The Ted Cruz campaign is out with a new attack ad imagining Hillary Clinton and her inner circle sizing up her Republican competition and fretting over how they will ever stop Cruz. The ad is set in what appears to be Clinton’s war room, where her inner circle—fictional Huma Abedin, John Podesta and Robby Mook—discuss Donald Trump’s high disapproval ratings and penchant for inflammatory comments. “The point is, if Trump becomes the Republican nominee, the White House is yours,” the staffers tell a fake Clinton. But things get dramatic when fake Abedin asks, “What do you mean ‘if’?”
Ted Cruz is the only candidate who can beat Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Pay no attention to the fact that Ted Cruz keeps losing to Donald Trump and that, post-NY primary, Cruz has been mathematically eliminated from winning the nomination by, you know, winning the necessary number of delegates. And never mind that polls show Hillary beating Cruz in a general election matchup.
I’d love to see a video from the non-fictional Clinton war room when the non-fictional Huma played Cruz’s new ad for the non-fictional Hillary. Bet it looked something like this…
And back in reality, Hillary loses handily to both Trump and Cruz due to the Bernie supporters she has gone out of her way to denigrate and alienate, and the huge number of independents who find her repugnant and would never vote for her under any circumstances. She absolutely must have the support of the young, the independents, and the 49% of the Democratic party who support Sanders or else she loses the general election. Good luck getting Republicans to vote for you, Hillary!
