Tried watching it on a phone or in an office environment?
You are dreaming; most Cruz supporters hate Rand and will never support him. They are the very same people who attacked Obama for not being eligible because of citizenship issues and just ignore Cruz's same issues. They are hypocrites, not very smart, and do not vote. So stop worrying about them. They are not worried at all about your vote.
Some people just freak out over everything, same thing with Ron. This isn't the first and it certainly won't be the last.
There are lots of Cruz supporters that don't post at TheRightScoop. The people you're referring to are a small fraction of TC supporters. The average voter isn't fanatical at all for primary candidate, they go back and forth and change their support.

So you believe the best strategy is only to engage the faithful. I know Cruz supporters that second choice would be Rand.

The correct course of action is just to send money and to STFU? Been there. Done that. No thanks. Clear reasoned thinking requires critique.

a detailed analysis and assessment of something, especially a literary, philosophical, or political theory.

I know mega-boatloads of Cruz supporters for whom Rand is a strong second choice.

squirl22 is just another of the many sock puppets that popped up today. But responding to it's bullshit does set the issue straight. +rep.

Just showed it to the little woman (a marketing professional). She laughed at it. After it was over, I asked what the message was. She said it's about something on Sunday happening with Rand, nothing else memorable. She thought it was eye-catching and great if it's grassroots, not so great if anyone spent money on it.
Did anybody really expect better from Benton??? A big part of his "job" is to take down Rand (and the Pauls as a presidential political force) from the inside. If people haven't figured that out yet then they haven't been paying enough attention to the details.

Probably not the best idea to be "negative" about Cruz directly, even though he has thrown a few barbs at Rand in the past. He is often on the same side. It might be more helpful just to point out positions that Cruz has been taking that are not popular with most of his supporters, such as supporting TPA/TPP, and supporting increased immigration. That is news to a lot of his supporters, except the ones in the media, who do their best to cover up when Cruz takes a position they know will be unpopular.
Nope, but I can't even tell you how many times people have declared that Rand's presidential chances are over or something similar to that. There's rational/reasoned criticism and then there's overreaction/irrational criticism.

For all those who think this ad is somehow "harmful" ... I would like to see your polling data on how the average voter reacts to the ad... tell us please how many people you polled to know that the ad was a disaster....
Oh, and nevermind the fact that almost no voters will actually ever see it
