A harsh new anti-Trump ad shows how Democrats view 2020

Ever since Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016, observers have wondered what might finally loosen Trump’s grip on the aging, rural, exurban, blue-collar and evangelical voters who make up his core constituencies.

While Republicans did see support among Trump constituencies erode in the 2018 elections, many polls showed Trump’s support largely undiminished with them. It became a cliche for reporters to venture into Trump country and find that the latest outrage hadn’t landed. Full-blown corruption? Pardoning cronies? Caging migrant children? Subverting national security policy to his reelection needs? Nope, nope, nope and nope.

But it needs to be asked whether the coronavirus crisis is beginning to do what these other things have thus far largely failed to do.

Some Democratic strategists believe this is in the process of happening, and a new ad from the super PAC American Bridge provides an occasion to look at this growing belief among Democrats.

We need more of these kinds of ads. Real Americans from all walks of life who have been betrayed by Trump’s negligence.
