The Biden campaign needs to do commercials on FOX News portraying Trump as a liar and conman!

To assure victory I think Biden needs to cut into Trump's base support. Trump has a huge approval rating among Republicans and I think that is due in large part to the fact that almost all of his supporters get their news from FOX. Because FOX is in reality the Trump Propaganda Network, these people never hear the truth. If Biden could get some hard edged commercials showing Trump really doesn't give a crap about common people and only cares about himself, his family and billionaire cronies, it might wake up a few of them. If Trump is knocked down a peg or 2 by calling out that he is the worlds greatest liar and conman some of his base may see the light if they understand that they are being conned. No one likes to believe that have been conned. Of course it may be impossible to get anti Trump commercials on Fox. I don't know exactly how that works, but someone needs to enlighten these morons! You might reach some of the independent voters that watch Fox as well. Anti Trump commercials on CNN are just preaching to the choir and you see Anti Biden commercials all the time on CNN. I heard the Lincoln Project was doing some commercials on Fox which is great, but we need to get a major anti Trump vibe going on Fox!

OK, so 31% don't approve. Sounds like it's worth an ad or two or three. nt LAS14 Sep 2020 #9

Trump's base will never desert him. And no amount of commercials on Fox will change that.
Biden needs to get to non-Fox watching swing voters in swing States. That is how he wins.

And welcome to DU Jimbo.

Is there anyone who could put out a political advertisement on Fox that could sway viewers minds. If so who would that be and what would the advertisement look like? Trump in his own words disparaging Fox or its viewers? What’s important enough to those viewers to get them to scratch their heads a bit?

Sorry about that. Maybe Bloomberg can direct some of his advertising there.
