Cruz for President

"Great" +

:30 ad announced April 15, 2016, run in New York.


Ted Cruz: I’m Ted Cruz, and I approve this message.

[Music]

Trump (audio clips):  I think he’s a smart guy that knows what’s going on and I think he’s not going to want to destroy New York.

He’ll end up being a good mayor, maybe a very good mayor.  I think he’s going to want to make New York great.


Notes:  A few days earlier the Cruz campaign launched a radio ad attacking New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.  Now they have come up with this ad that seeks to link Trump and de Blasio.  One big problem with the ad is that Trump's statements are from before de Blasio had even been elected; if Trump had made more recent statements praising de Blasio, the ad might be more effective.

From the April 15 press release....

HOUSTON, Texas – Today, the Cruz for President campaign launched a new television ad, “Great,” that will air statewide in New York. The ad showcases statements made by Donald Trump highlighting his optimism that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is going to want to make New York great again and that he will end up being a very good mayor.
