It pisses me off, though. It's more of the same. They don't care until it hurts them personally. Before he was elected, it was knowable that he was a bad person. The Access Hollywood tape was seen by pretty much everyone, so if that's all they saw, they could have known he has no respect for women, or for the "sanctity of marriage" they claim to care so much about. Remember "I moved on her like a bitch, she was married"?

They could have easily known he was on his 3rd marriage and he cheated on the other two.

They could have easily known he said "he likes war heroes that weren't captured"

They could have easily known that he called Mexicans rapists and he wanted to build a wall (Reagan said to "tear down that wall"

They could have easily known that he was calling for his political opponent to be "locked up" at rallies

They could have easily known he encouraged violence by saying he'd pay for the legal bills

This was played on their "news", so they saw it, and STILL said "This is my guy! He should be President of the United States"

So forgive me for not having any sympathy for her cost of life-saving medications. Honestly, I'd give her medicines to migrants on the border and let her do without. She did this to herself

This ad isn't trying to garner sympathy. It's speaking to people like this woman who are now waking up to who Trump and the republicans truly are. Trump voters can only identify with people just like them. Show them how people like them are negatively affected by this disaster of an administration and maybe wake a few up. I don't feel sympathy for them either but wanting them to suffer is pointless and rather Trumplike. This ad aims directly at the people who have been hurt by their own naivete. Do we want to make them feel bad or do we want to change their minds?

Going after their Social Security? That should scare them all the way to the polls
