Did I say it was a pro-Cruz PAC? Or did I state it was a pro-Cruz ad? Does it really matter what the PAC claims to be? The issue is the ad not the "designation" of the PAC.Kinda wrong? SMFH Your spin isAnd here I thought the Trump tweet of Heidi and Melania was in response to the anti-Trump ad that said to vote for Ted Cruz.Well Trump is certainly behind the trashing of Heidi Cruz.
Well no, you're kind of wrong... it was in response to an ad run by an anti-Trump PAC which Ted Cruz, as a matter of federal election laws, is prohibited from having any contact with in any way. Being that they are an anti-Trump PAC, the ad may have said Vote for Kasich or Vote for Rubio if either of those candidates were viable contenders to Trump.
The anti-Trump ad said Meet Melania Trump, your next first lady or, you could support Ted Cruz on Tuesday isn't that a pro-Cruz ad? It was a pro-Cruz ad by stating Cruz's name, if it were an anti-Trump ad then Cruz's name would never have been invoked. So, didn't Trump simply respond to the ad with A picture is worth a thousand words?
Sorry... it was not a pro-Cruz PAC. It was an anti-Trump PAC. They are free to state anybody's name... Cruz doesn't hold a copyright to his name. There is no rule or law that PACs can't use certain names... Cruz is the only candidate who is able to defeat Trump in the primary... ergo, his name was used. If Carson, Rubio or Kasich were in Cruz position, they would have used their names.
Trump responded to an anti-Trump PAC by directly attacking Ted Cruz's wife. Furthermore, he implied that Cruz was behind the PAC's ad.... which, if he could substantiate that claim, could eliminate Cruz from the presidential race and politics in general because he would be sent to prison for violating federal election laws.
I think this serves as a classic example of Trump's hot headed knee-jerk reactionary nature to go off half-cocked on someone without all the information. This terrifies some people about him, and rightly so.
Cruz being the only candidate able to defeat Trump in the Primary is why his name was used? LMFAO Just keep spinning (Dori from Finding Nemo)
What exactly was the attack by Trump? it was merely a picture with a caption that was using the PAC's own format.
So because Trump claimed Cruz was behind the ad, it then became an attack on Heidi? Laws are nothing but declarations of paths that say you can't do this this way. EXAMPLE: Federal Law says illegal immigrants can not receive in-state tuition in the states, so the states went around it via stating that if a person attends 3 years of high school in that state, they qualify for in-state tuition. So is that then a violation of Federal Law?
It was already shown that Cruz screwed Carson earlier in the campaign in Iowa. Knee-jerk reaction, or simple allegation? Ted Cruz falsely says campaign simply 'forwarded' CNN's report on Ben Carson
Again... PACs do not need any candidate's permission to use their name. It's like when David Duke came out in support of Donald Trump... Trump has no control over that. I guess we could all dishonestly run around claiming Trump sought Duke's endorsement... and Trump couldn't do anything about that either.
So because Trump claimed Cruz was behind the ad, it then became an attack on Heidi?
Nope... Follow the bouncing ball, dimwit. An anti-Trump PAC who Cruz has nothing to do with, ran an ad featuring Trump's lovely wife and encouraged folks to vote for his rival.... Trump attacked Heidi on his personal Twitter account in response.
Cruz did not screw Carson in Iowa. Carson was never going to win Iowa. Carson left Iowa the day before the caucuses unlike every other serious candidate in the race and said he wouldn't be going to South Carolina like the rest of the serious candidates in the race. Someone with the Cruz campaign pointed out that caucus-goers should not waste their vote on someone who was not a serious candidate. Sorry, that is politics.... It's not like Cruz himself stood there on a national stage and said something was wrong with Carson and he had a mental disease akin to a child molester.
