(17,387 posts)10. Is There a Mutual Non-Aggression Pact Between Trump/BS on Ads?
Last edited Fri Mar 27, 2020, 10:46 PM - Edit history (1)
Biden, Bloomberg, etc. have run very specific ads targeting Trump. For example:
Link to tweet
?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1242967501442412544&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.businessinsider.com%2Fbiden-ad-hits-trump-downplaying-coronavirus-us-cases-climbed-2020-3
BS, on the other hand, has runs ads that just generically target billionaires while he complains that his Democratic opponents are supported by billionaires, which undercuts the attack on Trump. Has BS run any ads comparable to Biden's ad attacking Trump?
Meanwhile, Trump has defended Bernie multiple times. Is their a tacit understanding between the campaigns where they both get what they want, BS as the Democratic nominee.

No. Just as attention must be drawn to Trump's lies and smears, any influential person's for that

Some have wondered. It is strange that Bernie has not more consistently criticized Trump,

The Campaign financial numbers are due next week, which will make for interesting reading.
