As we have discussed in the past; it only butthurts Rafael's supporters because so many of them are/were birthers. And its a hypocrisy they would much rather hide in the closet.

In addition, Cruz probably does not have any memory of living in Canada, so he does not understand the culture and custom of living there

No. It's not. It's his frikken SUPERPAC. SuperPACS are supposed to be the holy grail in a Republic that restricts individual donations. Yet, somehow campaign apologists like Teh Collinz will call grassroots efforts infantile and destructive to the official campaign. L.M.A.O.

Trust me I'm as calm as can be here. I don't think I could overreact if I wanted to at the moment.
I just think the ad is dumb and also throws an unnecessary jab at Ted Cruz that will make some Cruz supporters upset.
Just an opinion. Not an overreaction.
edit: This is me right now:

The thing is, the ad is so repulsive to older people that it is unlikely to get very much exposure to that demographic. They'll tune out immediately and won't share it. On the other hand, young people will share it with their young friends because of how stupid it is. So if the goal was to get exposure to young people, I think it will have succeeded. Already 32,000 views after less than 24 hours is actually quite impressive for a PAC ad. It's like it's trying so hard to be viral that it actually is. What the net effect of that exposure will be though, who knows. It's a really messed up ad. Maybe the message of the ad is 'hey young people, here's something stupid, now wake the F up and look at Rand Paul'

Ok, I agree with you
On another note if this pissed of the Cruz camp, how many voters does Rand need to win

More than Ron got. Or maybe not depends on how split the field is.

Youngest nephew actually sent it to me.
"Hahaha that is some sick shit!"
He didn't vote in the last two elections. He's stoning out in Colorado. Don't expect him to make it to the primary polls this go around. Don't expect him to send a dime to the campaign. Don't expect him to tune in Sunday.

Could this ad be Rand Paul's "Howard Dean" moment?
This actually makes me ashamed to be a supporter. I feel embarassed watching it.
Jesse Benton does not have the experience, the demeanor, or even the maturity one would expect from the leader of a large organization. It's like sticking a little league pitcher in a big league game. He's just out of place, an obstuction in the organization. All workflow is intentionally diverted around him to avoid his clumsy touch. Like a boulder sitting in the middle of a stream.
The first rule of business, is you never hire your family. The chances that the best possible person for the job just happens to also be your family member is about 1000 to 1. Keep in mind, Benton didn't get to his position because of his qualifications, he got there out of nepotism. And the movement has had a heck of a time trying to get rid of him. He's digging in his fingernails, clinging to us like a tick on a wolfs back. We need to shake him off.
Keeping Benton away from the campaign was a great move by Rand. Political campaigns are more than just a test of political persuasion, it's also a test to see which candidate has the chops to successfully lead an organization and hire the right people for the job. This is where Ron failed, and Rand is succeeding. But letting Benton head the SuperPac? Foolish. Like when I was a kid, my mom would tell me to pick up my clothes, so I just shoved them all under the bed. I didn't solve the problem, I just tried to conceal it.
Sometimes you have to be the bad guy. If someone is overpromoted, you need to cut them down to size. If someone is repeatedly screwing up, you need to let him go. Because in the end, it's not about him, it's about the final product you are presenting to the consumer. It's about the jobs of everyone else in the company that are at risk because of the bumbling manager.

Why are there so many people here who are so negative about Rand? Seems like there are more Cruz supporters than Rand supporters here. Go over to The Right Scoop, they will like you over there. BTW, most Cruz supporters do not like Rand Paul and will never vote for him because they are "Christian Hawks" who love killing other people.
