This ad should reach even the most ardent Trump supporter. The ones who haven't joined the COVID death-cult, yet, anyhow.

There is so much material from which to choose for advertisers looking to make negative ads about Trump. Boy, did the Democratic Coalition nail it, with a new ad called "The Most Basic Duty."

It paints Trump as a total failure at his one basic responsibility: keeping Americans alive. Even better, that's the responsibility Trump himself said was the most important role of government.

This commercial takes the viewer from 2016 Candidate Trump — insisting if a head of state couldn't keep his citizens alive, they shouldn't be allowed to govern — through the haunting images, howling winds, harrowing ambulance sirens that have been ubiquitous since February in the U.S., when COVID-19 began its death march across the country. It ends, simply, with 2020 Trump at one of his COVID rallies/pressers saying, "There will be a lot of death."

"Trump failed," the screen reads at the end.

Perfectly simple. In other words, in terms even his staunches defenders can understand.

2. I like it! I just wish we could tie in the rest of the republicans to trump's lies,

with republican congressmen saying it's a hoax, etc. We want there to be NO Republicans elected next election. We need to keep tying them all to trump, because they have all given up their souls to him.

3. We need to keep hammering how badly Trump failed by pointing to South Korea

South Korea got their first case on Jan. 20, same day as us. South Korea lost only 240 people to date to the virus because they had a competent, able government who took it seriously, immediately mass producing tests as soon as the WHO made the test available to the world on Jan. 17. Because they had readily available testing, they were able to do targeted quarantines and never had to shut their country down.

The death numbers tell how stark the difference is when you have competent leadership. South Korea has one of the lowest death rates in the world at 4.6 per 1 million population. Trump, on the other hand, lied that it was the flu and sat on his stubby orange hands for 2 months, resulting in a U.S. death total to date of 47,681, and one of the worst death rates in the world, at 145.7 per 1 million population. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/coronavirus/
