Latino Victory Fund: We'll Double Down On Controversial Ad Strategy After Virginia Win
BuzzFeed ^ | November 7, 2017 | Adrian Carrasquillo and Darren Sands

With Democrat Ralph Northam winning Virginia's fiercely competitive governor's race Tuesday night, you would think that would mean a sigh of relief for the Latino group that inserted itself into the last week of the campaign, drawing harsh criticism over an ad that showed a pickup truck with a Confederate flag and a bumper sticker for Republican Ed Gillespie chasing down minority children.

But Latino Victory Fund, which briefly ran the ad early last week, says it will instead double down on its strategy.

In a sense the ad worked. The Obama coalition, upper middle class and above whites and minorities, turned out to vote.

Why wouldn’t they? The race baiting fear mongering seems to have worked for them.

Doubt ti had ANYTHING to do with the add. HUGE number of Swamp employees in Washington live and work in Northern Virginia.

Trump needs to fire as many as possible and so disperse them all over the country.

I do not think it was the ad as much as Gilespee is a major rino.

This is where they will make their mistake, they are going to double down this and it won't be a seller in non-liberal sections of the country.

Even the Washington Post came out against it immediately because they realized how terrible and divisive of an idea it was.

It's time for "OUR SIDE" to fight fire with fire, then! These disgusting POS have no shame, so why should we?

They all HATE Trump. One reason is because he fights back and doesn't take any prisoners; not because of race, religion, sex, nor ethnicity. And it's long past time ( like 6 decades too damned long! ) that the stupid GOP has just rolled over and taken it!

Go for it.

Every time the Democrats think they’ve got Trump, they overreach.

A look into their funding would be interesting. But I doubt the VA GOPe even has the energy for that. They would probably sit up for a few minutes in their office chairs and make vague gestures toward their keyboards...”Well, I don’t think I really know where to start, there...ah...” And then lapse back into a semi-comatose state thinking about taking a shower or getting back to work on their playlists or ordering something fun and digital from Amazon.

Every time they run an ad like that, the republicans should double down on building a wall and getting rid of these people.

I don’t recall that the Gillespie campaign punched back on the ad, but admit I might have missed it if they did.

If not, Virginia Republicans likely had a flashback to the George W. Bush presidency.

Their ad turned a runaway into a race. I hope they do double down.

Fight fire with fire. Produce an ad showing a line of gun owners turning in their firearms, being guarded by Black Panthers and MS-13 with billy clubs. After depositing their guns in a disposal bin, the “former” gun owners are herded onto boxcars.
