Donald Trump Releases First Tv Ad of 2016 Main Season Schedule

The ad is a distillation of the Trump pitch.

“The third thing I would do in office is instruct the Department of Justice and the IRS that the persecution of religious liberty ends today”, Cruz said. Despite spending the least amount of money on his campaign, Trump has led public opinion polls for months. “But I said take it and keep it and give some of it in terms of the form of money and profit to the veterans and the families”, he said. Among only Republicans, however, 6 in 10 say they would support such a policy. “What he can’t do in these speeches is attach the visuals”.

Former President Bill Clinton waves to a cheering crowd as he arrives during a campaign stop for his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Monday, Jan. 4, 2016, in Nashua, N.H.

The ad promises that Trump “will cut the head off of ISIS and take their oil”.

Trump communications director Hope Hicks clarified in a formal statement: “The use of this footage was intentional and selected to demonstrate the severe impact of an open border and the very real threat Americans face if we do not immediately build a wall and stop illegal immigration”.

“It’s going to link evocative visuals with a familiar message”, she said. “He doesn’t say how he’s going to build this wall, he just says that somehow he’s going to make Mexico pay for it”, said Dr. Scott Huffmon, political professor at Winthrop University.

He added: “We are a nation of laws. Now he’s attached pictures to it”.

“He’s doubling down on the angry white man vote”, Republican strategist Katie Packer said of Trump’s new ad. “And guess what?”

Haley Sammis said she believes Cruz has the “traditional American values and will fight for liberty”, and that religion is a big motivator in how she votes.

“They have to choose a nominee and we have a primary to win”, he said when asked about Trump and the broader Republican field. Unlike some candidates, I don’t think foreign terrorists captured overseas should get any rights under our constitution or in our courts. “Let’s see what ad No. 2 is”.

And after the effectiveness of positive TV commercials came into question previous year, when tens of millions of dollars failed to lift Bush, January will offer insights into whether attack ads still have the power they did in past elections.

According to NBC News, presidential candidates spent nearly $120 million combined on television advertising in 2015, with Mr Trump accounting for only the smallest fraction of that. Trump criticized the deal that President Barack Obama, a Democrat, and Secretary of State John Kerry made with Iran. Cruz also distinguished himself from Dewhurst with his full-throated support for a border wall estimated by the Department of Homeland Security to cost $7.3 billion, or $6.5 million per mile.

“I’m leading in each poll by wide, double digit margins”.

But what makes this ad different is not how much he’s spending, but how little.
