... the best ad would point out what a crappy comedian he is and anyone who still thinks he's entertainingly disruptive is no longer "cool." But it has to be done just right. Trump has mastered the art of the lazy, half baked entertainer. His amateurism is his trademark.

A series of shots of everyday Americans (saying they no longer find his act entertaining) needs to be 100% of the video. EVERY image of the devil just makes him more powerful. But everyday Americans would bring people's attention back to what matter (i.e. the country, not Trump).

I find his appearance totally repulsive and getting worse all the time. What on earth does he see in the mirror or on television?

Yes, I adore Carly Simon!
