8. Joe could just say, well that was a stupid comment, and I bet Trump would go off on it

I mean how could you not. Nothing needs be said directly, just small little digs crafted into his answers that Trump won't be able to ignore. Each Biden answer should be peppered with these landmines. Trump will use up all of his time rebutting the little digs, completely ignoring the issues. He just can't help himself. Hillary said it right during their debate when she said why would you want someone in the White House who can be triggered by a tweet?

2. IMO nothing angers people more than calling them stupid

Fine to label the TSF as such, but I imagine it engages and riles his supporters even more.

I do not like this ad or its execution.

They’re still a minority of which their majority are stupid and ignorant. Time to call them out for their defining trait. Willfully ignorant and blissfully stupid.

Calling voters "stupid" will further alienate them. The political target is TSF; the political prize is converts to democracy.

7. This ad is for us, independents, and the non voters. It will infuriate the trumpers

I'd prefer them apathetic and resentful rather than enraged and energized.
It's a good ad that reminds us of who they are.

13. They're already enraged. They are in a perpetual state of anger and resentment

There's really nothing anyone can do to increase that.
