... I pray they make it the last week blitz so he can't respond.

This is something even his supporters can't defend

White blue collar men...they work hard, often in the same types of trades as those contractors Trump cheated and destroyed. This line of ads hits Trump followers exactly where they live and WILL make many think twice.

This MUST be at least part of the focus for the rest of the time. This would be the nail in his political coffin.

It's later now and more people are paying attention. After all the sexual assault scandal and him being shown to be unfit...this reminder WILL cost him voters.

One of my facebook friends is a pretty rabid Trump supporter. I posted videos about the contractors and he stopped arguing and went silent.

Trump's non-alt-right supporters are all about jobs being lost and loss of income. They all know Trump is one of the wealthiest people in the US. They know he can afford to pay contractors. So hearing so many say they did the work and he didn't pay and then destroyed their businesses, credit and lives shows the what kind of person Trump is. This information needs to be hammered home in rust belt swing states HARD.

This guy is a total liar, cheat, fraud. He is a right bastard and should have been called out on it long ago.

Still, I would have loved to have seen them. There are still a large handful of Trump supporters here.

They need to re-run them in all battleground states, Georgia, Texas and other red states that Clinton is polling decent in. These ads could turn some red states blue. I am a swing voting Independent...these ads are more effective with moderate Republican voters than the ones about Trump being a bully. They care less about bullies and more about their wallets and opportunity to have their own businesses without getting destroyed financially from being cheated. All the ads focusing on people with disabilities are great for those who are probably already voting for Clinton...but she needs to weaken Trump's support and these types of ads is the way to do it. I hope someone from the campaign reads here and starts running these ads again.

This would seem to be the one issue that Trump's supporters and opponents can agree on--deliberately swindling small business owners as a routine practice to make money oneself is utterly reprehensible.
