I agree, but connect that feeling with the candidate for ownership of the concept and it does the candidate good. Otherwise, you’re only doing the viewer good because it makes only us feel good. Associate that good feeling with only your candidate seemingly being able to deliver that feeling, and you get a Ronald Reagan type ad.
And again, I believe that that little 30 second spot spoke to what is good about the country, what DH stands for, that all that was good about Reagan's America can happen again if DH is in the White House--that was my intent, in an amateur way...
