The Pro-Trump TV Ads Are Not Good

[stopbush]

Really lame shit.

They recycle the RW wet dream lies about Hillary. Can't see them influencing anyone to vote for Trump.

The NRA-funded ads are particularly ineffective.

[Stallion]

1. They Don't Look Professional Either

like something you would see on local access TV

[Lisa0825]

4. That was exactly what I told a friend today! LOL nt

[TeamPooka]

11. Exactly what I would expect from Trump. Also the people who made them will not collect

any balance of money due to them. Trumps don't pay balances due
Hope they got the cash up front.

[Orcrist]

2. I agree

I thought the same thing. They are not very good. None of them I have seen so far looked like anything that would convince an undecided voter to go for Trump.

[chillfactor]

3. typical trump crapola....

the Clinton team really has very effective ads out there.

[Cha]

8. So effective trump wants to sue for being too "nasty".. probably

his own words. lol

[Maru Kitteh]

12. "Your honor, she was very mean to me, and everybody said she was"

And I didn't want to sue her, but all the experts were telling me - "Mr. Trump, we're sorry, but you have to sue her, because she was very mean, and she said these things and that, and it's no good for America."

It's no good. Very sad.

[Cha]

16. trump needs a pacifier attached to his big dumb mouth..

[Dawson Leery]

5. Typical lame shit for his millions of deplorable follows.

[rebecca_herman]

6. I saw one about his "childcare plan"

On a NYC station. Don't understand why he would spend money there, but hey, if he wants to waste money on a state he can't win....

[white_wolf]

9. I assume he thinks his home state will break for him.

From what I've heard New Yorkers, especially those in NYC, despised Trump even before he got involved in politics.

[Wounded Bear]

15. New Yorkers have put up with him for 50 years...

they know him, and that's never a good thing.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. Message aside

Hillary's have been very well made and very emotionally powerful. The production values in Trump's look amateur and cheap, and they are simply not very emotionally effective. Amateur hour in that campaign. No doubt Trump is making money of their cheap production.

14. The one with the kids was moving

[Frank Cannon]

22. Exactly. No doubt he's laundering millions.

His "ad agency" is most likely a mail drop in a Tampa strip mall.

[uponit7771]

13. Trumps keeping the rest of the donations post prez run and they'll still love him for it

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. So far I've not been tortured by one

And I'm so thankful.

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. It's laughable. It's like watching a middle aged white guy

Dance to hip hop.

it's a fucking mess.

[pansypoo53219]

19. they have words tho. good words. or word, word, word, word....

[piechartking]

20. I've always felt that there's a creativity deficit on the conservative side

It makes sense if you think about it. If you're artsy and whimsical, involved in a lot of creative work, does that sound like a conservative to you? It doesn't to me.

[anamandujano]

24. When I was about 10, I asked my uncle why democracy was better than communism.

He said, if you write a book there is only one place that decides whether it gets published. If they say no, you have nowhere to turn. Here, you don't have to lose hope if one place turns you down because there are many more.

[Binkie The Clown]

23. What puzzles me is they are wasting money on TV ads here in Oregon!

Oregon, for crying out loud! Who wastes money on pro-Trump ads in Oregon. We are solidly blue by at least a 25% margin.

[Orcrist]

25. Talk about wasting money...

I have seen Trump ads here in Alabama and recieved 2 robo calls from the Trump campaign. Alabama is the reddest state there is. Why would any republican campaign waste money here? The stupidity of it boggles the mind.

[underpants]

26. Campaigns pay the usual operatives to do those

"How to Rig an Election" by Allen Raymond is a good short funny read. He goes into the details of this sort of thing. Different campaigns will hire the same robo call and mailing operations in each election. It's sort of their way of supporting the machinery and it is noticed by the parties and the leadership.

Raymond got seed money
from Haley Barbour when he was the head of the RNC. Raymond was approached by Erskin Bowles to do a massive robo operation the last weekend of the campaign but passed because he'd taken money from the RNC and was trying to make a name for himself. He ended up getting business from the RNC on Election Day. He got 3 or 4 numbers to call repeatedly - it was the Dem's GOTV operation in New Hampshire 2002. He jammed the lines. Raymond did 4 months in Fed prison.

It's a really interesting read. Two funny stories about Mitch McConnell and the Cubans in Miami. The one about Rove is typical of Rove.
