Swift Boat Veterans for Truth was an effort in 2004 to discredit John Kerry's claims about his military service in the Vietnam War.
Top Republican donors are launching a new super PAC to ramp up the advertising effort on behalf of President Trump.
The effort is being led by Chris LaCivita, the mind behind Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the effort to undermine 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry's stories about his time in the Vietnam War.
The new organization, Preserve America, will spend an initial $30 million on an immediate advertising blitz to counter an onslaught of ads from the Biden camp. Politico reports that PAC organizers expect the support of a wide array of GOP megadonors, including Sheldon Adelson and Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus.
Trump is now getting massively outspent by the Biden campaign on TV ads. Advertising Analytics, a media tracking firm, reported that Trump was outspent 8-to-1 this month in Wisconsin and 3-to1 in Florida, both battleground states.
Preserve America will air its first commercials Tuesday in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
The ads will initially focus on the president's renewed law-and-order platform, amid the social justice protests of recent months that have often turned violent.
Some of the ads will feature direct-to-camera testimonials from families of slain law enforcement officers and children killed by gang violence.
"Joe Biden is not going to take a stand. He can't do the tough things, he's too worried about popular opinion. That's his character," says John Gillis, a retired L.A. police lieutenant whose daughter was murdered by a gang member.
"If we don't go with the president we have now, I think we're really in trouble as a nation," he continues.
LaCivita, who has worked in Republican politics for 30 years, said of the new PAC's efforts: "The radical left-wing mob is trying to destroy our country from within, and Joe Biden is too weak to stop them. It's a concern shared by a growing number of Americans, and we intend to spread their message far and wide over the coming months."
In the final weeks of the 2016 campaign, a similar pro-Trump PAC — Future45 — was launched, to spend millions of last-minute dollars on behalf of the GOP candidate's White House bid.
I do not think that TV adverts are as important as they used to be. I really don’t.
God bless these patriots!

Doing digital media too.
Swift Boat Admiral John Ketchup Kerry has all the answers....
Some one just needs to make an ad of Joe looking right into the camera saying “If you don’t vote for me then you ain’t black!” Just loop it for 30 seconds. Play it in Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, D.C., NYC, Philadelphia, San Francisco, LA, Seattle, Cleveland, Houston, Austin, Dallas, and Portland.
Sounds like a winner to me!
Why is this happening?
“Not as important” and “not very important” are two different things...I would say they are actually more important this cycle given the COVID19 and retail politics are being less practiced and more people are getting entertained by TV/media. These ad buys apply to digital mediums as well. Sales of antennas have increased over the last several years as well as people dump cable realizing they can get several dozen, if not over a hundred in some places, free over the air channels in high definition.
