I know many don’t read Bruni’s column in the NYT, often for good reason, but sometimes it is worthwhile. Some here didn’t appreciate my comments on the Lincoln Project for varying reasons such as “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”, I replied I don’t believe that crap. I...

I found some of their attack ads amusing for a short time, then I remembered the origins of these attacks, similar in style to attack ads released against the left by republicans and done by the same people. They were totally ineffective with respect to Trump’s supporters and I do...
Latin singer Mark Anthony and the Lincoln Project released a new video of a devasted Puerto Rico. Anthony, who is Puerto Rican, narrates the ad and blasts Trump for his lack of response to the island's natural disasters, the Covid crisis, the ruined electrical grid, his racism, and a devastated economy....
this one is very low key, very quiet. It is called simply enough “Mom.” So what do you think?

Yet again an ad with two versions, one in English, the other in Spanish, and again targeted at Lation/Latinas. The first was targeted to Florida. I would guess this one will run in TX and AZ and NV x YouTube Video x YouTube Video
It never mentions Trump. It is gentle in its approach, affirming of masculinity, and acknowledging that some men made a mistake 4 years ago. At the end it say that men should vote for change, “vote for Joe.” Watch and Listen, then share widely.
offered both in English: x YouTube Video and in Spanish: x YouTube Video Think it might have an impact in Florida?
You need to remember that The Swamp is the nickname for Ben Hill Griffin Stadium for the U of Florida Gators football team. And it is not just the players who are now positive for Covid-19, but also the head coach Dan Mullen x YouTube Video
which puts on display Trump’s total disrespect for women, something he clearly demonstrated last night when challenged by Savannah Guthrie x YouTube Video

Most of the ad has no spoken words it frames the wall in contrast to the lives lost to Covid. It has Trump speaking at the end and I think it’s silence, and the words playing on the screen, make it very effective. Watch:

It is longer than the typical piece It is very positive reviewing Biden talking about his loss, his being a father talking about his character, compassion, and decency It is a choice to vote for a man with that kind of character, or a man without one. Watch:
which is not a positive day it addresses the crisis to which so many are now subject, that they might get evicted, because Trump’s Executive “actions” did NOT extend the federal ban on such, but only advised Federal agencies to consider what they might do. Watch, then pass on:
