An ad buy with this topic will make zero difference.
Everyone knows he's a condescending asshole, why waste money telling people what they know? No minds will be changed because he disrespects a reporter.
The DNC knows this too. Avoid disappointment ... adjust expectations... I can guarantee that ZERO ad dollars spent on this non event. It's ridiculous to demand it.
Focus instead on things that matter to the minds that can be changed. It's not that there is no place for ads... but this would be a waste of money.

I agree with gordianot: the DNC and other like-minded groups need to be running ads on these issues...

I don't think the suggestion is to run ads pointing out that he is disrespectful or condescending.

If ads didn't work you wouldn't see any on TV, Radio, newspapers or billboards. Yet we do. Why?

Agreed. It's about as dated and silly as demanding that the DNC have a bake-sales and car-washes, too.

This is something that pisses off Magas who say they vote Trump because he's "America First." Yes, it needs an ad buy.

No, it doesn't. This is not a wise way to spend money. Where's the biggest bang for the buck?

Yes... it is about voting. People "calling their (MAGA) congresspersons" will make ZERO difference.
