7. I hope they can - though October might be a better time, in that case.

If they go for a nationwide ad buy now, it would be viewed in the context of a "Bill Maher show clip."

By September/October, few will remember that it actually originated as a spoof of sorts.

10. I think Bloomberg already bought a 10 or 20 mil ad spot, I know it was bigger than what tRump spent

Because even if he's not the nominee, they do a great job of knocking Cheeto.

Assuming he's not the nominee, I'd love to see Bloomberg in a top role in the next administration.

...he's said up front that if he's not the nominee, he'll be all up supporting whoever is because the priority is dumping Trump. We'll see if he follows through but that's what we need to hear ALL the nominees saying.

With the laugh track, it will appear that we are making fun of someone who is obviously mentally disabled.

Remove the laugh track, and you can clearly see that something is wrong with Trump.

We already know that. Much of the country still needs to wake up.

15. This is from last night's show. That was a live audience.

The title of the ad could be "President Foster Brooks".

But I'm sure they have a version without the laughter that they could put out. And they need to do that so that we can spread it far and wide.

I think we're both dating ourselves here. You mentioned Foster Brooks and I know who he was.

claims he doesn't drink. It's either another lie or there is a very serious medical problem.

21. I'm pretty certain it's a medical problem.

That, and he has to be taking some sort of medication.
A lot of medication!
