Post Your Best Campaign Ad Idea

Here's are a few:

1) Because the Orange Idiot yearns to win, especially celebrity and vanity status, I propose a multi-part series called "Who Said it Best" styled like the side-by-side "who wore it best" celebrity click bait articles. Left screen is Trump saying/tweeting some outrageous shit like "I'm a stable genius." Right screen is villian/third-world dictator/Putin saying same. Final frame is the Orange Idiot in meltdown mode mocking a disabled person/woman/black people
followed by footage of our candidate calmly calling for unity and offering a vision of better days. Superimposed text reads: Choose wisely. Nov. 3.


2) A series of ads called "Shit Wannabe Dictators say" -- which features actual footage of Orange Baboon saying/tweeting shit like "I have the abolute right to order private businesses out of China," "I have the absolute right to declare a national emergency," I have the absolute right to ask other countries to investigate" rivals, "I have an absolute right to share intelligence with Russia," and of course "I have the absolute right to pardon myself."

3) A series called "Some people are saying" that showcases lies Trump told the American people on TV, followed immediately by contradictory statements/reversals by his spokespeople, cabinet members, chief of staff, honest witnessses and actual subject experts.


There is so much material to work with in the public domain. I'm excited to see what the real ad guys come up with. They need to hire the writers from Seth Myers' A Closer Look.

If Truly Trumptastic Traitor gets the boot before election, we pull together similar concepts for all the wingnuts up for election who defended or worse, parrotted this nonsense -- like Graham and McConnell. And if ever Nikki Haley were to re-surface (of course she will), we roll the tape on her shit too.

I think just a simple graph of income any quality. That’s it, singular focus, simple, let it burn on the screen

Scene opens on fast-cut edited newsotainment/chattering talking heads/images of republicans with russians montage, ominous intro music, cut to high pitched piercing tone and black screen, blend into voiceover, fade out high pitched piercing tone:

VOICEOVER: DID YOU EVER ASK YOURSELF ONE SIMPLE QUESTION?

WHY DID RUSSIA WEAPONIZE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES?

transition to Dem blue background, VOTE DEMOCRATIC 2020, catchphrase.

that shows actual former trump supporters explaining how trump has let down and hurt the little guy, like them. Farmers, veterans, factory workers, etc etc. I will never forget the looks of bewilderment and shock on the faces of trump supporters that suffered during the government shutdown. They didn't think trump would do it to THEM.

Factories that closed, white nationalists emboldened, kids in cages, Trump pushing that ambassador out of the way, grab 'em by the pussy, accused of race-based housing discrimination... twice, attacking gold star family, etc.

Intersperse it with soaring images of what America is supposed to be... go back and forth.

10. They have to be ads to go after the people who appear to still love the cult leader.

Older veterans might like to know how Don reduced the waiting list at the VA by 2/3 - the applications were rejected. Throw in a remark about the kind of medical care a person with bone spurs who lives in the White House might get vs. a homeless veteran who fought overseas in wars.
