I saw a Trump ad this morning in Ohio they show

[doc03]

Joe Biden not being able to read or pronounce words, it has obviously been manipulated. Apparently that will be their strategy to run on his age.

[lettucebe]

1. My sister who pays zero attention told me, "that other guy can't put two sentences together."

She didn't even know Biden's name! Her husband watches Fox exclusively, so there you go.

I've tried but she's pretty ignorant and not interested in politics, and since that is what she sees, that is what she believes. This is what we are up against.

Luckily, many many many do pay attention and are interested, so she is in the minority

[doc03]

3. Yep I have heard several Trumpians bring

that up myself. But I think we could run ten to one more of the same on Trump without any editing.

[Demsrule86]

13. Consider if they are running the ad in Ohio how much trouble Trump must be in.

[grantcart]

24. They booked $ 100 million. $ 32 million in Florida

They are bleeding in the states they must have and took last time

They will saturate the market and after a period everyone stops paying attention.

[HotTeaBag]

2. Hope so, 'cause that's pretty damn dumb.

Trump's base (especially in Florida) is mostly senior citizens and the quite elderly so it would be an incredibly dumb demographic to piss off.

But then again, what else can he run on?

[doc03]

4. They are also trying to connect Democrats with the

new boogy man China. I think 2016 was Mexico this year it will be China.

5. Biden stutters sometimes. So they probably strung a bunch of stutters together

[napi21]

6. Apparantly FOX has been pushing that story for quite a while. My neighbor (who watches FOX daily)

said "I hope we don't get stuck with that Biden guy" When I asked why, she said "He can't put 2 words together to make a sentence!" That was 2 months ago!

[Skittles]

8. how can ANYONE listen to TRUMP and critcize someone else's SPEAKING ABILITY

seriously, W.T.F.

[Thrill]

7. They act like he's so much younger

than Biden. Jeesh

[uponit7771]

14. +1, its senseless !!!

[Goodheart]

18. That's another thing...

The trump campaign is running the real risk of pissing off older voters, including the white ones who are the bulk of his support.

[mnmoderatedem]

9. they're running that ad all the time here in Minnesota.

They really seem to think MN is in play, and are going all out. Technically it may be in play, closer than expected in 2016, but I just don't see it.

[Generic Brad]

10. I saw that in Tennessee today

Why is he running ads in a reliably red state?

[doc03]

20. Same goes here in the tri state area of eastern Ohio, WV and western PA. They

know they are losing when they have to spend money here.

[doc03]

11. Another angle I have heard is Biden is going

to chose a black women as VP. They are saying he will drop out and we will have a black women as president.
I would love to see Kamala Harris debate Pence.

[Karadeniz]

12. When you have not one policy worth speaking up for, the only thing left is to whittle away

At picayune irrelevancies. Last campaign, he stumbled onto build the wall and who'll pay for it, lock her up and drain the swamp. Those passed for policy. Now he has nothing except his dismal record of failures.

[muntrv]

15. Says president covfefe.

[Goodheart]

16. This is the line of attack upon which they've settled

I've been listening to Sirius 125 ("Patriot" radio) and all the hosts there keep repeating over and over about Joe's cognitive decline... as though repetition will make it true.

But it's really funny how they're wanting to cover their bases, too. Sean Hannity about an upcoming debate: "I'm sure Biden will do well in debate because they're going to have him prepared like a robot."

LOL

And I'm sure that that reporter today asking Joe about his cognitive abilities was from one of these three places: Fox, OAN, or Sirius 125.

[BGBD]

23. I doubt

OAN has a seat at the table in a Biden presser.

Those types of questions can also be considered softballs, gives Biden chances to use lines like the one he did.

I'm perfectly fine with Trump using this line of attack on Biden because it just lowers expectations for him. When Trumpers are trying to tell everyone that "Biden can't string two sentences together!" it just makes him look better when he goes on TV and has an interview where he is perfectly clear.

Remember, the public decides who "wins" a debate based almost entirely on their performance relative to expectations. If everybody expects Biden to get on stage and not look good, but then he performs fine, that performance will be elevated because he will have done better than people thought he would.

Biden is a better debater and a better speaker than Trump, so if they want to lower expectations for him just so he can show up and make Trump look bad on stage, bring it. This is what happened when Bernie tried doing this. When they debated one-on-one all of the Bernie supporters were saying "Just wait till they debate" Biden has dementia, Bernie will run him off the stage." Then when Biden showed up and didn't drool on himself, he sealed the nomination.

17. This has been going on in Arizona for a while. Disgusting, but predictable.

[GoCubsGo]

19. They have been showing it here, too.

I get my TV out of Georgia. The fact that they feel the need to air that disgusting filth in Georgia--in June, says all you need to know about the state of that asshole's campaign.

[BGBD]

21. Trumps ads are...

weaksauce.

I really hope they keep up with these attacks, because they are going to lose. Biden and associated groups attack ads are viscous and cut to the bone on Trump and the preconceived notions people have about him. Oh, and there's plenty out there that show him barely able to speak and walk himself.

[GulfCoast66]

22. They are so stupid. They are putting all their eggs into this basket.

Anyone see Joe and Bernie’s debate?

When Joe walks out and makes trump look like a 6 year old in their first debate those eggs will all get broken.
