[VIDEO] Cruz ad attacks Donald Trump on eminent domain and campaign donations

This Ted Cruz video, which attacks Trump for donating to Democrat politicians and for using eminent domain for his own profit, has gotten high praise in some quarters, but I have to admit that it doesn’t work for me, for four reasons:

First, I don’t like using kids to sell products.  I find them fundamentally uninteresting.

Second, I had a hard time understanding at least half of what they said.

Third, in part because the kids were so unintelligible, I couldn’t figure out what point they were making with regard to eminent domain, which really is an Achilles’ heel for Trump — and I’m someone who stays abreast of political information.

Fourth, Trump’s has a good response on campaign donations, which is that he is an American businessman who’s played the game by greasing all the wheels, left and right.  You need a harder hitting commercial explaining just that point — why it may be good business, but it’s dishonest politics and damages America in profound ways over the long run.

Overall, I think the Cruz team has put out some great ads and done fine “rapid response” work.  This one isn’t the one for me, though.  What do you think?
