Pro-Clinton Super PAC: Cruz Hates Avocados, Allegedly Likes Nickelback

A new ad released by a Pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC Friday took aim at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for many of his proposed policies, but also his personality.

The ad, released by Priorities USA, is a response to a pro-Cruz ad in which an actor portraying Clinton aide Huma Abedin is seen in a war room desperately asking the question “how do we stop Ted Cruz?”

Priorities’ ad begins with that same clip, but then a “Star Wars”-style scroll takes over the screen, listing Cruz’s stances on Medicare, education and abortion rights, but also slams him for some questionable personality traits.

“College roommate said: ‘Ted Cruz is a nightmare of a human being,” the ad reads. “Would give big tax cuts to the rich. Hates Avocados. Listed ‘world domination’ as a life aspiration. Reportedly likes Nickelback.”

It ends the ad saying in the iconic Star Wars font: “We’ve Got This.”

  1. As of this moment, I am having difficulty watching the ad. I am getting only a blank black screen.

  2. Its working for me, so I am thinking it maybe on your side, or they fixed it?

  3. If the Cruz people honestly believe that the Clinton camp is cowering in fear at the prospect of stopping a Cruz candidacy, they’re just as delusional as the Trumpettes.

  4. How do you leave out, “Ruined Green Eggs and Ham for America”? Heh.

  5. Not many ads can manage to get across a hell of a lot of info, and make me laugh at the same time. Bravo!
