Very first debate, they were shocked that no one mentioned trump that much. Said it should be 50% about you and 50% contrasting yourself with trump.

And not the same old critique...dig and research and find shit he's doing behind the scenes ( like letting coal companies dump sludge with cancer causing materials) in our water.

were he part of the Democratic primary process. He's not playing by the same rules. He's not playing by any rules. He hasn't had to debate with fellow candidates who are attacking him and making accusations the way the rest have. There are no moderators to answer to for something he said 10 years ago.

If every candidate running had unlimited funds and wasn't getting called out on the public stage they could run the same kind of ads.

There is little I find commendable or exemplary about the way he's running his campaign.

ETA: Don't get me wrong. I love that he's attacking Trump. But it doesn't make him a great candidate.

saying pretty much the same. The ads really are great. The candidate not so much.

I can't recall who but someone called him the adult (in the room?). The way he's playing does not make him the adult and it makes me sad that people are buying into his candidacy so quickly and confusing a good ad for a good candidate.

What a concept! Take it to the real Enemy of the Republic: Donald J. Trump and his cohorts.

This is a blockbuster ad, an indictment of the worst, most inept, petty and vindictive president the US has ever had.

Kick the sucker in his tiny balls and don't look back!

his regulation reversals! Not simple to understand so find a team of researchers!!! Spring a couple on him. Guarantee he probably knows nothing about it. He would scramble. How on Earth could you justify allowing poison to be dumped when you knew it was poison? If you read back on Impeachment...that was mentioned. Endangering the lives of our citizens.

to pick apart his lies, his distortions, his ignorant behavior, everything. We don't need the negative ads amongst ourselves, we all know the strengths and weaknesses of ourselves, and don't need the ignorant republicans to say a damn thing.

We just need to start giving rump the thumping of his life that he so richly deserves, and the beating of his life in Nov. 2020.
