[h=1]Anti-Trump Super PAC Releases Brutal New Ad on His History of Liberal Positions[/h]by Josh Feldman | 11:50 am, January 23rd, 2016

A newly-launched anti-Donald Trump Super PAC put out a pretty blistering ad this week going through Trump’s entire history of backing more liberal positions.
Our Principles PAC was founded by a top Romney 2012 campaign official, and all she told Politico was, “Our Principles PAC has focused on conservative principles and ensuring that voters have the necessary information to make a wise decision on Election Day.”

The ad goes through a whole litany of liberal statements from Trump, including on the 2016 campaign trail, and how he has effusively praised Hillary Clinton and President Obama plenty of times. A lot of these clips are already familiar to people, but putting them all together like that really packs a punch.


The ad is titled “The Trump Tapes: Vol. 1,” which presumably means there’s more on the way.

With less than two weeks until the Iowa caucuses, a new super PAC has formed with the intention of taking down Donald Trump.
The group, which is called Our Principles PAC, is founded by Katie Packer, a veteran Republican strategist who served as deputy campaign manager on Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.


This week, the group sent out mailers to Iowa voters attacking Trump, who polls show is in a tight battle with Ted Cruz in the state, where caucuses are to be held on Feb. 1. In a filing with the Federal Election Commission, the group has reported spending nearly $45,000 on mailers.


Additionally, the super PAC has reserved more than $3,000 in spending on Iowa radio stations, according to a media buying source.
Packer has spent months in talks with Republican donors and operatives to gauge financial interest in an anti-Trump campaign.
In a brief interview on Thursday, Packer wouldn’t comment on the group’s plans other than to say: “Our Principles PAC has focused on conservative principles and ensuring that voters have the necessary information to make a wise decision on Election Day."
Packer declined to say whether she had spoken with Romney about the group. The 2012 GOP nominee has been privately expressing worry to former aides about Trump’s ongoing lead in the primary.


Another former Romney aide, Alex Castellanos, has also been pitching Republican donors on a prospective anti-Trump effort but it has yet to materialize.


With the start of primary voting just days away, much of the talk in establishment GOP circles about mounting a sustained anti-Trump campaign has dissipated. Castellanos, a veteran GOP ad man, recently said that it was “too late” for those concerned about Trump to begin a media campaign against him.


Many in the party’s establishment wing are convinced that a Trump nomination would damage the GOP’s prospects for winning the White House and imperil Republican candidates up and down the ballot. Some share similar concerns about Cruz, who is also waging an insurgent-style campaign.

Great ad, but will the illiterate savages who constitute his base care about these or any other facts?

I seriously doubt it.

They should buy Jebra's Super Bowl ad slot and run this.

 

[economics102]

Trump is proving that it's all about identity politics. An ad like this should instantly end his campaign, but instead I doubt anyone will care.

[thatpeculiarcat]

Absolutely phenomenal. The pro-choice and Iowa comment will kill him if they air this in Iowa.

 

[puppetmaster]

How can they use this style ad for a pro paul ad??.....there has to be a way to get our message out like this plain and simple and no double speak.

 

[Mike4Freedom]

This is a fantastic ad. If this was airing all over IA and NH it would be a game changer. I would love to see a trumpanzee defend this. A lot of them probably would, but it would be amusing to see it.

If Trump falls, doesn't that just help Cruz?

Great ad, but will the illiterate savages who constitute his base care about these or any other facts?

No, of course not, but there is still value in establishing a historical record proving after the fact that they were fools.

Exactly

As much as Trump has been hitting Cruz lately, less so than you might think. These people are dumb but they are prideful. They are not going to be able to switch gears from hating Cruz on Wednesday to voting for him on Thursday.

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

In case anyone was wondering, the tax Donald Trump was touting as the largest tax in history was a wealth confiscation tax. Not an income tax, but the government straight up taking 35% of your wealth and claiming it as its own.

I don't think Bernie Sanders said anything so stupid when he was an out and out socialist in the 1970s.

 

[SilentBull]

Will they be creating shorter versions to air on TV? Why hasn't anyone aired stuff like this on TV yet? There's one week left before the caucus. It's insane. Is no one going to create a 30 second TV ad showing Trump saying he's pro choice and being for partial birth abortion?
