The ad will air during Saturday Night Live the week before the South Carolina primary.
The timing is very interesting. What motivates Cruz? I'm sure HRC boosters would argue Cruz attacks Clinton because he would rather run against Bernie in the general. But I suggest that Cruz understands that a well-timed, nationally televised attack of Hillary will boost his standing among the masses of voraciously rabid GOP Clinton-haters and motivate them, boosting turnout to the South Carolina polls to vote for him and not his Republican opponents.
And if this works in So. Carolina, we can expect the other GOP candidates to follow suit in subsequent primaries by outdoing each other in attacks on Hillary Clinton. We Sanders supporters have been warning that HRC as the primary candidate will depress voter turnout of younger voters, progressives and independents, and boost turnout of the accurately named Clinton-haters in the GOP. This move by Cruz will test that hypothesis.
The video of the ad and lyrics are available at the link.

LYRICS
Damn it feels good to be a Clinton.
A shameless politician plays her cards right.
Got a crew for the fights on the airwaves.
Lap dogs in the press keep their mouths tight.
Cause a Clinton never needs to explain what.
Why it is what theyve done or with who.
A real Clinton knows theyre entitled.
You dont get to know what they do.
What difference does it make for a Clinton.
Whats loaded in some fat oppo file.
A Clinton plays the victim for promotion.
A Clinton kills it off with a smile.
Damn it feels good to be a Clinton.
A server full of secrets aint no thing.
Damn it feels good to be a Clinton.
Nothing ever hits with a sting.

(15,480 posts)so left out the lyrics, but I think it's quite valid to post them - actually it's a favor to Clinton supporters - forewarned is forearmed, and if they are, as they frequently preach at us, "reality-based", they have to face up to the real level of hatred, and the nationwide attacks via media with which they'll be dealing if HRC is the party nominee in the general election.
