July 2, 2020 at 6:41 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
They didnt focus on the presidents curious monologue about his difficulties descending a ramp or drinking water at West Point, the small crowd size of the Tulsa event or even his use of the racist term kung flu. Instead, the ads zeroed in on Trumps admission that he urged officials to slow the testing down.
Its a reflection of a growing consensus among Democrats about what kind of hits on Trump are most likely to persuade swing voters and which ones wont. As in 2016, ad makers are focusing on Trumps character. But unlike four years ago, they are no longer focusing on his character in isolation rather they are pouring tens of millions of dollars into ads yoking his behavior to substantive policy issues surrounding the coronavirus, the economy and the civil unrest since the death of George Floyd.

Take away the bs they tried before with the "I may not like what he says but he is a successful .............." . Even though the only thing he was successful at was bankrupting businesses .

How long ago was Tulsa? Play the short attention span crowds sooner. You know the fat asshole is gonna say something stupid about xyz today or this weekend. Have the ad pre-written and insert his quotes on the issues from his speech at Mt Rushmore and put the ad out Monday
Boom get the next one ready, Proactive not reactive. Trump will be reeling from the last punch one the next one lands
