Ted Cruz for President Begins Running Ads In Iowa
Highlighting Cruz leading the fight for Conservative principles
HOUSTON, Texas – Cruz for President today released three ads, two TV ads “Fight” and “Debate” and a radio ad “Damage” that will run statewide in Iowa over the next three weeks. These spots highlight Cruz's record of consistently standing up and leading the fight for conservative principles.
Both TV spots feature Cruz’s best moments from the Republican debates. The first 30-second spot “Fight” shows Cruz in one of the debates talking about his record challenging both Democrats and Republicans in Washington and leading the fight on issues conservatives care about. The second TV spot, "Debate," is a 60-second ad where Cruz takes on the media at the Republican debate in Boulder, Colorado. At the end of the ad he demonstrates a strong foreign policy vision declaring, “Enemies across this world will know the United States is not to be trifled with.”
The 60-second radio spot, “Damage,” features Rush Limbaugh who said on his radio show, "If you're looking for the Republican candidate who is the most steadfastly opposed to liberalism …Whose agenda is oriented toward defeating it…it's Ted Cruz.” The ad also takes on Hillary Clinton directly as the embodiment of "the cronyism of Washington”.

:60 TV “Debate”
VO: Finally someone had the guts to tell it like it is.
CRUZ: “The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don’t trust the mainstream media.
“This is not a cage match.
“You look at the questions: Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain? Ben Carson, can you do math? John Kasich, will you insult two people over here? Marco Rubio, why don’t you resign? Jeb Bush, why have your numbers fallen?
“How about talking about the substantive issues people care about?”
VO: The media can’t silence him. Washington can’t break him.
Because everyone knows exactly where he stands.
CRUZ: “If I’m elected president…
“Enemies across this world will know the United States is not to be trifled with.
“We’ll kill the terrorists, we’ll repeal ObamaCare, and we will defend the Constitution – every single word of it.”

:60 Radio “Damage”
VO: Over 8 years, Obama fundamentally transformed America.
He’s handpicked Hillary to uphold his liberal legacy.
And she will – unless someone can stop them.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: "If you're looking for the Republican candidate who is the most steadfastly opposed to liberalism...
“…Whose agenda is oriented toward defeating it…it's Ted Cruz."
VO: Rush is right: It’s Ted Cruz.
Cruz defended the Constitution, and held Republicans and Democrats accountable for allowing Obama’s executive amnesty.
He led the charge against ObamaCare, taking on politicians who give perks to themselves on the taxpayers’ dime.
CRUZ: "Hillary Clinton embodies the cronyism of Washington, and I'll give you an example of that, which is the congressional exemption from ObamaCare, which is fundamentally wrong. If I'm elected president I will veto any statute that exempts members of Congress. The law should apply evenly to every American."
VO: Ted Cruz for President.
CRUZ: I’m Ted Cruz and I approved this message.
VO: Paid for by Cruz for President
