Wow- These "Priorities USA" anti- Trump ads are Interesting AF!!

Both feature his most disturbing remarks about women, and (inevitably) their bodies. The first is their standard montage of clips showing Donald saying these things himself. The second set is pretty much the same things, but lip-synched to come out of the mouths of women! All sorts of shapes, ages and colors of women. Both were shown exclusively on Rachel Maddow's show tonight.

They decided to start earlier than planned (June 9) and will start running Wednesday AM. They said they benefitted greatly from the research they did on anti-Trump ads put out by his competitors in the GOP primary. They say while DT has great name recognition, most people have no idea what a sexist war mongering racist POS he is. So it will be an educational campaign. I LIKE this super pac already.

2. The strategist was interesting- so few voters "know" Trump..... and we all know the more they "know"

any candidate, the more their unfavorables go down. Sanders enjoyed the same advantage.

Jeb and others spent 70 million at least on negative trump ads. Something needs to stick.

In the GE with the broader nation voting, this kind of stuff is going to matter a great deal.

That's what he is, and the demographic he's appealing to represent -- the people who absurdly admire him for being an asshole are the same type that make the hateful racist and sexist and homophobic/transphobic and anti-immigration anonymous comments safely behind a screen.



This one is nice...

But also, seriously.

Jarring, provocative, and disturbing --- all the things you want associated with Trump.

4. Since Citizens United they have been the unofficial attack dog group for the Democratic Party.

And it's where people like George Soros and Steven Spielberg/other DreamWorks employees have given their money beyond traditional campaign limits.

As much brouhaha as they got, deservedly, for deciding to endorse a primary candidate rather than only attack the Republicans, as the election goes forward they will start spending far more of their "war chest" against Trump.

Against Republicans with a final graphic indicating they were supporting Hillary.

Nothing negative against Bernie at all.
