I’m hoping a Lincoln project picks some of the more choice quotes to make TV ads out of. Just run the “eating cats and dogs” nonsense with large type on screen that says “This man is an idiot.”

The fact that it is 9/11 and they are blasting trump saying "I got involved with the Taliban" is a tragedy.

Uhhh, because if you somehow can't turn his unhinged behavior into attacks on his integrity... maybe you're not very good at your job.

Making attack ads from this shit should literally be a fucking cakewalk.

What's needed are cult deprogramming ads, not normal attack ads, and I get the impression it isn't so simple.

Just because you can accurately attack someone's integrity in an exposing and indefensible way doesn't mean you'll change anyone's mind who doesn't care.

I'm sure the golden diaper wearing mental health crisis voting bloc is one Trump attack ad away from revelation tho

Kinda silly to expect an "Ah-ha!" moment for more than a small handful of people this late in the game

Elon being creepy to TSwizz probably did more to help Dems than anything Trump could do to negatively affect Republican votes
