(53,410 posts)I wonder if these ads are being used multiple times or just once.
BurgherHoldtheLies
(4,137 posts)they decide where/how to spend their money placing those ads broadly in battleground states. They choose the right ads for the right demographic targets.
I believe this one is a real winner and should be played in major ad buys everywhere it counts for the electoral college win for Biden/Harris.

(53,410 posts)Im glad theyre doing that. I hope it hits their target groups like a bullseye!

(4,400 posts)This is just the raw truth from a non-political man who is well-known and respected. White BB fans who are are uncomfortable with the idiot's actions and inactions may make the jump to Biden/Harris.

(2,448 posts)yet to see one - except the Internet. I hope they realize who the states are and that WI needs more than Milwaukee and Madison to vote. We got burned in the Fox Valley in 2016. I hope Biden and the national teams open their eyes. Trump has been pounding that turf since 2018.

(6,150 posts)Even though we love their ads, the position of most DUers is that we should not send them any money.
And then we wonder why their ads don't make prime time.

(4,137 posts)A super PAC thats targeting President Donald Trump is initiating a $4 million ad blitz thats set to run throughout the week of the Republican National Convention.
The Lincoln Project, a political action committee run by a group of Republican Never Trumpers, is spending the seven figure sum on TV and digital ads that will target voters in the key states of Arizona, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, a spokesman for the group told CNBC.
The PAC plans to air a revamped version of their famed ad, Mourning in America, which will now feature an updated U.S. death toll from the coronavirus pandemic, along with another spot that boosts Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris. Data compiled by Johns Hopkins University shows that over 175,000 people have died in the U.S. from Covid-19.

(22,839 posts)A form of clapping in which audience members clap slowly, with long intervals between claps, as a form of heckling and to show that they disapprove of a performer, speaker, etc. A form of applause (especially used in films for dramatic effect) that slowly crescendoes from one person's clapping to a crowd's.

(6,225 posts)The fear in in the white community. They are afraid they will lose control of the country; afraid they will no longer be the ones who call the shots, and get the best seats at the table.
They call themselves Christians, yet so many of them have no love in their hearts.
Jesus said. "whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do also unto me".
Millions of White Americans have been doing their best to do their worst to the black, brown, red, and yellow Americans.
Doc Rivers is right to ask why Black Americans love this country when so many people in this country don't love them back.
I am an old white guy, and I stand with Doc Rivers.

(783 posts)on TV, I have not ONCE heard the beginning where he speaks about tRump. They always cut that part out. VERY powerful ad and it should hit home for ALL Americans. Doc is one hell of a coach, but most importantly one hell of a human being.
