Donald Trump just released his first attack ad

Despite Cruz’s own claims of being an outsider in the Senate, a lot of Republican voters don’t buy it. By two to one (52% to 26%), voters say they prefer someone who is an outsider to one favored by the GOP establishment, and they are evenly divided in how to categorize Cruz.

“The millions of dollars of attack ads will come, but they’re not gonna overcome, I believe, the strength of the grassroots”, Cruz said.

“Ted Cruz complains about my views on eminent domain, but without it we wouldn’t have roads, highways, airports, schools or even pipelines”, he tweeted.

Trump has been leading national polls of Republican voters for months. GOP frontrunner Donald Trump released his first TV attack ad on Friday aimed directly at his Republican rival Texas Senator Ted Cruz.

CNN commentator and former congressman Mike Rogers said, “Donald Trump is appealing as much to Democrats as he is to Republicans”.

Donald Trump said he was proud that Sarah Palin chose him as the recipient of her support. Rubio’s path to the nomination has to be third in Iowa, second in New Hampshire and then a win or a very close second in SC – strategy dubbed “3-2-1”. But Trump and Cruz share similarities in perceptions.

Next comes two former governors, Florida’s Jeb Bush and Arkansas’s Mike Huckabee.

Sen. Ted Cruz expressed surprise that Donald Trump suddenly discovered illegal immigration was a problem when he began running for president.

Cruz has been climbing in recent polls. They’re concerned that he’ll alienate voters in a half-dozen key swing states with his hardline stances on issues from immigration to abortion.

Palin made clear in her endorsement that one of Trump’s biggest strengths is that he is “beholden to no one”, which allows him to best combat crony capitalism and what Cruz has called the “Washington cartel”. It is true that Trump is in a commanding position.

At the awards ceremony, held in conjunction with a gun show, Trump reiterated his support for the Second Amendment – a topic that has been a constant refrain at his rallies and often draws loud applause. “I think if you do indiscriminate bombing in the Middle East, you may well create more terrorists than you kill”.

Cruz compared the billionaire’s health care proposals as “indistinguishable from Bernie Sanders” during an interview with ABC News that aired early Friday. And most of the pro-Trump sentiment reported this week is driven by hatred of Cruz rather than any affection for Trump.

Yet mainstream Republicans say they’re essentially powerless to stop him. That was notable stylistically because Trump rarely-if ever-reads from prepared remarks while campaigning.
