That's brilliant, probably better than all the Project Lincoln attack ads.

Keep going for the kill. Don't let up, and let him gaslight this away.

Just had to do a search for Benedict Arnold.

And yet that guy is still more respectable than Donald because he went to war instead of staying home and claiming bone spurs, while insulting actual soldiers.

Great ad for targeting older voters for whom Benedict Arnold is a more well-known figure...

... but it's also just awesome overall.

Press: "What do you make of this ad and the comparison between you and Benedict Arnold?"

Trump: "I think it's totally wrong and I think they are the real traitors. You know, Arnold... Actually, Arnold Schwarzenegger took over The Apprentice after I became president. They thought it was gonna be so great. 'Oh, the ratings are gonna be through the roof! We're gonna get the best ratings of any show on any network in the history of American television!' Or any television, really. I made American television as big as it is now. Before me, people weren't watching TV very much. They would just do something else. They thought, 'TV is boring. It's boring. There's nothing I want to watch because I don't like any of those people.' With the exception of, maybe, sports. And even then, you should just watch... If I were to show up... If I were to even just show up, not even play... Even though I could, I have tremendous football skills. But if I were to even just show up, just show up, the ratings would explode and people would go, 'I've never seen anything like this. Never seen anything like this. It's unbelievable.' And I think, you know, everybody was wrong. They thought they could replace me, but I can't be replaced. It doesn't work like that. So I think this ad is just very bad for our country and they really should just take it down."

Aside from missing some adjectives, e.g., amazing, incredible, beautiful, disaster, and etc. A few other expressions like, "nobody knew", "believe me", this is pretty damn spot on.

Benedict Donald is PERFECT.

I could see that one getting under his skin. Apparently he hates his own first name, hence why he is so obsessed with being called mister trump in all his fantasies. So this is a double whammy.

I remember here in the UK when Fox News was available, around 2003 so you can imagine what the Iraq War was like. I was young at the time but I was put off by the Movie Trailer type voiceovers being DRAMATIC all the time.

Thing is with this advert, is that the Trump-Russia connection, along with all the insideous shit that's happened, has been talked about a lot over the past few years, and rightfully so, but I think a lot of people think "Huh, boring" and tune it out.

all these anti-Donalds are good but as someone who doesn't have cable or watch TV, are they even airing in the battleground states?
Project Lincoln seems to put out a lot of ads. But are they being seen by people?

Project Lincoln is being very surgical about these ads. Someone mentioned how they focused on some area on DC that basically forced Trumps campaign to waste money on campaigning on. I think it was in the other Project Lincoln thread.

Found it: https://www.resetera.com/threads/pr...ding-body-blows-on-trump.223123/post-36327013

One other benefit of these is what the Daily Beast reported today. The Trump campaign just made a $400,000 ad buy in Washington DC. Washington DC has 3 electoral college votes. Nearby Virginia and Maryland are going to be easily carried by Biden. DC itself is going to vote like 90% or more for Biden. The ad buy makes no sense .....

except...

It's a counter to the few thousand dollars that Lincoln Project spent running ads in one zip code, 20006, which has a tiny number of permanent residents.... But one particular resident, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Lincoln Project ran that "Mourning in America" ad at 10PM in zip code 20006, one one station, Fox News, during the HAnnity and Carlson hours. One American saw it, Donald Trump, and immediately took to twitter to rage tweet about it and as soon as he did, the video got tens of millions of views on YouTube.

SO now, Brad Parscale and Jared Kushner are spending half a mil running Trump ads in DC just so that Donald Trump thinks they're countering Lincoln project ads. It's so hilarious. There's nothing tactical behind it.
