1. They have a great team putting these ads together.

Every one of them is wonderful. This one made me cry.

[qwlauren35]

2. That was definitely fast.

Do you think they knew? Or they just reacted very, very fast? Or they made up an ad for each contender and then ran the Harris ad when it was time.

[Celerity]

6. they knew, probably were told yesterday or this morning

[JHB]

8. Unlikely. The better bet is that they made several versions...

...one for Harris, one for Rice, etc., so that they'd have one ready to go once it was announced.

[BannonsLiver]

10. Nah

SOP would have been to have multiple ads ready to go. They didn’t know.

[JHB]

7. I think they had several variants made and ready to go

The majority of the run time is about general things and Joe. Maybe 20 seconds of the minute ad involve Harris by name, and those are "modular" enough that it's likely they made versions for all the "finalists", only needing the announcement to pick which one to use.

[Celerity]

9. I could also believe that too, given your explanation

[BannonsLiver]

12. I'm not sure it's legal for them to coordinate with the Biden campaign anyway

Someone with actual legitimate knowledge of campaign finance law might be able to speak to that.

[JHB]

13. If they were tipped off early, that would be coordination.

If they just made several versions based on the likely choices, that's not coordination, it's contingency planning, covering all the bases to get the jump on things once the announcement was made.

[BannonsLiver]

15. Yeah for sure. I was talking about if they were tipped off.

Like you, it was obvious to me they would have prepared multiple ads or simply dropped her into an ad they had ready, since as you mentioned, they are modular.

3. nice rapid response positive ad

[smirkymonkey]

4. That was great!

Very inspiring and uplifting. Aren't people just tired of all the hatred and negativity over the last 3 1/2 years? Even if you are on the fence, I would think you would just want a break from the drama, gloom and divisiveness that the Trump administration has offered up as it's only fare to a nation that is starving for solutions.

I am exhausted by it and I imagine millions of others are too. We want some hope and some peace back in our lives. This is why I think Joe and Kamala will win in November. We just have to watch and prevent their dirty tricks, because you know they will try.

5. I like it!

Good job TLP !! Onward!!!

[crickets]

11. Positive and uplifting ads are great too. Another good one - K&R

[calimary]

16. I'll take 'em!

[Wounded Bear]

14. They are doing more than just attack ads...

pretty good effort here.

[Tommymac]

17. Ok Mike Bloomberg, time for $$$$$$$$ to play this ad on Prime Time...

Every night through the convention.



Mike?



Mike?




Bueller?

[BrightKnight]

22. How much air are their ads getting?

Most of their ads a really good.

[Tommymac]

23. I really don't know - I'd say 75% on the internet only, but that's just a guess.

I know they air more in the DC area since a main purpose of their ads is to get under Donnie's thin skin.

[Lisa0825]

18. Great overt messaging and almost subliminal messaging!

Lots of positive words and images when showing Biden and Harris, and then very brief images of Trump, including one of his family, and almost quick enough to miss it, "weakness" twice and "family wealth" once.

Republicans may be all for wealth, but people are struggling right now, so I see that as a shot too.

[dalton99a]

19. Great ad.

[onetexan]

20. Darn that was fast!!

Thank u Lincoln Project!

[colorado_ufo]
