Paul attacks Cruz over the Fed and Goldman Sachs

By David Weigel

In the wake of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.)'s attack on Donald Trump for "New York values," two of his underdog rivals are now attacking him for ties to Wall Street. In an interview with Time magazine's Zeke Miller, Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.) called Cruz hypocritical for bashing the financial capital of the world while building a war chest with hedge fund money.

"Those people have great values, I’m sure, when they are writing him seven- and eight-figure checks," Christie said. "If he really has a problem with New York values, then he should return that money."

And Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who endorsed Cruz when the Texan ran for his Senate seat, has unveiled one of the campaign's strangest web ads, in which two cartoon figures learn that "the Ted Cruz" is indebted to Wall Street. The video anchors a new micro-site, Audit The Ted, which ostensibly criticizes Cruz for missing a pre-State of the Union vote on Paul's legislation to scrutinize the Federal Reserve.

In animation that resembles the defunct text-to-cartoon site Xtranormal, the new Paul spot begins with a male figure asking "Where does the Ted Cruz get his money?", pronouncing the senator's name with a long "u" sound, as if it rhymes with "fuzz."

I couldn't stick through it, the computer generated voices and slow speed was just too painful to keep playing past 1/3rd of the way.
 
After watching this a few more times, I like it much more. Pretty funny way to get this jab in. Love the way they transition from audit the fed to audit the ted lol This isn't an ad made for older folks, this is a young adult focused ad. Like it.
 
lol this is genius in some ways.. very unorthodox.. love it.
 
Did you guys catch at the end when she said "I like this Rand Paul. and his hair."

I sprayed my screen with coffee. It's so refreshing to have a candidate and team with personality.
 
Lol yes the hair part made me laugh.. Very interesting.. This will play well with the social media savvy people. The more I watch it, the more I like it.. Made me pause and want to re-watch it/learn more.
 
yes #memethehair

I want a web ad with all the empty heads talking, just hair pieces saying crazy shit like shoot down Russian planes or bomb assad or make the sand glow. then you see one head that isn't empty that is different then the rest with curly hair and it has a different message a message loud that doesn't mince words
 
"Does the Goldman Sachs want to audit the Fed?"

"I don't think so. They are the Fed."

Perf.
 
Waiting for the armchair campaign quarterbacks to come in and say how this ad isn't high quality. lol
