5. At the very least, the MSM stops clutching their pearls and quickly shuts the hell up.

Plus, getting in Trump's gutter is reshaping the narrative and public perception. Better yet, it's got to be stressing Donnie's arteries to the max. The one thing he cannot stand, that drives him absolutely nuts is being laughed at. Honestly, I think this is one of the smartest ploys Dems have pulled in decades. Maybe since the Daisy ads. It's not a complicated formula. Repukes aren't smart but they figured it out. Making people laugh or scaring the shit out of them gets through. It works.

May seem quaint by our standards but given the times and the context, this ad was powerful. Scare the shit out of them.
