(R)’s always want to ‘play nice’.
(D)’s always want to kick (R)’s ass............
No, this isn’t the case here.
Dems actually running a “nicer” campaign, the Saccone campaign and ads have been far more negative in general.
However, as I said, the Saccone campaign could have been run by any republican for the last 15 years or more.... IF the Trump I and D’s were going to show up to vote for that, they would have done it before 2016.
This election like all mid terms is about MOTIVATION, and the ads Saccone is running I have felt form day one are completely the wrong message. Yes, they are red meat ads that will play to the core R, but they are NOT going to motivate turnout outside of the reliable R voter... They aren’t going to motivate the MAGA I and D voter who showed up for Trump.
Basically the ads are just tie lamb to Pelosi... this literally could be any election for a decade or more ads running.. its like 2016 never happened.
If I were running the show I would play up the Trump win, and make the argument why the MAGA voters need to show up to keep Trump’s win going. That’s not the message Saccone has been making in fact Trump’s name has not really been mentioned by either candidate. Though in the last few days Saccone has been try to claim “I was Trump before Trump” in interviews, which is again TERRIBLE....
If the R’s lose this race, it will be because of messaging, and if the messaging in this race is what they plan on for November they will lose the house.
