2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHas anyone seen the anti Hillary ad yet about outsourcing to India??
It was on a few times during MoJo today. It's a pretty effective ad against Hillary, IMO. And counters her message that she's for the little guys. We'll see if it takes roots. I hope not.

(19,460 posts)I would think you might be more concerned about Trump's outsourcing to 8 countries. By the way, the President can't outsource, companies do.

Companies don't need laws to outsource; they do it with or without the government trying to manage the process.

(3,040 posts)Need to bombard everyone with anti-Trump commercials that call out his hypocrisy, lies and how he is a bad person/businessman. Most people don't have the attention span/don't care what the news is and won't really remember much of what they read or watch. Impactfull commercials, on the other hand, tend to stick in the minds of the low information, non-politically aware voter.

Else You Are Mad
(3,040 posts)I read that they are stopping ad campaigns in some states because they believe that they already have won those states. I think that is a mistake. They need to dominate the airwaves in all 50 states with anti Trump ads. Hillary's win isn't guaranteed, and they cannot discount the angry white voters that never voted before in safe Democratic states.
Hillary and her PACs need to spend as much money on states that used to go to Dems but have a lot of unregistered white voters. Sure, New Jersey, California etc will go Dem, the middle states that go Dem are not assured this time. They need to pound the ads. Otherwise, we will lose.

Actually, why would we want to watch an anti-Hillary ad in the first place? There will be many of them, no doubt. What's the point?
ETA: Well, Sean Hannity is featuring it on his own website. That should be a clue, don't you think? So a Trump PAC is running parts of a speech Clinton made in 2005?
Here's my suggestion: Don't post it here. We don't need to see anti-Hillary ads on DU. They'll be on our TVs. Posting anti-Hillary ads probably won't sit well with a lot of DUers, I imagine.

(3,486 posts)I'm a major Hillary supporter, always have been since 2008, but I also like to be aware of what the opposition is throwing at her. Good bye.

(146,317 posts)So, you may well be what you say. However, my criticism of such posts still stands. There will be hundreds of anti-Hillary ads in the next months. New ones will be released almost daily. In response to your post, I searched for and viewed the one you mentioned. It was stupid, used way out-of-date information, and is irrelevant to this campaign.
There will be many more like it. As I also said, we'll be seeing them on our televisions. We won't need to see them or have them described here, as well.
Some posters will refer to such ads or even post them here. Many of those will also express "concern," even though they don't actually feel any real concern and are simply trying to promulgate anti-Hillary messages. And, I won't know who those DUers are, either, for the most part, any more than I know who you are.
It is my opinion that seeing every negative ad about Hillary Clinton is not necessary on DU. We know they exist. We will see many of them ourselves in our media viewing. That should be sufficient, I think.
You may well be genuinely concerned. That's fine. But, we're about to be inundated with false concern posts on DU right through the election.

(15,805 posts)There's no way to know the full context of the discussion, and it is deliberate misleading to fool the unwary. This is not an either/or scenario, and the "little guys" are in a totally different category, so don't be fooled or let yourself get conned. Look, our country has agreements with just about every country on earth, and like it or not, outsourcing is a legitimate, and legal activity -- thanks to our well bought congress -- that is important to almost every big company, especially to chumps like Trump and his billionaire buddies.
