First he mocked the similarities in their biographies, calling Senator Marco Rubio "the Republican Obama." Now, in an ad called "Sales Pitch," Senator Ted Cruz is hammering Mr. Rubio for serving up the same talking points as President Obama's.
After calling Mr. Rubio "the Republican Obama" at the end of an ad in Iowa, Mr. Cruz has spliced together clips of Mr. Obama and Mr. Rubio to make them sound like a skipping CD, repeating each other's lines, during the legislative battle over a comprehensive immigration overhaul in 2013.
"They still have to qualify for it," Mr. Rubio says, "meaning --"
"Passing a background check," Mr. Obama says, seeming to finish the sentence. "Passed a background check," Mr. Rubio echoes.
"Paying a penalty," says the president. "Pay a fine," adds Mr. Rubio.
And so on.

OMG!!!!
Another dirty, filthy, disgusting, vile, evil campaign trick by Ted Cruz: showing Rubio for the whore he is!
Rubio should have never been elected Senator. He claimed to be a conservative but soon went back on his word.
This should boost Trump's already 22 point lead in Nevada
Will Rubio issue a cease and desist letter to Cruz now?
That is a good ad.
Hint....Christie's over-the-top debate attack (all pols repeat themselves) did Rubio temporary damage, but it was Christie who dropped out after them. The temporary loss of support by Rubio, looking at the numbers, went to Trump and Kasich.
True. Nevada is Tuesday. Is Cruz getting another 3rd place?
>>> Nevada is Tuesday. Is Cruz getting another 3rd place? <<<
No idea. We still have surviving local cultures that haven’t been homogenized by TV and internet porn, so it’s somewhat difficult to determine what resonates with a state’s population.
I don’t know if it really matters anyhow.
Ahhh.....The power of the Cartel...It seems nobody in the Cartel likes Ted Cruz...I wonder why??
It’s a caucus to too. I hate those.
Cruz’s nasty ads and campaign have been so successful that in just a few short weeks they’ve brought him from first to third place in SC. More negative advertising from Cruz? Normal folks are getting to the point where they’ll vote for the victim of them.

Well Cruz and Christie made the mistake of attacking people on issues. Perhaps they should have engage in dishonest personal attacks like Trump does.
What "issue"? Obama knowing exactly what he's doing as he destroys the US is an issue that bears repeating. The issue that has emerged is Cruz's "do what it takes to win" campaign, that has destroyed the different kind of leader impression of Cruz. Now, the impression is of devious Cruz going after the vulnerable black guy's votes. Don't bother arguing that "it's not true". The shaming ad laid the ground for the impression to gain hold.
The bubble boi can be popped again ala NH.. Beware the ides of march marcoRINO ...
Cruz, R, Goldman Sachs,is losing it...
“The issue that has emerged is Cruz’s “do what it takes to win” campaign,”
So if Cruz were to come out and make the claim Dr. Carson was a mediocre surgeon and a pedophile the same way Trump did that would be OK by you?
FWIW, Trump is making the other candidates stronger. Look how Dr. Carson and Rubio have fought back! Who would've thought, just a few months ago, they had that in them?
Make America Hope For Great Change Again.
Will Rubio issue a cease and desist letter to Cruz now?No. Rubio may be a liar and RINO, but he isn't childish enough to do something like that.
The last thing the GOPe want to do is be called racists. Therefore there will be no opposition to the first Orange President.
