My husband today, who is not political and who passed on voting in primaries:

"I would walk through a gauntlet of wooden baseball bats to vote for a steaming pile of shit before I vote for that MotherF#cker " (Trump). He is especially a fan of the Lincoln Project commercials, particularly the one called "How a President Leads"[link:

|

He is definitely in the Trump voter demographic (blue collar, college educated, 45-55, male) and obviously hates his guts.

He also says the Trump ads are really banal and weak. (We saw the one where he tried to link Biden to China??). Also the one where they try to make Biden seem like he has confusion.

fYi-- his parents are huge Trump supporters.

The Parscale ads have been incredibly weak, IMHO.

Especially in comparison to The Lincoln Project ones.

That seems pretty tone-deaf (as usual). Most people don't like to read, so they put only words you must read on their ads? And they point out Biden has 40 years experience as if that's a bad thing? Not very effective ad, especially currently.

the president he will vote for for now.

To get this mess under control and back on track, of course, we also has to have a competent and cooperative congress to work with the executive branch to make it happen...

Trump is a freak. Great news about your husband’s motivation — this ad is very effective.
