Trump hits Cruz with late attack ad in Utah
Politico ^ | 3/19/16 | ALEX ISENSTADT

Posted on 03/19/2016 10:51:25 AM PDT by jimbo123

Donald Trump has launched a late TV ad blitz in Utah that targets Ted Cruz just days before state Republicans caucus Tuesday.

The commercial recycles a now familiar Trump attack against the Texas senator, dubbing him "Lying Ted Cruz."

The spot casts Cruz as inconsistent on immigration, an issue that both Trump and the senator have made central to their campaigns. It spotlights an interview Cruz gave on Fox News in December, when he was shown past statements in which he appeared to back a pathway to citizenship for those living in the United States illegally. In the interview, Cruz struggles to answer why he opposes that same position now.

"Lying Ted Cruz: Just another all talk, no action politician," the ad says.

A Trump spokesperson didn't respond to several requests for comment. The spot was captured by a media buying source.

Cruz is what is commonly called an adult child of alcoholics. Both his parents had alcohol problems, and Ted’s Dad abandoned him at a vulnerable age.

***************

I wasn’t aware of the alcohol problems but was of his disfunctional family.
Both parents had previous marriages that didn’t last. Papa had a couple of daughters
one of which led an angry drug/alcohol life and died. His mom even had a child born out
of wedlock in England that died an infant crib death there.

Agree with you totally
The Cruz sister who presumably died of a prescription drug overdose—it was likely accidental, but suicide is always a possibility—is tragic. Seems tragic as well, or at least troubling, that Cruz’ parents divorced after becoming Christians. Of course, we have no idea why; it just seems a shame.

Addiction to alcohol really screws with people. Ted Cruz has had at least one drinking issue of his own. Let’s hope and pray all is well with him and his family throughout the stresses and strains of the campaign and beyond.

I initially lost respect for Cruz during the Iowa Caucus and I keep losing more and more respect for him.

We need to secure the border. Any bill this body passes should have border security first & then legalization. Not the other way around.

I remember at one point Cruz was making the statement that when he is elected he will secure the border...AND THEN they will look at the millions of illegals here and have a discussion on what to do about that...That didn't set well with a lot of his supporters...

To say he's against American Sovereignty is ridiculous.

Ridiculous??? Every Washington supporter he has is against American sovereignty...All of his financial supporters are against American sovereignty...Every trade agreement out there which Cruz supports is against American sovereignty, and he supports them all...All of his CFR supporters are anti American sovereignty, including his wife...

Won't work. Conservatives know Ted was always against

Conservatives know that Cruz is lying his butt off when he claims that when he called legalization of illegals "common sense" that he didn't really mean it. However, the Cruz cult members will always believe he is against, even though they can't find any evidence for it until December when Cruz started claiming he always opposed legalization. For 9 months previous he was saying something very different.

Why are his records sealed?

That's a major disqualifier right there...

Thank you. Hopefully more and more people are paying attention to the FACTS instead of the manufactured “talking points” of Cruz and his ‘handlers.”

I agree. We need to keep the attention focused on his records until people demand they be unsealed. Americans were fooled by Obama. Shouldn’t happen a second time.
