2. Wow. Jeb Bush actually made me laugh. Unironically.

"He's....um.....he needs therapy."

When Jeb Bush--a man I utterly detested as governor of my state and member of a truly awful political family dynasty--can actually make me chuckle and smile, you know what's being discussed is universally horrific to all humanity.

Well, actually I do miss Jeb's Campaign of Sadness, which was epic in the karma smackdown that Jeb was deserving.




Sad though how he does seem reasonable compared to the Trump show. He was quite the nasty specimen as governor, though. Could have given Trump a run for his nastiness.

Wow. I'd not heard that one before.

But you're right, the Trump supporters seem to gobble up his vile utterences with relish.

16. Nobody is going to try and target Trump supporters (true believers)

1) Too small a demographic to bother with

2) KKK-loving, xenophobic, climate-denying, isolationist, anti-choice, flat-Earth Republican knuckle-dragging assholes that vote for him were NEVER going to vote for any Democrat anyway.

That's not the audience.

It will be as easy to do. And..I don't want to hear another word about Hill being attacked by both Bernie and Trump. This kind of thing only makes her job harder, but good luck with that. I'm not saying don't make an ad but using other people's insults against a candidate looks more like a personal attack.

9. All the clinton campaign has to do is pair evvery attack on Clinton with an identical one...

... that Trump made on a fellow Republican. Or with some of his inimitable gobbledygook and mugging.

7. The Donald has given negative advertizers almost unlimited material to work with.

It's so easy! I'm going to enjoy this. The Republican Party provided so many negative sound clips we won't need to involve any Democrats at all.

10. Too many big words for Trump's base

Trump's base are the people who think Obama is a Muslim. Depending on the survey, that is 43 to 54% of Republicans and 29% of independents.

http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/nov/23/arsalan-iftikhar/do-59-percent-americans-believe-barack-obama-musli/

This may work for the anti-Trump Republicans and undecided voters though.

smart targeting across multiple markets - it's going to be a thing of beauty.
