Ted Cruz "Slut-Shames" Trump’s Wife



A New Low for Cruz

  • Personally I want a hot First Lady instead of the butt ugly evil harpies who have held that position.
  • But here we have a new low. A committee supporting whack-job Bible Thumper Ted Cruz attacks Trump's wife for daring to have a career as a model.


(Vox News)  -  An anti-Donald Trump Super PAC is running ads to try to convince Mormons not to vote for Trump — by slut-shaming his wife, Melania.

But Cruz wasn't actually responsible for the ad. BuzzFeed News reports that Make America Awesome, founded by Republican strategist Liz Mair for the purpose of "blocking and reversing Donald Trump's political ascent," released the ad to try to increase turnout among members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ahead of the Utah primary on Tuesday.
Most LDS voters are Republican, but they strongly dislike Trump for his crude behavior and his hard-line stances against immigration and Muslim religious freedom.

Make America Awesome is trying to convince Mormons to vote for Ted Cruz instead, using three ads. One features Mitt Romney urging voters to support the Republican who can beat Trump in their state. Another highlights Trump's history of pro-choice views (which he now says he has "evolved" away from).
The third ad, however, features Melania Trump posing nude and mocks the idea that she could be the first lady one day. The photo comes from a shoot Melania did for British GQ in 2000.
Melania Trump studied architecture and design at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia before becoming a successful fashion model. She speaks five languages fluently and has her own jewelry and cosmetics lines. Barbara Walters, after interviewing her, said, "Maybe because she's so beautiful, we don't expect her to be as smart as she is."
But people who see this ad might not know any of that, and might be inclined to judge Melania Trump negatively because of how she's portrayed. The ad plays on unfortunate stereotypes about women who pose nude or are open about their sexuality: that they're vapid, can't be trusted, and shouldn't be respected. It attacks Trump not by attacking him directly, but by impugning the character of the woman he decided to marry.
And sadly, it's a tactic that might appeal to some socially conservative voters.

Trump is for REAL. He is not a phony creation of corrupt media consultants and focus groups.

I have no objections about Mrs. Trump. Heck, my fiancee used to model, including swimsuit modeling. She's a keeper! - A.

Armand, more important I can't stand the Bible Thumpers claiming that Mormon Angels and God Himself wants Ted Cruz. These people are fucking loons.
