RALEIGH, NC—In what many political observers are calling a new low in an election season that has already seen its share of negative campaigning, a scathing anti–Ted Cruz attack ad airing this week reportedly shows nothing more than a still photograph of the Texas senator’s face for 30 seconds, unaccompanied by any text, voiceover, or music.

The pointed TV spot—which continues on in complete silence and does not pan across or zoom in on the candidate’s face, but merely holds steady on the image for half a minute before fading to black—is said to be running in several states with upcoming primaries and is paid for by a super PAC opposed to Cruz’s presidential bid.

“This is an extremely vicious jab at Ted Cruz, and one that succeeds in painting the candidate in a most unfavorable light,” said Douglas Reisenthaler, a senior analyst with Public Policy Polling, who described the ad as by far the most unrelenting and hostile attack to air since the 2016 election cycle began. “Inevitably, some voters will be turned off by the maliciousness of showing an unretouched headshot of Ted Cruz on television screens across America, but it has nonetheless proved very effective in turning public opinion against his candidacy.”

He added, “Everywhere this ad has aired, Cruz’s numbers have gone into complete free-fall.”

2. Pretty good Onion! His face is not a bit attractive but...

an even more revolting one would be "Ted" dressed only in his paisley bathrobe. Nothing on underneath.
According to his college roommate, old Ted would troll the dorm halls in his butt-ugly bathrobe totally CREEPING out the women that resided down the hall from the men.
The women asked his roommate if he could DO something, anything, to stop Ted's trolling and stalking them.
Gawd, can you just imagine? Shudder. Vomit-inducing indeed.
This guy takes "creep" to a whole new level.
