Democrats should show the Trump-rampage video as a campaign-ad in 2020. I'm 100% F*****G serious.

This is who Republicans really are.

Show the video a Trump-fan made, of Trump brutally killing two former Presidents, a former republican Senator, a recent republican Senator, several recent Democrats and several journalists.

This is who Republicans really are.

Show the video of the riots at Charlottesville. Show the video of the two people who died there. Show Trump's response.

This is who Republicans really are.

Show the video of Trump telling a rally-crowd to knock someone out. He will pay the lawyers.

This is who Republicans really are.

Have children quote him. Imagine a boy reading out Trump's "grab-em-by-the-pussy".

This is who Republicans really are.

Quote Rex Tillerson calling Trump a moron. Quote what Lindsey Graham said about him. Quote Kevin McCarthy how he thinks that Rohrabacher and Trump are paid by Russia.

This is who Republicans really are.





And then end the ad with a simple message: "A vote for a Republican is a vote for Trump."

Republicans are already trying to have it both ways with the voters: Pretending that even though they are Republicans, they don't have anything to do with Trump.

This ad will only amplify their problem and force them to create an even greater distancebetween themselves and Trump.

Do you know what killed the Democratic Party in the 2014 midterm elections? Democratic candidates pretending that even though they are Democrats, they don't have anything to do with Obama.













This is it. This is how you kill the GOP in 2020: Quote them.

How to craft them, use them, and SPREAD them.

And I must add - this one really hits hard. And it says what needs to be said.

Reminds me of that Maya Angelou quote: ”if someone shows you who they really are, believe them.”

to show what their party stands for now.

This not a "one off". They have created similar imagery of violence against the media in previous videos using a similar format of having the head of a person being violently dealt with, replaced with the logo of a news organization.

In this case, they felt so bold (or desperate enough) to include the images of current and former federally-elected individuals.

Anyone remember how they destroyed Kathy Griffin's career for this?

The Trump voters are 60% trumpublicans and 40% traditional republicans.

The traditional republicans react negatively to this type of stuff. The Trumpublicans cheer it.

Trump only cares about keeping the 60% happy because with that 60% he can control the party.
