And even the roar of the engine is part of the dynamic of the ad.
Also, please note the placement of the Chevy logo there at the end.
Good old American Muscle.
She's really got it!

How does her score-settling translate to policies for working class people?

I must be getting old, but this seems like a celebrity candidacy to me

but I agree that it is more show than substance. She has other commercials that go deeper into policy. This one was set up for the wow factor, get hits and raise money.

It certainly does get attention

Not sure I'm wild about former spooks filling Congress, but she IS a good driver!

and it's Trump. Yes, there are lots of issues that need to be dealt with, but for voters Trump personifies everything they're mad about. And she goes right to the heart of that.

for the CIA. He put a target on her back and probably hoped one of our enemies would kill her. As she says she has some scores to settle. I hope she wins the Congressional seat in NM that she is running for.

"Mr. President...., Say My Name."

(also read on one of these posts, that if she wins she will be seated next to Liz Cheney. Interesting if true.)
