(3,975 posts)Not effective for the gazillions these apparently cost. Will not convince any of his "fans" of anything. We know this already. Make an ad like the Baryschnikov one, with a theme. Personal. An admired citizen. In this ad the Rs will see their tribe members dishing Trump and yell at them, not Trump. Waste of money. Like the Romney dog on the top of the car one last time around. We got bigger fish to fry here. Fuck the dogs and the taxes.

(93,863 posts)It's the undecided moderate voters torn between "I always vote Republican" and "Trump really bothers me". The goal is to keep damaging his image, so that when the positive spots start running in the Fall, they'll pick up enough marginal voters to finish the job.

(23,003 posts)I think his taxes are absolutely not inconsequential. I bet they show dodgy tax avoidance schemes, little/no charity and lots of income from Russia. It's the Russia part he's really afraid of us seeing, that would shake even his folks because they don't like those commies one bit. If his taxes show that, the game is over, he has lost and wouldn't be able to recover. That's why he will never release them. Wish some hacker would! This is important, the vileness needs to be exposed for everyone to see.

(62,265 posts)Romney came around and released his and still lost. Trump won't because he's buddy buddy with Russian financiers.

(3,489 posts)I've been disappointed with the Clinton ads so far. So much material to crush him with, and the Clinton campaign uses a feather. I see better ad suggestions here than I've seen from the campaign. Get with, Clinton Campaign.

(2,108 posts)I think it's the understated plain truths that make you stop and listen.
I think the ads are very well done. People are sick of the beat em up campaign ads, especially in the last 80 days.
I think the tone of her ad campaign is smart and spot on.

(1,907 posts)Especially in Utah with Mittens in there. From what I heard they already have a list of ads to be released between now and elections. This is mainly to fill a slot. Fast and to the point. Also fits in the recent narrative.
vlyons
(10,252 posts)where people told their stories of losing their jobs because Romney shipped their factory overseas. I want to see lots of ads with plumbers, painters, waiters, chefs, contractors etc talking about how Trump cheated them. More ads about how Trump wrote pay checks that bounced. More ads about Trump Univ being a scam. Those kinds of ads really hit home. Trump - - master scam artist and big time cheater.

(811 posts)While I've been favorably impressed with the Clinton campaign's ads thus far, the point I think will have the most traction with disaffected whites Trump is attempting to win over would be the stories of working people and contractors who he has cheated out of their fair wages, and the scams he pulled at Trump U.
I'm sure we will see these as November approaches.

(3,489 posts)These are the types of ads I mean. When will the Clinton Campaign see the light on this?

(2,108 posts)What a quality team the Clinton campaign has going there. Real quality.
Well done.
