Winning. Democrats can do it, too.


There are a few things that bother me every day. One is that the Democratic Party, in spite of the supposed help Mike Bloomberg was going to provide even if he did not win the nomination, in spite of the fund raising all of the candidates did, has not run a single ad that will decrease Donald John Trump's popularity.

And the ads that I want them to run are simple: they include video of Donald Trump, blurting out the insane things that he does, then asking a simple question: do you want four more years of THAT?

Here's one easy ad that writes itself:

[VOICE OVER ANNOUNCER:]

Donald Trump suggested to the American people in a televised press briefing that they should consider ingesting or injecting disinfectant to kill the Coronavirus. Mr. Trump thinks that if putting bleach on a countertop or a toilet seat will kill germs, then having people swallow bleach will kill the virus in the lungs. And he said so. Out loud. On television, watched by millions.

[THE COPY FROM THE VIDEO:

".... supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light and I think you said that hasn't been checked but you are going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body which you can do either through the skin or in some other way and I think you said you were going to test that too. It sounds interesting.

Right. And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute, one minute and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number (INAUDIBLE) interesting to check that so that you are going to have to use medical doctors with but it sounds interesting to me so we will see but the whole concept of the light the way it kills it in one minute that's--that's pretty powerful."

This statement by the President of the United States was so dangerous, so appalling, that companies like the manufacturers of disinfectants like Lysol had to immediately put out public service ads warning the public against ingesting their products into a human body. Because it would kill them.

Is that the person you want in the White House for the next four years?"

Here's a second ad, aimed to all voters and telling them why it's important for them to register then actually vote:

Start with a voice over announcer asking the question:

"Donald Trump does not want to make it easier and safer for you to vote this November. He opposes any measure that could save your life while allowing you to cast the ballot that is your Constitutional right. And why not? Here is his explanation:

Republicans wouldn’t win if voting was made easier and readily available.

When discussing the first stimulus package, Trump asserted how he and the GOP made sure to gut any measures proposed by the Democrats to help voters exercise their rights. This included a severe decrease in the amount of money Democrats requested for states to help them run elections.

Mr. Trump torpedoed Democratic proposals for vote-by-mail, same-day registration and early voting:

“The things they had in there were crazy. They had things, levels of voting that if you’d ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again,”

Yeah, Mr. Bloomberg. How about running those ads, or shortened versions of them, and hundreds of others. The material is there and Mr. Trump keeps adding to the stockpile every day. Run them over and over, and drag his poll ratings down below 40%. Then below 35. Then below 30. At which point, the rats- the Republicans- will be diving off that sinking ship. And maybe, just maybe, the Democratis can prove that they can run a campaign as well as they can run a government once they actually win office and control a house- or both houses- of Congress.

I'd like that. Very much.
