Any thoughts on how brutal the ads against Trump will be and what kind of damage they will do?

There are so many folks who live in a box and have no idea all the crap he has pulled. The damaging material Dems have on him is endless! Hopefully at least it will suppress the Trump vote a bit? Get some people to stay home?

... and that Americans can defeat him and his Russian allies.

Then get into his hurtful policies on taxes and healthcare

Known her for years - wife of an old, deceased (Republican) friend

She hated Obama.

She thinks Trump is doing a great job - especially with the economy.

She agreed that Trump was not the greatest but felt he is a lot better than Hillary would have been.

No ads will jackhammer through that ignorance. I didn't even try.

I suspect a significant portion of Trump's base is like her.

If the economy goes down, Trump is toast. They'll turn on him.

With many of them watching FOX propaganda and reading conservative news, they will be hard to reach.

But only a small percentage of them have to shift in battleground states to take out Trump ...

Hopefully, the ads can reach enough of those people.

It was Hillary's fault- her emails. Those damn immigrants invading from Mexico. Something else- maybe Halley's Comet, but they will never blame their sacred anointed leader.

So you can write of maybe 30% of this country as being unreachable. That still gives you a number of open minded Republicans along with the independents. It doesn't sound like much, but 15% of the country- additional- is actually a big number and would sway the battle.

They just need to show the need for, and the way to, a moral economy and a government that works for the people.
