and posted to Fakebook. I only kept that account around for one reason. So I could share these ads with people who might otherwise never see them.

This is one of the worst Democratic ads I have seen this cycle because it is so reminiscent of typical Democratic ads...desperate to squeeze in everything.

The recent column on Lincoln Project was so terrific because it emphasized that the opposite style was effective, focusing on one or two key variables that leave lasting impact. With so few undecideds you need to grab them quickly and point to to a specific area, one they may not have considered. The totality obviously hasn't been enough. This Winslow ad is merely another totality vehicle. It looks like something Chuck Schumer would produce.

"Part of it is skill: The Lincoln Project ads are slick, quick and filled with damning quotes and unflattering photos. But part of it might just be that Republicans are better at this than Democrats."

A failed businessman, filed bankruptcy 5 times and was $950 million in debt when he took office---IS THIS THE MAN WE THOUGHT WOULD REVIVE OUR ECONOMY? WHAT THE HELL WERE WE THINKING?
