...however, ads for other candidates are relevant as newsworthy items; if this is Trump's new message, we need to be aware of it to respond.

This ad also tells me he may be willing to spend more seriously on advertising, which is worth being prepared for.

What I notice in his ads are a heavy reliance on stock footage.

This ad shows how solidly the stock footage community is behind Trump. He is supported by:

White family posing for portrait outside home;

African American family in park;

Asian woman with daughters;

African American woman running restaurant; and

Man in factory making steel conduit.

The endorsement of man in factory making pipe is a tough one to get.

These are really cheaply made.

It is allowed to post RW talking points and examples and propaganda provided it is analyzed and presented in an educational way (knowing what the enemy is doing).

This was properly labeled and has a tiny bit of analysis but not much.

Don't peddle right-wing talking points, smears, or sources
Do not post right-wing talking points or smears. Do not post content sourced from right-wing publications, authors, or pundits. Exceptions are permitted if you provide a clear reason for doing so that is consistent with the values of this website.

Why we have this rule: News media and the Internet are already awash with conservative propagandists attacking our candidates and our values -- we're not interested in providing them with another outlet. We understand that many of our members might hold some conservative viewpoints on isolated issues, but nobody here should be parroting hateful garbage from the RNC, the NRA, or the Family Research Council. Forum members should expect that the only time they'll have to read a right-wing smear or an article from Breitbart is when someone is pointing and laughing at it.
