to run on law and order. It worked in 2016 and it may work for him in 2020. The Lincoln Project knows how to hit Trump. They use the old Karl Rove stratagy of attacking his strong points. So far their ads have by far been more effective than ours, they don't pull any punches.

His inflammatory rhetoric and division has led to this type of anarchy and violence in the streets. The buck stops with him whether he likes it or not.

I wish they would have an ad showing that his brilliant economy was actually thanks to Obama.

that they are on the verge of diluting their message and strength of that message by releasing ads just about every other day (it seems). If feels like they are running the risk of becoming background noise.

On the other hand, I have to trust that they know what they're doing as they've been very successful doing it for more years than I've been voting.

It’s beginning to look like just one group, though I know there are more, attacking Trump. They have become part of the Trump Haters that his supporters easily dismiss.

I don’t know about independents and those on the fence, but too much of anything soon does become background noise.

Middle finger is extended, touching his brow? It's what I do when stuck in meetings with idiots.

What could have been if we had a leader guiding us through this pandemic like every American President before rose to the occasion to unite and lead the country regardless of party. Where are the Dem leaders standing outside his Gold course with a hoard of reporters screaming why are you golfing while people are dying. Dem leaders should have a sit in, or hunger strike demanding that the Federal govt takes the lead in the pandemic. He is golfing while we are dying. The focus should be on his lack of action everyday. You never hear Trump talk about what being an American means and how the world looks to us to lead on everything from human rights, justice and equality, and yes, militarily when needed. The world has always looked to the USA that's why when Obama was elected hope returned to the world who came out by the millions to see him. Trump never expresses American greatness, he only degrades, divides, and it's never about America, it is always about him. And people let me just say this, I live in New Jersey and my son was in Ocean City , New Jersey for the 4th and he was disgusted by the inordinate number of Trump signs he saw. It's all about owning Libs, nothing about policy. Trump's greatest asset is the ability to bring the very worst out in people. He gives license to hate and this BLM movement infuriates his supporters, and now this cancel culture bullshit . We cannot take this election for granted. Forget the polls, he can win again and we must do everything in our power to prevent this. Let The House start tomorrow by initiating an impeachment inquiry into Bill Barr. He must go now.
