The Lincoln Project: Chyna

[demmiblue]

Well, that didn't take long!

[soothsayer]

1. Ha, good timing

Or... fast, can’t tell which

[demmiblue]

5. Probably good timing (I am guessing they had it in their arsenal for just a situation), still...

2. Anti-Trump Republican group launches new ad attacking President over China policies

(CNN)A group formed by anti-Trump Republicans is airing a new ad attacking President Donald Trump for getting "rolled" by China and its powerful President Xi Jinping.

The spot from the Lincoln Project -- which the group says will air in Florida, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Washington, DC -- comes the same day Trump's former national security adviser levied harsh claims against how the President has handled US-China relations during his first term in office.

"They know who Donald Trump is: weak, corrupt, ridiculed," a narrator in the ad says. "China beats him every time."

29. I wish this played almost everywhere.

Let the farmers in the midwest see it, too.

[Nikki28]

3. love it

Can't wait for Morning Joe and Mika and Rachael and Don L and Cuomo.

[mercuryblues]

4. I think they got an advanced copy of the book

and have many, many, great ads ready to roll. I mean really ready to roll. I hear they have some of the best ads and are going to roll them out all ready to roll. Ready to roll, the best.

[demmiblue]

7. Yep, now that I listen more carefully...

[Hekate]

6. I could pop corn off the heat from that thing. Pass the butter!

This ad should leave blisters!

By the way, can hardly wait for the naysayers to show up and tell us this ad is weak sauce and won't persuade anyone, whether Dem or Repub.

[demmiblue]

9. Every little bit helps, imo!

[roamer65]

8. Nice!

10. Interesting observation...

Notice the handshake...Chinas president has the "upper hand" on tRump...its a real thing, look it up...many leaders overtly try to gain the upper hand. Its a show of dominance over the other leader. Maybe someone can post a link to this practice in world politics...I dont have the time to look for it atm.

[mercuryblues]

21. Yup. that handshake is a power move by Xi

[Squidly]

25. I cant remember where I saw it

But I watched a whole program on it a few years back. Some of the videos they had was almost like watching the leaders thumb wrestle with their hands trying to get the top position. tRump probably isn't even aware of it. Would be interesting to see pics of handshakes of him with other leaders...especially Putin.

[mercuryblues]

28. We must have seen the same program

I found this:

Palm Up I am here to serve you. It can also indicate when first offered, submission or take charge.

Palm Down This is the authoritative position. You are in charge or in authority. You are there to take the lead, to take care of things, to get the job done. However it can also indicate a controlling personality.

11. Fast and Furious!

The Lincoln Project is on a roll with these political ads popping them out at a furious pace. They're going for Trump's underbelly where the ego, the arrogance, the vulnerability resides.

Keep it up, I say. Every ad leaves a bruise, a mark of doubt.

And when it comes to Trump and his enablers? Every bruise is justified x 1000.

Never forget, never forgive.

[sarge43]

12. "Roll over. Like a dog." Whoa. Fierce and accurate

[nolabear]

13. They are quick little bunnies, aren't they?

[icymist]

14. Are these ads on television? I mean, I watch a lot of television

since the COVID-19 sway at home thing; I never see these. They're good ads and need to get out more.

[BarbD]

22. Someone said they were being shown on Fox

I've seen them on DU, but never on TV. Showing them on Fox would be an excellent strategy because it would certainly get under Trump's think skin.

[warmfeet]

15. Not super happy with the whole China aspect - not from either side.

With the problems we face, every country in this world needs to work together. Pitting one country against another will not help in the long run. This is true for the tRump campaign. This is true for the The Lincoln Project.

And yeah, we had better find a way to work together. We are totally fucked if we don't.

[Johnny2X2X]

16. These guys are on top of it

They are hitting Trump where he thinks he’s strongest, it’s brilliant and a play out of Trump’s book.

[Hamlette]

17. those guys are fast and good

that one has to hurt. I expect we will be hearing from Trump soon.

[herding cats]

18. They knew what was going to be revealed.

This is a bonus of republicans fighting their own.

[infullview]

19. Ironic

That the conservatives who are making these videos are the same ones that were all for citizens united which helped to get us where we are now

[GoneOffShore]

27. It is indeed.

[Lonestarblue]

20. Wow. That was excellent.

[RainCaster]

23. I love this one! Play it lots in DC!

Woohoo!

[Larissa]

24. Pork for Xi

Trump bent over backwards to make certain that China got their pork, despite the fact that U.S. processing plants became Covid-19 hot spots.
