Very stunning and visual ad!

Everybody is tossing in their own 'ad' ideas. I would only make one change, Erick. Well, two. 1) Wouldn't use the term 'boy' - even though you do not mean it in a racist manner, and the odds are an older AA woman would refer to a young man as a boy. But rich white people up North do not know that and would assume it was meant as racist. 2). My pictures on the wall would be MLK Jr. And President Obama, and maybe add our Lord and Savior.

My idea for an ad:

Footage of a Trump rally with the crowd chanting, "Build the Wal!" followed by Jim Acosta standing in front of the border wall saying, 'I don't see any sign of a crisis'

Then images of the 10,000+ plus immigrants under that bridge with Biden, Harris and Mayorkis saying, 'The Border is secure."

Gas station signs showing low prices during Trump and higher during Biden.

Biden saying, 'Inflation was 9% when I took office' then a graph showing it was less than 2% when Biden took office and hitting 9% not long after.

Show footage of people talking about how expensive things have gotten... can't afford rent, buy a house, gas, groceries, etc.

Footage of homeless encampments in NYC, LA, San Fran and other cities.

Footage of the NYC cops getting beaten, followed by footage of the migrants walking out blowing kisses and flipping off America.

Footage of the signing of the Abraham Accords. Then Jake Sullivan saying, 'The Middle East is as quiet today as its been in 20 years.' Then show the October 7th footage, of the 300 missle attack by Iran and footage of the anti-Israel protests.

Then show Russia bombing the snot out of Ukraine.

Narration, "Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is America better off than it was four years ago? Is the world better off than it was four years ago?

Close with 'Trump 2024.'

My brother Erick, Thank you for your email today w The Lie. It is a DIAMOND in the rough that might prevent some voters from reading the entirety. May I respectfully suggest a short morph: DRAMA: Americans, please vote on November 5th. The commercial opens with a wide shot of a house with aluminum siding, and wooden steps in front. The family car is parked nearby; the yard is small but well kept. The camera slowly begins to zoom to a tall young man who gently knocks at the door; to his left is a modestly dressed young woman. A cordial African-American opens the door. The young man says: “Good afternoon. Is this the Johnson home? My name is Andre. This is my coworker, Susan. We are here on behalf of the Biden campaign. Mr. Johnson we believe Joe Biden has been loyal to our community. We are hoping that President Biden can count on you this November. Can he? Mr. Johnson excitedly says: YES, he can.” Susan jumps up and down smiling. Andre: excitedly says: “thank you Mr. Johnson. President Biden thanks you.” Andre and Susan exit, stage left. Mr. Johnson closes the door. His wife is sitting on a velvet couch in the living room. Above her is a portrait of Donald Trump‘s. Mrs. Johnson whispers frantically: “Clarence, why did you lie to that boy?” Mr. Johnson: “Yes, honey, I lied. You know we can barely put food on the table and gas in the car, and our neighborhood just isn’t safe anymore. (Cut to a black screen text): “Vote for an affordable America… vote for a safe America… vote Trump, the man without manners. Such is life, sometimes”

Wow!!! Not sure about the ethics, but I kind of like it. Maybe fighting fire with fire? Living in Puerto Rico, I can only offer opinions, not vote for president. My point of view: There are a multitude of reasons why no one should vote for Biden. I do not like Trump, but... Furthermore, I never imagined I would see the USA scraping the bottom of the barrel for candidates for president, especially since 2016. But no one can keep us from praying for God's mercy to send a revival.

I see CBS will be airing the Pope tonight. As a Southern Baptist It won’t matter to me as the pope isn’t in the Holy Bible.

Make all the suggestion to your heart's desire. Trump and his gang will follow through with some disappointing ads. Both sides do this. There are times you have to wonder if they are either trying to lose the election or just waste money or both. Politics does not bring out the best and the brightest. Politics bring out the grifters, the people who do not care who wins or loses as long as they get their cut.

Can someone float this to the TRUMP campaign!? As a conservative Black woman...I am truly disgusted by BIDEN...He is so hate-ridden and HE is truly the racist (Black men being gunned down...what bullshit!)

When I get something from the Democrats in my FB feed, I add the comment “are you better off now than you were four years ago?”. I usually get one or two answers from people who say they are. I reply, “what is your secret?”. Crickets. No simple answer like “frugal living” or “careful investments”, just silence.

Let me give you a scenario. Trump is elected by a wide margin. Things should start getting better, right? No, the Democrats have set up roadblocks to slow down the confirmation of his appointments. Biden’s Executive Orders have locks built in so Trump can’t remove them. They have infiltrated the levels of bureaucracy with true believers who will slow down or stop any changes.

They only have to do it for four years.
