Female Announcer:  We all loved how Marco Rubio took apart Jeb Bush in the debate.  Wasn't it great?

But what's Rubio ever done?  Anything?  Other than his Gang of Eight amnesty bill can anyone think of anything Marco Rubio has ever done?  Anything at all besides amnesty?

Marco Rubio looks good on TV but that's about it.

[Music]

Ted Cruz for President.  Ted Cruz walks tall for what we believe.  Standing up, often standing alone.

Ted Cruz makes things happen.  After Sandy Hook, Ted Cruz stopped Obama's push for new gun control laws.

And Obama's plan to stop Israel flights amounted to an economic boycott.  Ted Cruz stopped it.

And when Chuck Schumer and Marco Rubio tried to push amnesty, it was Ted Cruz who stopped them.

Rubio or Cruz.  Which one do you trust?

Conservative SuperPAC Radio Ads Asks: "Rubio or Cruz, Which One Do YOu Trust

DES MOINES, IA: A conservative SuperPAC supporting Ted Cruz for President is up with its second radio ad in Iowa starting today.
 
Opening by praising Senator Marco Rubio for how he “took apart” Jeb Bush in the debate, the sixty-second ad questions Rubio’s accomplishments in the Senate other than his “Gang of Eight” amnesty legislation, and whether he is the right choice for President.”
 
“Senator Marco Rubio is a great patriot who a lot of potential,” PAC spokesman Rick Shaftan said in a press statement.  “But he just hasn’t yet built the record needed to convince conservatives that he is the man to undo the damage to our country from eight years of Obama and decades of liberal policies from previous administrations.”
 
“Right now, one candidate has a record of actual accomplishment for conservatives and that’s Ted Cruz,” Shaftan said.  “Ted Cruz stands up and often stands alone.  He knows that this election is America’s last chance.  And we know it too and that’s why Courageous Conservatives PAC is ready to make the hard-hitting ads Mitt Romney and the DC consultant class were afraid to air four years ago.”
 
Although the ad focuses on Rubio, Shaftan explained that they are targeting voters backing businessman Donald Trump and surgeon Ben Carson.  “Conservatives like Donald Trump’s bluntness and strong stands on the illegal alien invasion of our country.  And we also like Dr. Carson’s honesty and fresh approach.  But we also know no one is going to be elected president who has not won a statewide election or a World War and that over the next few weeks, many Trump and Carson supporters will begin to look at other candidates,” Shaftan said.  “We want them looking at Ted Cruz and not Marco Rubio.” 
 
“None of the other candidates are a factor nor do we expect them to be with limited cash and having failed to already connect to the public.  We expect Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal to be out soon and their votes are up for grabs,” Shaftan noted.  “Ted Cruz has the record that has earned their support.  Marco doesn’t.”
 
“Courageous Conservatives PAC isn’t affiliated with the Cruz campaign in any way and we can do our own messaging outside of the wimpy stuff the DC consultant class gave us in 2008 and 2012 which delivered eight long years of Barack Obama,” Shaftan said.  “That includes contrasts between Senator Cruz and his opponents that clearly define why Ted Cruz is the best candidate in the race on the issues.”
 
“We don’t really care what Marco Rubio’s FICO score is, and we wouldn’t talk about it under any circumstances,” Shaftan said.  “Our focus is issues, not personality.  And that’s why Republicans need to nominate someone with real substance, not someone who, as the ad says, “looks good on TV.”
 
One of the things that motivated forming this SuperPAC was the weak material being turned out by a SuperPAC linked to the campaign whose ads Shaftan described as “weak and incredibly boring.”
 
“Ted Cruz isn’t boring.  He’s the most dynamic candidate for president any of us have ever seen since Reagan, and our ads will capture that whether the folks in DC like it or not,” Shaftan added.  “They’re not going allow Ted Cruz to be marginalized as has happened to other conservatives, because Cruz is the one who’s going to marginalize them.  And we’re here to help.”
