A newly released ad by the Ted Cruz campaign uses a Donald Trump action figure to effectively mocked the recent New Hampshire primary winner.
The ad shows some boys playing with the action figure. When one of the boys tells his friends he has the new Donald Trump action figure, one boy hilariously responds, “No way, that’s huuuuge.”
“What’s he do?” one of the boys asks.
The other responds, “He pretends to be a Republican!”
Towards the end, the boys are seen smashing a house while shouting ’eminent domain.’

Serious policy or personality-based attacks against Trump have not worked.
Will mockery?
Last year, a company in Connecticut actually did release a real Trump action figure. The doll came dressed to impress in a tux, had a removable toupee, and used catch phrases like “I’m really rich” and “You’re fired.”
