Democratic advertising blitz awaits GOP's Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — Long before Donald Trump swatted away his Republican presidential rivals, his likely Democratic opponent and her allies began laying traps for him.

Priorities USA, the lead super PAC backing Hillary Clinton, has already reserved $91 million in television advertising that will start next month and continue through Election Day. In addition, Clinton's campaign and Priorities USA have both debuted online videos that cast Trump in a negative light — a preview of what voters will see on TV over the next six months.

So far, Priorities USA is the only group on either side that has rolled out such an ambitious advertising plan geared toward the general election. The group's leaders say they're trying to avoid what they see as the core mistake made by Trump's Republican rivals — not pushing hard enough against him until it was too late.

"There's a reason that we have a head start," said Justin Barasky, a Priorities USA spokesman, "and it's that we've taken Donald Trump seriously all along, unlike the Republicans."

Good; I don't subscibe to unilateral disarmament.

[Zambero]

1. Where does one start?

There's enough footage straight out of Trump's mouth to run a 72-hour non-stop infomercial against the guy.

[yurbud]

16. that would be a mistake. a fair number of people LIKE what comes out of his mouth.

[Kelvin Mace]

2. Of course, at some point,

there will be a Trump response, and that's when it's going to get ugly.

[blm]

4. The uglier he gets the more rational people turn against him.

His 'popular because he shouts what ugly-hearted people think' schtick only wins a limited number of RW radio believing voters.

[Akicita]

6. That didn't happen in the Rethug primaries, especially when his ugliness was in response to

attacks on him. And he shut Hillary up in a hurry early on when she tried to brand him as being anti-woman by threatening to bring up Bill's treatment of women and Hillary's enabling of it if she went there. This guy is good at this stuff. He's not afraid to mix it up or to go where other politicians will not go. Don't underestimate him.

[blm]

10. LOL - That's his RW radio audience and he knew EXACTLY what it wanted to hear.

That is why he lost what was left of the civilized Republican voters.

Schtick is schtick. It only goes so far.

[Akicita]

12. I hope you're right. But he is a good counter puncher. I'm just saying that if our strategy

is to use the mountain of ammunition we have to attack him early and often with flurries of left hooks right upper cuts we should not be complacent and be aware that he has a good overhand right counter punch.

[blm]

13. To an extent, but, even that was for a specific audience.

Most people don't LIKE what they saw. Republican voting base liked it. And not even all of them.

[Akicita]

14. True. But let's not be complacent.

[blm]

15. Never complacent. Always determined. ; )

7. I don't know

It seems to bring out the worst people who now feel it is okay to be as openly racist since he has made it fashionable. Add to this the number of people who aren't thrilled with HRC and this election gets very dicey.

One must remember that the corporate media has ZERO intention of doings its job. To them the more shit flung, whether true or false, the better the ratings. Also, since this is a war of negative ads, the networks stand to make billions.

[blm]

11. True, but, media already gave him TONS of airtime and most people did NOT like what

they saw, including a significant number of Republicans still in touch with the civilized aspect of their beings.

[yurbud]

17. I am no fan of Hillary's, but the Clinton's took everything the right could dish out and still made

it to the end of Bill's term.

[blm]

18. You and I are on the same page there.

The Repubs couldn't withstand his onslaught because they spent decades getting their voters to believe their propaganda and were helpless when it came to a loudmouth spewing it at high volume throughout the primary campaign. What could they say? That their voters were dumb for believing what they themselves were agreeing to on FOX and in the many Moonie News outlets they tapped?

The difference is that Dem campaigns don't have to worry about turning RW radio audiences off. Treat Trump like we treated the Bundy ranchers……let them have the microphone. It won't take long.

[yurbud]

20. their day is past. The question is whether a new corporate tool party will emerge or Dems takeover

and force out progressives to a new party.

[houston16revival]

3. Trump's legions are already all over the chat rooms and discussions

They spew a blend of Faux News and hatred

HRC is in for heavy sledding

Trump's lies have to be dismantled not just with his own words

but with issues and the implications of his own words

Bringing our jobs back from China? How exactly? Seize the factories?

You think the owners will allow that?

Trump's gotten a free ride

[11 Bravo]

5. Hillary shouldn't have to spend much on advertising.

Every time the orange-maned baboon opens his fucking mouth he turns off another subset of the electorate; and his spew is a part of the public domain ... ie: free.

[EL34x4]

19. "Every time Trump opens his mouth, he turns off voters!"

Said Jeb, Rubio, Kasich, Carson, Fiorina, Jindal, Cruz, Huckabee, Santorum, Perry, Walker, Paul, the RNC, the GOP establishment, and on and on...

[bigworld]

8. A waste of money and resources IMO

I can't think any commercial is going to be able to convince someone to vote against Trump unless they're already there.

Think they'd do much better registering people to vote.

Commercials don't influence like they used to.

[Sunlei]

9. Trumps big friendship with Gadaffi will be a good start.

Muammar Gaddafi's tent finds home on Donald Trump's estate

Muammar Gaddafi pitched his tent on an estate belonging to Donald Trump in suburban New York yesterday, according to reports.

The Libyan leader is scheduled to attend the UN general assembly this week. He had been struggling to find a plot to accommodate the large Bedouin tent he takes with him when travelling abroad.

Workers were seen yesterday erecting a tent and satellites in the glamorous neighbourhood of Bedford on an estate owned by Trump. Local officials tried to stop them, saying it was illegal to build a temporary residence without a permit. An ABC News helicopter filmed a large tent on the 113-acre Seven Springs estate, with rugs and patterned wall hangings. Green and yellow fabric lined the walls in a pattern dotted with images of small brown camels, according to a local newspaper website image. Last night a state department official told AP the tent might be used for entertaining by Gadaffi, but he would not be sleeping there. Sep 22, 2009
