It sucks. And it's titled "Two Americas". Trump's 1st GE TV ad:

[cali]

Gee, wonder who he stole that "Two Americas" concept from:

[DemonGoddess]

1. ewwwwww

Only people I know this would appeal to are racist assholes.

[Cracklin Charlie]

2. So lame.

I hope they paid a fortune for that.

[tonyt53]

3. What else would have been expected - an ad that plays on fear. Not anything positive at all.

[Wounded Bear]

4. ...and not a single fact or proposal in that vid...

not a one. Just more of the old "It's gonna be great!" schtick.

[cali]

5. true, and beyond that, it's just dreadful and more dark than "it's gonna be great!"

narration, sound, visuals are dark and meant to scare and stir animus.

[Wounded Bear]

6. And don't you just love...

the "husband kissing his wife on his way off to work" moment?

[Democat]

7. It's not a good ad and only appeals to his base

Hopefully they'll spend a lot of money running it.

[nolabear]

8. Well what a dumbass ad. It does nothing interesting or new.

Even the voiceover sounds bored.

And man, that white Whitey McWhiteson little family at the end, being kept safe from the brown people.

[SticksnStones]

16. That voice is Bruce McGill

You'll know him from Rizzoli and Isles

[Maru Kitteh]

20. I may be the only one but

Who the heck are Rizzoli and Isles?

[SticksnStones]

21. It's a tv series on TNT that's just finishing up its 7th and final season

Two strong female leads, a detective and the M.E. it's smart for a cable detective show without being macabre.

And as a bonus, it's passes the Bechdel test: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test

[Maru Kitteh]

22. Well that looks cheesy as eff.

Sorry I asked.

[femmocrat]

9. Those long lines on election day were created by republicans.

[cali]

10. That emoticon is actually the best response to this piece of shit ad.

[MohRokTah]

11. It's designed to give white people cover to be xenophobic racists. eom

[cali]

12. yes. and to scare them of "the other".

[MineralMan]

13. I agree with your assessment of this ad.

[Orsino]

14. That's the slogan that once sold me on Edwards.

Whatever good Edwards would have done in office, I suspect that Trump is promising only the infidelity and fraud.

[Ace Rothstein]

15. Very low energy.

Sad!

[Blue Idaho]

17. Looks like he's still trying to solidify

His cranky old white supremacist base... the one thing this ad does do is expose Trump's world view as a scary dark place where whites must fear everything and everyone. Only armed forces inside the US can protect white people from the dangers in their community. Only a strong and aggressive military can protect white America from the rest of the world.

This is a sick man with a twisted view of the US and our place in the world.

[oberliner]

18. John Edwards flashback

He actually made that frame work.

[anneboleyn]

19. It's like an SNL parody with the "illegal aliens" (brown people) anxiety optics.
