Trump campaign to counter Dems' debate by flying massive banner blasting socialism (Houston)

While some may be anticipating sparks to fly between Democratic candidates onstage, the Trump campaign plans to literally fly its counter messaging in the air above Houston ahead of Thursday's debate.

President Donald Trump's campaign intends to counter-program the Democratic primary debate hosted by ABC News and Univision with an ad blitz that includes two front-page newspaper ads and flying a massive banner in the air that blasts socialism just before candidates take the stage.

"Socialism will kill Houston's economy!" the ad reads, along with a number to text, according to a rendering provided to ABC News by a Trump campaign official.

The campaign is spending around $7,500 for the flight and production of the ad, which is scheduled to fly from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. local time -- an hour before Democrats are set to square-off in their first one-night debate this cycle.

This isn't the first time the campaign utilized the sky to spread its message. Over Labor Day, the president's reelection campaign targeted beaches in key swing states with airborne banners.

No, the flag of the Romney wing of the GOP is the White flag.

Excellent idea! People have to realize that what is being proposed by the Dem candidates...all of them...is radical, coercive socialism.

Trump opens up a new front on the war against socialism/socialists with an aerial campaign. Surprised their not carpet bombing with biodegradable leaflets as well.
