.

The answer he gave would have included his views of his admin's actions.


The clip was raising the point about self-praise.

They should have used a clip that wasn't about Trump at all, and that no sane person would assume so.

Then, show how Trump redirects all questions back to himself, changing the focus back on how great he is.

Michael Bloomberg Sued in Class-Action Lawsuit Alleging Campaign Staffers Were Misled

Bloomberg told his campaign staff they would have a job through November, but recently laid them off, favoring to instead donate to the DNC.

Update 3/24/20: Since publication, Michael Bloomberg laid off field workers in all states, despite previously stating they would have jobs through November 2020. Last Friday, he transferred $18 million from his campaign to the Democratic National Committee, opting to support the existing organization rather than create his own PAC. This, however, came along with laying off all staffers. Now, Bloomberg is being sued in two class-action lawsuits, brought about by ex-staffers and field organizers. These suits argue that staffers accepted their jobs under false pretenses—employment and benefits through November 2020.

According to The New York Times, one of the complaints states that the campaign "deprived them of promised income and health care benefits, leaving them and their families potentially uninsured in the face of a global pandemic."

Despite promises of employment, employees all signed at-will contracts, meaning they could be terminated at any time. In response to the suits, the campaign issued a statement saying, "a fund is being created to ensure that all staff receive health care through April, something no other campaign has done."

The campaign invited all former employees to apply for a job with the D.N.C., but stated the hiring process would be competitive and the pay and benefits would be different.

Broken down by party and Independent leanings, of how people respond to this ad.

*WE* can say that it's a great ad, but if it doesn't pull in new or undecided voters, it's useless.

If that's the case, you can only hope that the ad would motivate people to campaign.

I would love to see an ad encouraging people to campaign for Biden.

EVERY network when he did his daily coronavirus Don & Mike shows. Those were our best ads, IMHO. And you saw approvals inch down. Guess it doesn't hurt to reenforce.

I think that the best ad they can do right now is to talk about how he doled out PPE, test kits, and ventilators based on favoritism, ego and whim. "Do you want THIS MAN doling out the vaccines?

Also, the shit he's done behind the scenes that never got air time. He reversed an Obama regulation that stopped coal companies from dumping sludge with proven cancer causing materials into our water! Negligent homicide. The ad writes itself...kids playing in water, over dubbed.

IOW, tell them something they DON'T know.

As for his sex crimes, had a couple trumpers tell me that they don't care what trump did before he was president. It's always been in the back of my mind. He's been there over 3 years. SURELY he's got something going on somewhere. And if it's something arranged at Mara Lago, he may have to risk something at WH?
