that Trump is promising and it still is not widely known. Biden must hammer this home DAILY. People must vote Trump out based upon this promise alone. It’s the third rail, and Trump is licking it.

If you want to protect your Social Security - you must not vote for Trump. You need to vote for Biden.

Don't get fancy. Get it out there in the first two sentences:

"Donald Trump has promised to eliminate the payroll tax. That means the end of social security"

Then elaborate a little bit. Show a senior forced to look for a job at age 75. But go back to the beginning at the end of the ad, "Re-electing Donald Trump is voting against social security."

The Bloomberg people should do this ad. They had marvelous instincts toward Florida.

a number or older Americans and others with visible disabilities look squarely in the camera and uses the words "Donald Trump wants to kill me." Have a narrator quickly point out Trump's plan to "gut Social Security and Social Security Disability Insurance by strangling its funding."

To sweeten it, play the shortest clip you can find of Trump saying he wants to do away with payroll tax cuts.

But just keep hammering the phrase, "Donald Trump wants to kill me" and use language of him committing acts of violence on SS and disability.
