party worse than the Democrat party leaders in NH..the Bensons never expected it and left politics for good which is sad, Craig Benson was a great Conservative Leader.. Trump fully does know what he is dealing with and its driving them nuts...
Wait till Trump as President Demands the 17th Amendment be repealed... hahahaa you will see who loves America more than the Uni-Party... won’t be pretty but then again, change is not pretty
As to being rational.. depends upon who is asking, how much Scotch is left or if a snowboard is strapped to my feet.
As recent as 2009, the Orange One was a rabid liberal. Trump is in his 60s and probably voted for Carter. I don't trust him, and there are GIANT RED FLAGS everywhere if you care to open your eyes.
One thing about Red State, they are good for a laugh.
Having been in business many years...I can tell you I have never seen a lawyer lead ever... endless ideas and options but never a choice made....ever. When told to do so.. it usually resulted in more questions or just being told I can make that decision... kinda useless at some point. That also concerns me about Cruz.
I suspect if he makes it the White house.. lots of nice guy talk with a Christian demeanor and tone but no plans or skills to lead or frankly life experience as a leader to draw from.. its an issue for Cruz..much like Reagan being bullied by the Republicant Party to take on Bush... A James Dobson with a Law degrees is not what is needed right now... a pissed off business leader is what is needed. Tough times, tough decisions... Time for some blood and guts leadership.. not the country club style with a Christian tone...
I see the flags on both Cruz and Trump...
I choose Trump, Cruz belongs on the Supreme court or leading the Senate
If Trump is President, it would be best to have Cruz in the Senate to block the crazy-ass liberal crap that Trump will try to pass with the help of democRATs.
Has Trump sued Cruz yet?
Waiting on it to see if Trump can back all his tough talk
Trump can’t pass anything as President, that lunacy comes from the Uni-Party in congress to include Cruz which is known as our current Gov’t in Washington DC..
Cruz will get owned by his Pac’s and be another slightly less of a financial disaster the 8 years of bush/cheney/Uni-party republicant leadership was to the US Tax payer. Drunk sailors are pikers to that crew and gave us Obungo to boot along with McPain as the candidate in 08... Cruz has swam too long in the turd infested punch bowl to say he is clean..
Trump owns and has provided many punch bowls... big difference. Cheers
Let me say it again....
Trump is seen as more workable by the Uniparty, and to you and the Trump supporters, somehow means he will run the show.
That is Trump supporter logic for you.
Hated by who? Send some facts related to that hatred/endorsement you speak of.
Look up Rafael’s paycheck/work record... 99% from tax payers.
How is Trump worked by the Uni-Party? The special interests own Cruz and Trump was the special interest paying the Uni-party.... how is that make Trump more prone to Uni-party influence? Your zealotry is blinding you and others on the Cruz wagon... Cruz is in the machine...Trump buys the machine...big difference
Cruz is great farm manager
Trump owns many ranches... see the difference
