George Conway group releases first anti-Trump ad aimed at evangelicals

An anti-President Trump conservative group that includes George Conway, who is the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and a frequent critic of President Trump, has released its first advertisement aimed at evangelicals who back the president.

The Lincoln Project’s first advertisement takes aim at “The MAGA Church” by splicing clips of the president and his supporters speaking about faith with clips of Trump cursing and speaking crudely.

Great idea, but not effectively done. Too much of the dumb evangelicals presented at Karadeniz Jan 2020 #12
Too subtle for them. n/t Crunchy Frog Jan 2020 #13

No, make that atrocious editing. The worst part is that gospel music making it hard to hear the quotes. What a mishmash of epic proportions.

Way too loud and makes it difficult to hear what the people are saying. I can see what they're trying to do, but it's done poorly.

Luckily, it's nothing Democrats have to defend. Let the evangelicals get all pissed off at someone else for a change.

George Conway is trying to be too clever, and missing the mark by a wide margin.

But, it's his money (or, I hope it's not my money) being wasted here.

Face value. DNC or some group should do a better one.
