NEW Rand Paul Ad: Where does Ted Cruz stand?

Glad to see indications that this campaign will be going full-bore after the main opponents in Iowa! Win it, Rand!
 
Here's the CNN interview of Rand calling out Cruz's flip-flops.
 
The "splat" sound isn't very good, but I'm glad the Rand campaign used something with Cruz's "malfunction" on live TV. This is good, this is more like Ron's ads last election cycle, and those were effective as hell.

Still don't know if this is the time to attack Cruz though.
 
Bad idea in my opinion. Cruz has a lot of Paul's supporters. Attacking him won't bring them over.
 
This is not bad for an attack ad, basically not trying to win anyone over but to spread FUD among Cruz supporters.

I'm still waiting though for an ad that taps into the voter outrage and I'm still not seeing it
 
I'm waiting for him to finish setting up the battles and talk about himself. The constant attacks are not saying hey this is why rand is good as gold. It's standard politician stuff and people see that.

Opening the debates with attacks obviously didn't help much.. They gave him first to speak and set the stage, I don't think it was seized on very well.

He needs to touch people's hearts and tap into freedom. Describe what America will look like with rand as president how it will affect their daily lives.

After he drops some positively for a few there is one ad that can be put together from 2 YouTube videos I saw that will put the hurts to hillary and trump.

Cruz doesn't have a lot of Paul supporters. Cruz has people who are sympathetic towards Paul because they think they are both for liberty. We are trying to win votes by opening people's eyes not by playing nice with our competition. Cruz is a fake and has always been one. Chances are if folks are supporting Cruz based on the garbage he's been saying lately then they are not coming over to the Paul camp anytime soon.

Yes, the so-called conservatives will never come over to Rand; the good thing is that most do not vote anyway.
 
I dont like seeing him attack everybody, esp Cruz. He needs more positive ads imo

Or the Rand campaign can simply "hope" that they'll win. Just like many on RPF who don't want to earn results, just want to hope hope and hope some more for a great outcome.


It just seems like these strategies goes above everyone's heads. For Rand, whatever he wants to go on the media to talk about, he needs an ad to generate the need for him to go on. They'll take notice and then he'll go on to compare and contrast himself with Cruz just like he made the video about Rubio missing and so on and so forth.

Its just a tactic to get more air time. Rand has done plenty of positive videos, the media doesn't care and the voters don't care.
 
What a terrible ad....nowhere near as good as Ron's during the 2012 cycle.

It was boring. R voters right now don't care about consistency, Donald was a flaming liberal 2 years ago but he has support and keeps it because he is seen as fighting the hardest against the establishment. Cruz is in second place and I doubt anyone could say with a straight face that he isn't seen as the second most anti-establishment candidate.

This will not win him any votes or supporters.
 
I suppose this is a web ad because it's so long? I don't see how attacking Cruz will work any better for Rand than attacking Trump did. It just makes him look like he's part of the establishment. It also seems to be factually incorrect as I don't believe that Ted Cruz ever claimed to support repealing the Patriot Act.

I cannot tell you how much I agree.

A web ad for sure.
