Obama especially, whether candidates or president.

Never getting the mote out of their own eyes, the Trump/GOP/media tack has always been to target the Democrat for her/his lack of total perfection.

We need to run SO many party ads to the contrary --
about Trump lies,
broken promises,
broken laws and immorality over the border,
net tariffs losses,
golfing costs,
secret phone calls,
secret meetings,
secret servers
Russian contributions to ALL the GOP Senators and Trump
-- where the ads end with, "and you think a DEMOCRAT is imperfect??" [ominous music]

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
