Morning Digest: Two Democrats show how to make Rs pay a price for supporting Trump - DailyKOS

Leading Off:

● NH-Sen, TX-23: After the Washington Post released the instantly infamous hot mic tape of Donald Trump on Friday, waves of vulnerable Republicans decided that the time was right to unendorse Trump's presidential campaign and fend for themselves. But unless Reince Priebus has a DeLorean in the RNC's garage, those legions of Republican candidates can't turn back time and take back their past declarations of support for The Donald.

And while Republican politicians can pretend that they didn't know what kind of person Trump really was until they heard him brag about sexually assaulting women, Democrats don't need to sit around and let them get away with it. Now two Democrats in competitive races, New Hampshire Senate candidate Maggie Hassan and Texas U.S. House candidate Pete Gallego, are out with ads velcroing their opponents back to Trump.

Last week, Hassan pounced after a debate where Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte inexplicably declared that Trump was a good model for children. Hassan's new commercial is modeled after the ad she ran against Ayotte after her debate blunder but before the Trump tapes were released. The spot once again starts with the moderator asking Ayotte, "Would you tell a child to aspire to be like Donald Trump? Would you point to him as a role model" and the senator responding, "Absolutely, I would do that." - DailyKOS

1. excellent. heck, they need to tie him to all the GOP candidates who don't disavow him this week!

I'd show that question in writing on a screen at the start of a commercial, and show Trump's bus clip bleeping out the foul words of course, then show whatever GOP candidate saying they still back him on audio/tweet/email/etc!

2. Support Trump

Here the republicans running for state and federal representatives are doubling down their support of Trump. Saying that they disagree with his vulgar talk but he is still better. While telling lies about Hillary. They need to go,but the support for stupid is to strong. From the poor people who spout Trumps rhetoric while using Snap and Wic. To the government contractors who think they do not work for the government.
