(11,519 posts)A high percentage of votes are going to be locked in within the next few weeks, it's time for the "October surprise" NOW (if there is one).
Mike 03
(16,616 posts)He's been promising "something" for quite a while now. And something on Lindsey Graham too. Something he says his background in investigation helped him acquire.
He's done quite a bit of boasting about it, so let's really hope it happens.

(111,267 posts)The target audience lives in the fancy suburbs of small midwestern and southern cities. They watch Pox News and think their preachers never lie. Their stock portfolios are looking good (although the earnings are down, something most of them don't care that much about) and they can buy new guns whenever they want to.
So they think he's doing a great job.
This ad is trying to bust through the smug complacency. I'm not sure how effective it will be at that, I think too many of them will just change the channel if it ever gets onto TV.

Mike 03
(16,616 posts)His videos air on Twitter, and I don't know how many MAGAts watch them. Because of how twitter works now, I don't see many MAGAt tweets--but I do see some, especially if I go looking for them--and I'm doubting they see too many of mine.
Looking forward to his long-anticipated, long-promised information dumps!

(63,221 posts)on Twitter to access something from Don Winslow, I get this message:
"This account owner limits who can view their Tweets. Learn more".
Why would he limit who can view his tweets? I would think he would want to get his message out to as many people as possible.

(14,565 posts)But I don't care. I was able to watch it here.
Winslow doesn't seem to understand that a 2 minute video accomplishes less, not more. I wish Bloomberg would get going because his crew grasps the impact of short sound bytes, unlike Winslow with the Storage Wars approach of cramming to the ceiling. From now on I'm going to skip every Winslow thread. He is several levels below where we need to be.

Lucinda
(31,170 posts)pretty violent in their attacks of anything resembling truth. since people have to actually follow him, it may weed out some of the violent rhetoric, since they have an extra step to go through when attacking him...
When his followers share it I think it can be seen by all - and it seems to be getting widespread coverage that way...

Traildogbob
(8,746 posts)Was just listening to Michelangelo on Sirius Progressive 127. One of the last callers a protrumper god fearing Christian said there is no way a god fearing Christian could not vote for Trump and all the promises he kept. These eye vein bulging maniacs in the video are those god fearing Christian. Guns, hate violence, plowing over ppl in their car, rage, Nazis and a fat Trump Karen screaming god elected trump to rule AmurKKKa.
Know what......Fuck THAT white god.

(2,221 posts)I know this is nothing new to those of us who have been paying attention but, dang!! This is very effective imo. And I think it will serve to remind people just what is happening here in America. This is horrifying. People become numb, memories are short and there is something disgusting every day for us to fight against. This serves it up in one big scary helping. Good job Mr Winslow!

(4,426 posts)I don't post a great deal but I've been around DU for a lot of presidential elections. Every time, we have people appear who promise us that they have "the Thing that will bring (insert name) down!" Usually, they have nothing and are just promoting themselves, their books or their website. Ask any of the old timers here. It happens every election.
Trump is obviously an order of magnitude more corrupt and more stupid than any of his predecessors for at least the last hundred years, but I am not going to hold my breath waiting for a promised "October Surprise" from this guy or anyone else. Stay energized, get the vote out. That is what matters.
TexasBushwhacker
(20,192 posts)and get them to fucking vote! Even if you live in the bluest of blue states or the reddest of the red states, our individual vote still matters. Maybe not in the Presidential race, but in the down ballot races. Don't forget. Al Franken won his seat in the Senate by just over 300 votes!

(2,336 posts)You cannot distinguish who is who in the videos; are they supporters, are they agitators? Maybe I need to rewatch but I don't get how this is giving a specific message that it's his supporters in the wrong.
